DENVER -- Will the real Barack Obama please stand up?OK, so Obama says we should all learn Spanish. This Barack Obama (impersonator) is fluent!
Gerardo Passiaux is from Guantánamo, Cuba, and says he is happy to "be" and support the real Obama.
Many thanks to Epichica at AOL Latino's Election blog for grabbing this video.
Here at the DNC convention in Denver, more than one delegate freaked out as they thought they had run in to the senator himself ... but then he started talking in Spanish and the illusion vanished.
But seriously, the Secret Service could use this dude as a stunt double!

First of all! That brother that suppose to resemble Obama, is not Hispanic! He's of African ancestry with some European genes of Spain. There are mnany light-skin African descendants living in the Caribbean, Central & South America, and just like over here in the States. Look at Malcolm, Farrakhan, Colin Powell,
Billie Holiday, Lena Horne, etc.,. and the list goes on. And simply because he may speak Spanish, because he's from Cuba, also does not make him Latino, neither! We, black folks or African descendants, living here in America, we speak English. But that is not our language. And neither is Spanish, French, Portugesse and any other European language.
But yes, he does resemble Obama. And, oh, by the way, I also happen to born in cuba, too, and I resemble Muhammad Ali in his younger days. But that does not make me black, huh? Talk to me!
