Derrick sure makes me proud. The interviewer obviously assumed he had found an Obama supporter full of passion and no substance. I commend Derrick for holding it down, and turning the reporter around.
This is a prime example of what has occurred with the Obama campaign. After seeing and hearing what Obama has to say, people who did not support him initially are now recognizing his potential to make a much-needed change in America. There is always a lot of passion in a race - whether it's a presidential race or horse race - but the people are listening to how Obama addresses issues that are impacting their daily lives.
Not to take away from Sen. Obama, but the state of America is also propelling people to go out and vote. Jobs are going abroad, children dying in a senseless war, and the US economy in shambles.
CHANGE is all we can HOPE for right now.
BTW, I think this young man should run for office.
This just in as. Please forward onto ALL of the Obama support groups as well as the people who you know that are on the fence. Here is the REAL factor of experience.

From: ssp_11_11@yahoo.com Subject: Obama More Experienced Than Hillary
WHAT 35 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE?
The Facts:
Senator Barack Obama
1996-2004 (Illinois State Senator)
2005-2008 (United States Senator)
12 Years of Elected Office Experience (FYI – George W. Bush had 6 years in office before the presidency)
Senator Hillary Clinton
2001-2008 (United States Senator)
7 Years of Elected Office Experience
Barack Obama is more experienced to be President of the United States.
35 – 7 = 28 years of zero elected office experience for Hillary Clinton.
Again, what 35 years of experience is Hillary talking about?
Here are the remaining 28 years –
8 Years (Lawyer)
12 Years (First Lady of Arkansas)
8 Years (First Lady of the U.S.)
28 Years of Zero Elected Office Experience
Since when is 20 years of being a first lady relevant experience for being president?
FINAL ANALYSIS
Senator Barack Obama, Not Only By Virtue Of His Character, Honesty, And Competence, But Also By Virtue Of His Experience, Is Clearly More Qualified To Be President Of The United States.
