Is Barack Obama in the Hall? If so, where is he positioned?  
This is one exhibit I find both interesting and slightly creepy at the same time-FDR (in his wheel chair looks alive). Is any video online?

Yes, since 2009. Pretty much front and center as I believe the current president usually is.

I’m not sure I would have [recognized him](http://cdn.wdwmagic.com/imgstore/ElementGalleryItems/attractions/Fullsize/Hall-of-Presidents_Full_7751.jpg) if I didn’t know who he was.

Is that Andrew Jackson back there? He looks like he just got out of bed after the most epic bender in the history of benders

Behind Grant? I think that’s James Buchanan.

Don’t be too hard on Jackson. When he was in his teens–during the Revolution–he refused to shine a British officer’s boots and the officer struck him in the face with his sword. Andy was a fighter all his life.
