Last night, President Barack Obama spent the whole hour chatting on Late Night With David Letterman and highlights of the show included one of the audience members giving him a heart-shaped potato and Letterman asking him if his recent criticism was due to racism. His reply?

“I was actually Black before the election.”

Hilarious! Whether you love or hate the president, you have to admit that he’s got a sense of humor.

Is this story true or not?

VERDICT: Epic – totally true! You can watch the hilarious video right here.
