Condescending Reporter vs "clueless Obama supporter"? I don't think so...
This YouTube video of a reporter interviewing an Obama supporter is a riot. The reporter's condescending questioning technique makes it clear that he assumes this young kid probably doesn't have a clue what Obama stands for (sound familiar?).

But in the end, its: Young Obama Supporter: 1, Condescending Reporters: 0

EDIT: Or um...perhaps this is the face of one of the clueless creepy cultists we've heard so much about lately...ey?

4. Well, he did a hell of a lot better than I would have.
He knew the issues from all angles. Whereas I suck at thinking on my feet.

10. k&r! Great Video. I am loving how
The reporter sounds like he is convinced the supporter will flounder when asked about specifics. Instead he gets a chain of increasingly illumaniting and informing replies. It's so unlike what's going on here by Clinton's supporters and supporters of my candidate.

Obama should tap Derrick as Press Secretary.
