I'm just trying to reach out to more Americans, but they keep reaching for themselves.

I think Joe Biden would be funnier, but I have yet to see anyone do even a halfway decent impression of him for some reason.

This guy is a way better Obama than the guy on SNL. Why is that guy so bad?

As so often on YouTube, the actual video is only the tip of the iceberg. The sad, hilarious iceberg.

See, if this was real, I would have a LOLgasm and die, because he totally would if he could get away with it, just like he wanted to be the one riding the hovercraft in that other video...

The voice is great, but the guy looks so unlike Obama that I don't think I'd even know who he was supposed to be until he said a few phrases.

Yeah, he only looks like Obama in that he's a light-skinned black man in a suit. But the voice and the inflection is frickin perfect.

Um. I think you should modify the "SFW" comment. Someone drops the F-bomb pretty suddenly and loudly there.

visually, he's got the right facial structure, but this nose is all wrong (and he looks a bit too young) as is the coloration and hair is off a bit, along with the length of the face (hey I know a lot of caricaturists and he is one of the most photographed figures...) But yea, the voice and infection is perfect.

I haven't seen enough of Fred Armisten on SNL to have an opinion on his Obamatude, but he's pretty great as part of the Thunderant sketch-comedy duo (with Carrie Brownstein, formerly of Sleater-Kinney).
This Alphacat guy does have the voice down, though. "I was hoping to reach Americans, but in the process found a lot of Americans reaching for themselves."

I ran into Snoop Dogg there a couple weeks ago. Blew my mind. Talked with him for a minute. Nice guy. He was looking for naked women with a bunch of his friends, so I couldn't in good conscience hold up his search. It was a week or so after he was on Lopez tonight playing Chatroulette Bingo.
