Online message boards have been abuzz with what would be the best kept secret of the Obama presidency, a supposed cameo appearance in the 1990's era rap video "Whoomp (There It Is).

Whoomp, there he is! Or is he?

Conspiracy theorists suspect that a left-handed, dominoes-playing dude who appears in the music video for Tag Team's single "Whoomp (There It Is)" is none other than President Obama.

The Obama look-alike makes a cameo about a minute into the video, sporting shades, flashy rings and a Zack Morris cell phone.

Online message boards have been abuzz with what would be the best kept secret of the Obama presidency.

Their argument: The guy flashing a smile in the 1993 music video looks a lot like the president, who would have been about 31 at the time.

The online publication Gawker also weighed the evidence and points out -- Obama is a known fan of hip-hop, and he's left-handed, just like the man in the video.

But on the flip side, the future president was a busy guy in the early 1990s. Obama was teaching law at the University of Chicago and working on his first book. His schedule might not have allowed for such frivolous pursuits.
