    At the Madame Tussaud Museum's Birthday Exhibit, a visitor stood between two Presidents who celebrated their 50th birthdays in the White House and bent over to see if the Oprah Winfree figure's microphone had the "OWN" imprint on it.

    Hillary waves proudly from the far side of the room thinking she was just looking for a few more cracks in her ceiling during the campaign days while Obama just keeps having to raise his.

    Everyone eagerly awaits for the cake to arrive as it is reportedly to be a lot like the government with lots of excess fat and too many layers.
