Reddit user badcompanygg shared his find and people were quick to compare the two men, some even saying that Mr. Widodo looks more like Barack Obama than Obama himself.

    Fascinated by music, movies and sitcoms, I'm passionate about social media and can't live without the internet, especially for all the cute dog and cat pictures out there. I wish the day had about 40 hours to be able to do everything I want.

    Since Obama is 1/2 white you might say this dude looks like a White Indo. Obama: raised by his white family. That never gets much play for some reason.

    When your president use vans, denim jacket made by indonesian artist, and handmade chopper from local garage. This surely the coolest president in the history of Indonesia.

    Am I the only one who finds phrases like 'and the Internet lost it' irritating? Hyperbole of this nature puts me off. I was interested in the article regardless of whether or not the collective people on the internet 'lost it'. It's such rubbish.

    Should be noted that Joko Widodo is presiding over a brutal and bloody genocide of indigenous Papuans.

    Apanya yang mirip? Bagian mana? Mata? Hidung? Telinga? Mulut? Our president doesn't look exactly like Mr. Obama. Their smiles look very nice, I guess?

    NOW???? It's being noticed?? Where the heck have people been all this time? This was a common knowledge back when O was in office- You think no one noticed that Barrack's step-dad was from Indonesia? Quite a resemblance and an interesting - coincidence -
