After Anna Prosser's interview with MC, I did a quick sc2ranks search on the handle ObamaToss. It is as I expected: At present, there is only one:

He's a pretty decent master's level Zerg player, I've even managed to take a game off of him in a local LAN tournament, SLOcraft, which he went on to win. (and since which, has improved)

Sample games for you(matches 5,6 of our finals):

No word from him yet on how he's taking the news that MC doesn't feel worthy of the handle, but I'll keep you guys informed

MC interview. To paraphrase,"

Rachel: "What's your favorite nickname?"
MC: "Well, I like Protoss President. In America, Obama President, so... Obama Protoss?"

I have actually practiced a little bit with ObamaToss, as well as competed in the SLO tournaments. When I heard MC mention that nickname I started cracking up!

Sadly it is not an MC smurf, win record is about 50%.

I know, right? That last tournament was rough... there just was no stopping Arsis. (You, me, and Obamatoss had him knock us out of the winner's bracket)
