    As the former U.S. president, I am proud to be a fellow member of this community. Despite evidence pointing to the alternative, I am confident impersonation will not be an issue.

      As a doctor of humanology, I have examined and can confirm this is the real Obama.

      That’s impossible. I know it can’t be the real Obama since he said he only uses Tildes.

      It’s signed all official like so it’s clearly legitimate.
