N.C. man serves as Obama stand-in

GREENSBORO, N.C.

--A Greensboro man has a very good idea of what it's like to be President Barack Obama.

The News & Record of Greensboro reported that U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Serpico D. Elliott was selected to stand in as president this week during the walk-through of Obama's Inauguration Day schedule.

Elliott, whose height and build resemble that of the president, even raised his hand for the swearing-in and waved at an imaginary crowd on the walk down the parade route.
