I’m far from the most politically informed voter on the planet, but I recognize intelligence and insight when I see it. Check out this video of Obama supporter Derrick Ashong:
There are many things to love about this video; Derrick’s impassioned and informed defense of Obama’s platform, his nuanced understanding of the challenges that Americans would face while trying to implement a universal healthcare plan, are but two examples. But the thing I love most about this video is that it captures a face that is largely invisible in the media: that of a highly educated young black man who is engaged with and excited by the political process.
I have a lump in my throat just thinking about the impact this video could have.
