Oh no, he didn’t.
In a shocking new interview, former Illinois governor turned reality TV show wannabe Rod Blagojevich claims he's “blacker” than President Barack Obama.
In an article for the February issue of Esquire magazine, Blagojevich says: "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," Blagojevich said. "I saw it all growing up."

Blagojevich, referring to the president as "this guy," says Obama was elected based simply on hope. "What the (expletive)? Everything he's saying's on the teleprompter.”
The White House is not commenting on his remarks.

The twice-elected Democrat was impeached and removed from office in 2009 after federal prosecutors arrested him on corruption charges that included trying to sell Obama's old U.S. Senate seat. He has pleaded not guilty and is expected to stand trial later this year.
The February issue of Esquire hits newsstands on January 19.

I think he thought too much into this, you are not black unless the color of your skin is,that's it,bottom line.I do however don't understand why Obama is touted as the 1st black president, shouldn't they say the first bi-racial president?idk

Another fine example of TOOOOO much ego and speaking before thinking about what you are saying. Exactly why he is in the trouble today with what has come out of that big mouth.

What the heck is wrong with this man ?

If Blago was as black as he thinks he is, he would know that being black is much more than "shining shoes" and living in a five-room apartment. This is another example of white people thinking they know more about being black than black people.

I'd watch out for your knees, Blago. Chicago-style payback is an ugly business!
