The voice behind the man doesn't matter. They'll see Obama, and they'll hear the words, and that right there will provide them with ammunition to spread their hatred. And this also shows what technology is capable of, and why we need to guard ourselves against the encroaching 'fake news' that will reach new heights.

I think I'll have to rely on the NYT and NPR. But how will they be able to verify?

I did hear that this was another voice, but I understand that voice software is getting better and better.

Close imitation but Obama is a bit more looser and relaxed.

Many people would be fooled by it. I know if they never showed the actor, I wouldn't have known the difference.
