In the comments people are saying he should go on the Daily Show, and Jon Stewart should introduce him that way.
Also, bonus points if he actually wears the outfit.

Uhm. Doesn't Obama have family in Hawaii?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Nothing says unamerican like visiting your grandmother.
He needs to vacation someplace with real down home values that celebrates the hardworking people who have made this country great, he needs to vacation in swing state located Branson.

The uncanny valley just got uncannier. Or vallier. [link]
Take a trip with us down into uncanny valley, where animated human faces look almost real. Studio Pendulum's AlterEgo division pasted tiny sensors on actors’ faces and ran that data through their latest facial performance software, and this is the result. They’ve certainly come a long way since Disney-owned ImageMovers created Polar Express.
This is the closest yet to the real thing, but it’s still not exact enough to get beyond the creepy zone. Our familiarity with the human face is just too precise for animated artistry to be completely convincing thus far. Can’t wait to see what the next generation of animation will bring. Two or three more revs and on-screen human actors will be rendered obsolete.
The woman's skin looks too... plastic? She's the least realistic, IMO.
The human brain has a large chunk devoted to reading the faces of other humans, so it's no wonder that animating a realistic human face is so difficult.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
