Is Barack Obama a robot?

Barack Obama's amazingly consistent smile from Eric Spiegelman on Vimeo.

"Ladies and gentlemen, your President is a robot," says Eric Spiegelman on his webpage. "Or a wax sculpture.  Maybe a cardboard cutout.  All I know is no human being has a photo smile this amazingly consistent."

In his strangely compelling montage, he pieced together a load of photos of the president with guests at a New York reception, showing how Obama's face never changes.

"On Wednesday," he writes, "the Obamas hosted a reception at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, during which they stood for 130 photographs with visiting foreign dignitaries in town for the UN meeting.  The President has exactly the same smile in every single shot."

This may be a bit of photo trickery, but even if it's not, how hard can it be to smile exactly the same a hundred times in a row?
