Those masks don't even look like Obama. And the one in the middle makes him look like some kind of drag queen.

I saw, quickly and from a distance, the window of B.I. on Fifth Avenue, with one of the Obamannequins in a top hat, and had a moment's horrible imipression that they had decked out their windows with a minstrel show. On closer inspection, the whole effect is very Doctor Who. That would make a great episode for the Doctor, actually: Brooklyn colonized and mind-controlled by charismatic alien politico clones!

(And before anyone gets bent out of shape, I meant SPACE aliens. If you're not conversant with the Whovian oeuvre, this suggestion could, I fear, be misunderstood as non-P.C.)
