Obama’s popularity has really spread around the world. Everything from streets, hotels, and even people are being named after the newly elected President of the United States.
For one photographer in Indonesia, it is not the name Obama that has thrown him into almost instant fame, but rather his face.
Ilham Anas bares a striking resemblance to the president-elect Barack Obama in this recent commercial.
The whole thing initially started as a job for Ilham.
“When Obama won, my colleagues played a practical joke on me — they made me wear a suit, a tie, and took pictures of me posing as Obama,” said Ilham.

“The pictures spread very quickly on the Internet. It was phenomenal. Then TV stations and an advertising agency got in touch with me.”
Ilham says he is often mistaken for Obama and people ask to take pictures with him.
“I never thought I would be a star in a commercial, then this happened. It’s very fortunate,” Ilham said.
I’ve long held that his BC contains some other information that puts his life story in question.

Yep. I’ve thought it might be ethnic identity - or something equally fundamental that would alienate his supporters. Otherwise he wouldn’t care much, right?
The fellow in the middle appears to be attired in Soetorial splendor...
The guy second from the right used to be on SNL I think. :’)
OMG! There’s two of them.
One’s bad enough.....
Now I’m going to have nightmares tonight.
OMG!!! HAS to be related. O M G that is weird as hell
ping.
LOL!
Yes, he does and the blue lips are not indicative of African heritage but very much indicative or Mideastern heritage.
Wow, dead ringer! Maybe he’ll get an immigration visa from Jay Leno, he likes to have presidential impersonators to have fun with.
OMG that was wickedly funny
Good Lord, that’s scary.
What I’ve never been able to figure out is why the people like him who hate it here so much and hate what we stand for, don’t simply go back to the paradise that their ancestors came from?
Actually, I do know. In their hatred, they want to take us down.
If you compare Barry to the man they claim is his father - there is NO resemblance whatsoever. Nothing -
Crap, I just had a vision of this doing an ad on tv, strumming a guitar singing “Viva LaKula Lampur” for a Cialis commercial...
