Barack's Blacker than He Looks

Posted Nov 18th 2008 4:04AM by TMZ Staff

Barack Obama has been keeping a secret from the American public ... and it's right there on top of his head.

BO's Chicago barber Zariff (just one name) says the Prez-elect's head of hair isn't quite as silvery-gray as it might appear in high-def. "When we see it, it looks very silvery and shiny," the scissorhand tells Us. "But of course when you see him in person, it doesn't look like that."

He's not making any assurances about Barack once he does his thing in office.

19. TMZ you have gone too far now. See what you are encouraging - HATE. When everyone was putting their differences aside and coming together for the betterment of each other and the world here you come with such untasteful journalism. Is this what Journalism about? I think not.

No matter what your racist haters think of my black race you all will only be my motivators. So the more you push your negativity on me the harder I will push back and that is ACHIEVING....knowledge, education, power and being successful in life.

21. #5 The reason this country is still a joke is because bush is still the prez. didnt your mom ever teach you in order to be respected you need to respect yourself first. Bush hasnt shown respect for this country for hmmm 8 years. As for all of you McCain lovers who followed him like lost sheep and believed his every word about how bad Obama is ....get over it. Move on and show some support for him..I mean consider McCain he is now sitting with Obama ready to "bridge the gap" between repubs. and dems....McCain tried to convince you Obama was so bad..only because he(mccain) knew he could not win on his own merrit. very lame.

23. I usually have no respect for TMZ at all, but I don't see anything racist about this story. And the Dems need to stop with the racist accusations. These nasty comments are coming from both sides.

And for the person who said things are finally calming down??? You need to get out more. It's a battleground out there and is not going to go away anytime soon. Peaceful dissent and freedom of speech are still written into our constitution. If that changes, we will ALL be silenced. Including TMZ.

27. TMZ can post a comment on POTUS hair, but couldn't post anything positive while he was running for office? Ha what a bunch of idiots over there!!!

28. Rebie, #23. Very nice. Spit out all the hate you want - I said nothing hateful about your Messiah.
He may do a great job...I hope he does...but I'm not drinking the Kool-Aid. He has a lot to prove
to the world, and it IS important to keep an eye on what he does. His affiliations are suspect. As President,
he deserves respect, but guess what - so does Bush! Whether or not you like the guy, he's our leader.
And whether or not you like Obama, he will be our leader. Respect for the Office - the rest is up to him.
