"HOPE" O'Neal Compton

This clip is from an interview with actor, writer, filmmaker and staunch Yellow Dog Democrat, O'Neal Compton, in his home in South Carolina on Thursday, January 24, 2008.

"Homeboys for Change" is a group of good ole boys who are dead serious about their politics and their pork barbeque—which they have temporarily renamed BarackObamaQue. ONeal and some of his friends in South Carolina founded the volunteer organization because they believe with all their hearts that Barack Obama should be President of the United States. The Homeboys cooked for Obama staff and volunteers almost every night for the two weeks leading up to Obama's Landslide win in that state.

Keep the hope brother - that's what the Obama naysayers don't get - "change" isn't just putting someone else in power - it is about harnessing and engaging our apathetic populace - we've been justifiably apathetic until now - let's harness the power of the people and stand tall!
