23 d Have a feeling it's actually Obi WAN but can't parse, no more I can Obi Man.

obama (one in role of a. replace the A with an I).
nation's leader = N.

Of course! (slaps forehead in annoyance)

Struggling with last one.
26 d Fool, foolishly hoaxed (6)

I have e?h?a? so it looks like an anagram of hoaxed but I can't for the life of me see it. Help appreciated.

Diane - your "e" is wrong; it is an anagram of hoaxed - I didn't know this term but it is in several dictionaries that I've looked at.

Diane - just looked at crossword again. I can see where you got your "e" from. You have the right President - but "no hesitation" means you have to remove something from his name and then "getting on" tells you to add something. Definition is "box."

Thanks rh142. I've never heard of this definition Got it with your input.
