I'm Blacker than Barack Obama!

I'm blacker than Barack Obama. Not me. I refering to comments made by former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. Blagojevich, who's been indicted for allegedly attempting to auction off Obama's senate seat, now occupies his time as an Elvis impersonator while waiting for trial. Defending himself  in his interview with Esquire Magazine, Blagojevich stated n reference to Obama, "This guy, he was catapulted in on hope and change, what we hope the guy is. What the fuck? Everything he's saying's on the teleprompter. I'm blacker than Barack Obama. I shined shoes. I grew up in a five-room apartment. My father had a little laundromat in a black community not far from where we lived. I saw it all growing up."

Is this dude serious? Wow. So apparently shinINg shoes and owning a laundromat in a predominantly black neighborhood makes you black (or in this case, blacker than Obama)? I'm more appalled by his statements than by comments made by ignorant individuals who believe I "talk white." Seriously, what an idiot. Go back to impersonating Elvis.
