Cardboard cutout of Obama used by Norwegians for “Save the Children” concert
The AP reports on some Norwegian concert organizers who got creative after finding out President Obama would not be attending the “Save the Children” concert as part of his Nobel prize tour (via Fausta):
OSLO — President Barack Obama’s decision to break with tradition and not follow the lead of past Nobel Peace Prize winners bewildered some Norwegians. Others thought he was being impolite.
Obama had quite a whirlwind day Thursday – he signed the Nobel guest book, huddled with Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, met with King Harald V and Queen Sonja, and delivered an acceptance speech after he was formally presented with the prize. He also joined the king and queen at an evening banquet.
But he skipped several other activities, including lunch with the king, a news conference at Oslo’s Grand Hotel, CNN’s traditional interview with the prize winner and a “Save the Children” benefit concert, where organizers replaced him with an Obama cardboard cutout. Obama also won’t be around for Friday’s Nobel Concert.
Here’s a photo (look to the right):
Hmmm. I think an empty suit would have worked better.

Even the cardboard cutout has an “air” about it. – Lorica
What ??? No TOTUS stand in ?
That is hilarious! Hats off to Norway for sending a message to The One. I’m sure everyone enjoyed themselves more for not having to bow down to His Oneness.
I attended 2 town hall meetings with an absent congresscritters’ picture at the head table.
Sure wish we could have a cardboard cutout instead of the real thing.
Since Rahmbo, Axelrod, and a collection of far-left czars are running the executive branch anyway, we might as well have a cardboard cutout ourselves.
Neo – I have it on good authority that the teleprompter refused to humiliate itself like that. Unlike Obama, the ‘prompter’s hard drive has standards.
But, where are the cardboard cutout teleprompters???
Fortunately, for the event holders, their Obama was more honest and transparent than the real one!~
Meh, the cutout is smarter than the real one anyway.
They could have been a bit more creative; mount the Obama cut-out on top of an occillating fan, so he turns back and forth at cardboard teleprompters, and blows air!
Looks like an empty suit to me……
I really hope other countries don’t think Americans are as ignorant as he is. However I like the cutout much more. He makes my stomach turn.
