A familiar-looking man was turning heads at the inauguration, posing for pictures and signing autographs.

But he has a confession to make: His name isn't exactly Barack Obama. It's Louis Ortiz.

Ortiz has worked as a professional impersonator for the past four years. From the moment Obama hit the national spotlight, Ortiz says he knew he had a new full-time job.

While he's excited about four more years of Obama, he's also excited about what this means for him.

"The man is getting re-inaugurated. It's a beautiful day for me, for America, and for him," Ortiz said.

The same goes for his (and Obama's) fans: "'We love you,' [they say], and I just say, 'I just you back!'"
