Barack Obama Interview

Below is my interview with Senator Barack Obama on Halloween, 4 days before the 2008 election.

The Senator and I discuss his busy schedule, his plan to help young people who have chosen NOT to go to college, and the importance of early voting.

He also has a message for people who are unlikely to vote because they believe that decisions made in Washington, D.C. don't affect their lives. Enjoy!
