President Obama Look-Alike Performs at Washington Events
April 23, 2013
In some countries, people can be put in jail for impersonating political leaders. But in places where freedom of speech is protected, you may see people mimicking politicians in public or on television.
In the Washington area, Larry Graves, who closely resembles President Barack Obama, entertains people at conferences and other events as an Obama look-alike.
When Graves spoke at an environmental conference at a hotel in Arlington, Virginia, some people weren’t sure at first if he was President Obama. The audience smiled and laughed once they realized Graves is an Obama look-alike.
"I want to thank the Environmental Information Association for having me here today. I understand this is your 30th anniversary, so congratulations," said Graves at the podium.
Mike Farrell, who attended the conference, was taken aback when Graves walked into the room.
"It’s really astonishing how close he actually is - his mannerisms, the way that he speaks, his hair, you know the whole package," Farrell expressed.
The whole package includes two men playing Secret Service agents protecting the Obama look-alike. Matt Baldwin has been at Graves' side for five years.
"People have actually come up to me and asked 'Is that really the president?' I’ve had fun with it and I just didn’t say anything," Baldwin said.
