The similarities between Indonesian
photographer IIham Anas and President Obama
has made the 36 year old a TV star in his
country. Anas has appeared in several TV ads.
"I see my resemblance to Obama as a blessing,"
he says. "I used to look at the mirror and I had
a negative perception of myself."
He regularly gets stopped in airports by Obama
admirers. He has taken to wearing a hat and
sunglasses on the street to avoid the inevitable
questions. He is a huge fan of Obama, and is
careful with the work he chooses, refusing jobs
he feels might be controversial or reflect badly
on Obama. Now he travels the world, lending his
likeness to various charities and causes.
