President Obama's Inauguration has been recreated at LEGOLAND California! A crowd of over one thousand mini figures can be seen in front of LEGO brick Capitol building. Temperatures at this mock swearing in ceremony are much warmer than at the real ceremony.

I wish I could have a lego president Obama!

I can't wait to see the inside of the lego white house!!

I think that it is great that evryone is so positive about our first African American president and that we are celebretibg it in a way that both young and old can apreciate.

Obama is awesome!!!! Great Job!!!

This is very cool! I can't believe someone actually made this! Congratulations to Obama for winning too! The White House is awesome in this! I love this and I think that National Geographic should publish another story likes this. Love it!!

I love Barack Obama.. He is very astute and with a fresh new democratic approach to everything I think he will lead our nation in a very positive and optomistic manner. Very clever to those poeple who have illustrated this LEGO creation
** I have been to Lego Land **

the construction of the capitol building is cool, it looks like the real thing!hahahahahahaha

Thats cool!!!!!!!

P.S. I've been to Legoland.

OMG!! I wish I had the patience to build something like that!

Very, very, wicked. President Obama is a very good President, and obviously whoever made this is a very good LEGO builder.

who ever buuilt this might be even famous or even maybe richwwwwwooooowwww!!!!!!!!! and ccccooooollll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think that the lego white house is awesome but the book seriosly looks like a pizza box they really need to change that but it would look even better if they wouldnt have that huge giant over the white house. GET YOUR GUNS OUT GUARDS!!!!!

lol cutey16, but yeah nice work dude. i wish i had that in my house so i can act like king kong and knock it over. but go OBAMA!

That is so cool. Whoever made this is the best eva! OBAMA!!!

Patience is a virtue and the team that built that certainly has patience.

I wonder how much money it cost to build that work of art?

I wish Legoland as a real world where people can live(There'll have to be real food).
