  • 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.

He also made claims in the interview that Obama campaign mastermind David Axelrod tapped him as a presidential candidate in 2008 before Obama. This is the guy that apparently tried to sell Obama’s seat, remember. Blago’s next career move? “The Celebrity Apprentice,” where he’ll be able to share haircare tips with The Donald. source
