Great Obama Town Hall Moment

In case you didn't see this, it is from a Florida town hall meeting that occured yesterday, I think. The young man who asks the question has so much verve, so much spunk and personality and fearlessness that it really moves me. I also think it's amazing how moments like these create their own real opportunities. Apparently, within hours after this was released, this 19 year old, a college student in communications who has been working at McDonald's for 4 years, got a job offer to be the announcer for a local sports radio station for a day. Pretty cool.

i watched part of that meeting the other day and i saw the part where a homeless woman, who was living in her car with her family, asked him for help. it was really incredible. he didn't say much to her, he gave her a hug, asked her name, and said that his people would get in touch with her or something. it really seemed the the climax of a movie it was crazy.
