Michael Lamar, a software analyst laid off by JP Morgan Chase in January, has found a new career as a President Obama look-alike. (It's just like Dave!)

Lamar has an agent who specializes in look-alikes and he has already done ads for a Turkish bank and a liquor chain in the Netherlands, CNN reports.

While he might be the most successful internationally, Lamar is certainly not the only Obama mimic out there. Iman Crosson, for one, is a musical favorite. Crosson also puts his stellar vocal impression to work in Newsweek's "The District" satire.

I sure wish Saturday Night Live would get on the all and ditch Fred Armison who plays President Obama! He looks nothing like him and sounds nothing like him.

Iman Crosson is the absolute best Obama impersonator there is, bar none.

Hopefully SNL will look at all the rave reviews Crosson is getting across the net and in countless national newspapers. He seriously needs to Armison. He may be a decent actor - but he does a lousy job portraying President Obama!

SNL, please -- Check Iman Crosson out !!!!
