Rod Blagojevich: "I'm Blacker Than Obama"

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Rod Blagojevich apologized Monday for saying he's "blacker than Barack Obama," but the disgraced former Illinois governor said he probably won't try to make amends directly to the president. "I'd be happy to but, you know, I don't have the phone number," he told reporters outside his Chicago home.

In the February issue of Esquire magazine, the ousted governor, semi-professional Elvis impersonator and reality TV contestant refers to Obama as "this guy" who was elected based simply on hope, implying that the president isn't genuine... The story hits newsstands on Jan. 19...

"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."
On Monday, Blagojevich said the comment was "stupid, stupid, stupid."

He's right! It was "STUPID! STUPID! STUPID!"

I like them both honestly inspite of human weaknesses. We all have them, but I think I understand what Blagojevich meant.

I know this may sound crazy, but I like Ex-Gov Blagojevich & he make just be "Blacker" than Obama in soul and in heart.

Except one guy is dishonest to the core and the other guy has been scrupulously honest for his whole career.

Now I ask you--which one of these men would you want to marry your daughter?
