Obama and Kumar go to the White House

[maximusveritas]

A bit of a lighter story.

It looks like Kal Penn, an actor from the movie Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle and TV's House, is campaigning for Barack Obama.

Here's an interview he did with TV Guide:

TV Guide: What's your favorite story about hanging with Obama?
Penn: That's easy: his integrity behind-the-scenes. We've all seen Senator Obama when he's spoken to 5,000 people, but what's great is that when CNN and ABC leave the stadium, when all the people get back in their cars and head home, Senator Obama is seriously the same person in the remaining room of five people that he was in the stadium of 5,000. He's the real deal: the funny, smart, experienced, eloquent, and honest guy you see on TV is the same in real life. That integrity is incredible. Who's like that anymore?

While he's not a major star, he is popular among the younger group of voters and he seems committed to helping Obama, so he could help him a little bit.
