Obama's Doppelganger Has To Be Seen To Be Believed (Video)

America prides itself on being a country where anyone can make anything of their lives. Then there's just sheer, stupidly good dumb luck. Like being the doppelganger of the most powerful man in the world, for example--then you have to decide whether to ride with it, or hide from it. The Audacity of Louis Ortiz is a documentary about Louis Ortiz, who has had the "audacity" to capitalize on the weird (Joker) card life dealt him. The most ironic thing is, as a guy with no job, multiple sclerosis, and no health insurance, "Louis is the guy politicians are always talking about." Damn. The documentary is seeking funding on Kickstarter, find out more right here.

Louis Ortiz didn’t own a suit before all this happened. He didn’t have a job. He didn’t have much hope. Then one day he looked in the mirror and saw the most powerful man on the planet. The next thing he knew, he was being flown around the world to make appearances as President Barack Obama. He soon found out it was both a blessing and a curse - looking like one of the most monumental figures in recent history also made him a lightning rod for people’s pent up feelings. The Audacity of Louis Ortiz is a feature length documentary that will follow phone-technician-turned-presidential-impersonator Louis Ortiz through the 2012 election.
