Think you bear some resemblance to U.S. President Barack Obama? Well, your likeness can't possibly be as uncanny as this guy's, who had to make a website just to bring an end to all the confusion.

I Look Like Barack Obama is more than a personal website; it's a public service. Chicago-dwelling software engineer Trevor (who asked us to withhold his last name) is informing the public that, hard as it is to believe, he is not the president of the United States.

Okay, so maybe they don't look exactly alike — or at all alike, for that matter. But it's a clever campaign and we're totally going with it.

To address the skeptics that are perhaps less inclined to play along, Trevor used an advanced facial recognition software embedded deep within Microsoft Paint to illuminate the similarities.

Did the hair on your neck just stand up? Sure, there are a couple of differences you might be noticing. As Trevor puts it, "While both of us are half-white, Barack's other half is black, but my other half is also white." On the other hand, the two share 98.5% of the same DNA. Sure, they also share that same DNA with chimpanzees, but that's beside the point.

As we near the presidential elections, the campaigns are gaining momentum on the Internet. Naturally, I Look Like Barack Obama is spiking too. But Trevor actually started the site back in 2004 after he saw Obama speak at the Democratic National Convention.

"I was mesmerized," Trevor told Mashable. "Who was this guy on TV, and why did he look so much like me? I couldn't believe it. It's the same reaction that other people get when they visit my site."

Trevor says 20% of the response to the site can be described as confusion. Emails are either intended for the Prez himself, or from people who are in denial that these two men are, in fact, not the same person.

"People think both of the pictures on the front page are Obama and I'm just messing with them," Trevor said. "They're not! One is actually me, and you'll just have to guess which!"

We understand that it's going to take some getting used to before everyone's comfortable with the fact that there are basically two Barack Obamas out there. If you're looking for harder evidence, Trevor is available to appear as his doppleganger at your bachelorette party, office retreat or Bar Mitzvah. Nothing says mazel tov like a presidential impersonator.
