Michelle Obama DOES have gorilla-like features. There's an actor (can't figure his name out for the life of me) who resembles a baboon. He's of Italian heritage.
Are you talking about Ron Pearlman, of Hellboy, Beauty and the Beast, Quest for Fire, fame?
As for GW looking like a chimp, no way. His biggest handicap is that he's a Buggerin' Bush.
And as for Michelle O, if she resembles any ape, it would be a Gibbon.
I'm a physical anthropologist, and studying early man, and apes, was my specialty, along with the human skeleton.
I always thought perlman was very primitive looking, but I later learned that only his mandible was more robust than other parts of his cranium. It was just that he was always working with makeup on. Taken in totality he looks very primitive, but taking each point separately he is taxonomically quite modern. The frontal slope of his cranium is very high, and not sloping. The mandibular jaw is quite distinct, with no accompanying alveolar prognathism. No bun shaped occipital either. And no heavy eye orbits. He's cranium is just massive, that's all. But he still looks like a monster.
