He looks O, so familiar.

Maybe it's the American-flag lapel pin, or that supersized smile - or maybe it's just those ears. But the man posing for pictures outside the Grace Hotel in Midtown Wednesday was not really the nation's commander in chief, even if some European tourists were fooled.

KEYWORDS: lookalike; obama
When asked how many States form the Union, he responded "Fifty" and thus the similarity ended.

"Never in a million years could I imagine I could look like not just someone famous, but THE someone," Ortiz told The Post.

” He says he voted for the Democrat, and not just out of selfish reasons.
“I’m a union man,” he explained.”

Yeah, but is this guy an accomplished pick-pocket as well?

A local Kia dealer has been running ads with an Obama lookalike for months. I don’t know what they hope to gain by it, but I wouldn’t shop there. They did start out sort of poking fun at him, but it’s evolved to a glowing portrayal since Obama took the White House.

"I'm a union man," he explained.

Yeah, and he's proud of it, even though he's an out-of-work union man. Typical good work by the unions.

A casino in IN is using an Obama sound-alike on the radio hawking their grand opening. I have to turn the radio down or change the channels. Can't, won't, and just plain absolutely refuse to listen to that bass turd in any way shape or form.

Ortiz, an out-of-work former field technician for Verizon, never dreamed a Puerto Rican kid from Morris Park could find fame and fortune as a presidential lookalike.
Who do you think dances better, him or the real 0bama?

There’s a local school-run radio station that only plays ‘70s music. It’s pretty fun to listen to, but they’ve now cycled in new promos that say something like, “KEOM, your home for great ‘70s music and local news.” That’s followed by a clip of Obama saying, “That’s right!” Totally unnecessary.

Video of interview with Louis Ortiz:

He does look like the usuper- although he needs to do something about the gap in his front teeth.
