Obama "Rocks" the Apollo

Comedian Chris Rock introduced Barack Obama at a Thursday fundraiser at the Apollo Theater in New York this week, and got in a few zingers. He told the audience that they they'd be real embarrassed if Obama won and they weren't down with it (in advance). "You'd be like--- 'I can't call him now! I had that white lady-- what was I thinking!" he mocked. He also said that Bush's presidency "was a success-- we all knew he wouldn't do anything, and he didn't let us down."

He slammed Bush once more: "White folks burning in California-- he was out there before the fire went out. Black folks drowning in Katrina-- nothing."
