Slog - Comments on Obama and Me http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/obama_and_me On 16th Street Mall, I run into... ...an Obama impersonator. His real name is Gerardo Puisseaux, he originally comes from Cuba, he loves himself because he loves the man he looks like. [Gerardo] was a construction worker in Miami until about six weeks ago, when he hooked up with online Spanish-language news channel America TeVe (www.americateve.com). Since then, he's been going where Obama goes and causing a stir in each location. This Obama speaks with a very thick Spanish accent....

Anyone asked themselves HOW someone who is NOT "African American" could look like Obama?

Because Obama is not all black?
I just really wish we could refer to Obama as mixed ethnicity. Didn't his ASIAN sister just speak?

Whether or not you are from a Spanish speaking country yourself (I'm not) I feel like I can assert that:

-while living in Costa Rica for 5+ years I've learned that many here have a distinct Costa Rican accent
-while living in Argentina for 2 years I learned that they had a strong Argentinian accent (and I was ridiculed for the bits of it that I picked up when I went back to Costa Rica)
-while visiting Chile I learned that I couldn't understand their Chilean accent
-while visiting Mexico I learned that there a bajillion different Mexican accents...

Ok horse dead and well-beaten.
