Derrick Ashong's Powerful EMOTIONAL Response To His Obama Interview (video)

cross-posted to Jack & Jill Politics

Last week, I posted a video of my friend Derrick Ashong getting interviewed about Obama and health care outside the LA debate between Clinton and Obama. That video has blown up, and Derrick has received thousands of comments and other responses.

Today, he explains how he came to be interviewed and offers an extremely powerful emotional explanation of his support for Obama. This complements the intellectual perspective he dropped. Check it out, and share with others.





You can also read Derrick's original explanation of support for Obama here.

You should also find out more about his band, Soulfege.
