(Copied from CNN web page; will drop on request from CNN)Actually, no. As the son of an immigrant father and a native-born mother who is running for president, he is obviously channelling this guy:

But why is Mr. Obama taking a cue from Mahmoud Ahmadinjad of all people? The obvious answer: he's trying to dress successfully. Remember, Mr. Ahmadinejad scored a come-from-behind, upset victory in the Iranian presidential election. That is why he's doing it, or his middle name is Hussein; as Fox News will be quick to remind you.
So there you go. Who knows, in 2009, the world may have to deal with an Axis of Male Presidential Slobs. And they will all have nuclear weapons. Ségolène Royal or Hillary Clinton can do something about the first problem. Maybe Israel's popular Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni will take over from the embattled Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, and take care of the second one.
Question of the day: Why doesn't Mr. Ahmadinejad wear a tie?

And neither do these three fine gentlemen either.
