Do you notice their similarity?The man in the right photos is not the famous Barack Obama but he's name is Ilham Anas, an 34 year old Indonesian Magazine Photographer. This man bears a striking resemblance to the President of United States, Barack Obama. Anas now starting to get famous as Obama look alike and already making public appearances around Asia and even becoming a role model in Philippines heartburn medication. Wow! That's a luck :)

Yes, I know. He was all over our TV yesterday, he has suddenly become famous and receiving lot of modelling offers too! he says his wish now is to go to Washington once and shake hands with the real guy. It is indeed surprising that there could be so much similarity between two people from completely different areas of the world.

I really don't think that he looks like Obama a lot. There are similarities but I don't think that they look that much alike. I hope that he doesn't become too popular over there as Obama should be the one who will make public appearances. We only need one President and we don't need somene trying to be him.

Lol, I think you taking this matter too seriously Carolscash, From what I read and saw in the media, this man doesn't want to fully impersonate the US President. It is his friends and relatives whom blow this look alike issue to the media. And as Obama Mania spread around the world, the media are taking advantage of any issue regarding this matter. I think this man is just a small portion of media exploitation on Obama mania issue. And I'm pretty sure that 2 or 3 months latter, many people will start to forget about this man. That's easy came easy go ...
