Who is Kai Jackson? He’s a news anchor for Baltimore’s CBS affiliate WJZ-13. Jackson was at the White House Wednesday reporting on the Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens’ visit with President Obama when the gathered crowd at the gate apparently mistook him for the president. At that point, Jackson got a fleeting taste of what it must be like to be Obama.
Here’s Jackson on the scene:

There are a couple of dead giveaways the crowd should have spotted from a distance that would have made it clear that Mr. Jackson was not President Obama: 1) A pole instead of a U.S. Marine is holding the umbrella, and 2) No teleprompters.
