Lego Obamas get Inauguration Day fashion makeover

Barack, Michelle, Malia and Sasha Obama at Legoland California

Legoland California updated the recently unveiled presidential inauguration scene at the Carlsbad theme park to more closely resemble the wardrobes worn by First Lady Michelle Obama and first daughters Malia and Sasha.

Lego Michelle, who wore a red dress at the Capitol in Miniland USA before the inauguration, has changed into a yellow ensemble (no “lemon grass” Lego bricks were available).

The Lego first daughters switched from patriotic colors to their inauguration day finery — Malia in a periwinkle coat and Sasha in a pink jacket with orange scarf.

Lego Aretha Frankiin at Obama presidential inauguration

Even singer Aretha Franklin got a Lego makeover — donning her now familiar gray bow hat and matching outfit (although she looks like a killer fembot to me).

Lego Barack Obama’s dark suit and red tie remain unchanged.

Here’s hoping Lego Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. recites the correct oath of office at the Legobama inauguration.

Obama screwed up, Roberts was unable to recover. If you listen, you’ll hear Obama start in on the oath immediately after Roberts says his name- and goes beyond what Roberts said to that point to “do solemnly swear”, and then Roberts is all off kilter and screws up further. Point being, Roberts and Obama should get at least equal blame, if not Obama getting more.
