Kelly Hu, Barack Obama, and Two Men From Hong Kong

Kelly Hu waits in a mile-long line to see Barack Obama speak, strikes up a conversation with two older gentlemen who came to the United States from Hong Kong in the 1960's. The men compare Obama to JFK, and say they are voting for the first time (although they had been eligible for 30 years) for the sakes of their grandchildren. Eric Byler interviews Kelly while sitting on stage waiting for Obama to appear. Filmed by Amyn Kaderali.

They really embody the spirit of Obama's message. In our Latinos for Obama video there is a similar story about Jose, a Mexican American man. He wasn't involved until he heard Obama's Iowa victory speech. He has voted himself to volunteering for Obama's campaigning speaking about him Spanish and English with such passion and gratitude. Very moving. Check it out. It's on our channel page.

I love it when he says, he's not doing this for himself, he's doing it for his grandchildren!

I liked that, "this year you better pick a side." So true. Just three more days!

You obviously know nothing at all about what goes on in your country. I'd suggest you stop watching slanted leftist news organizations that conveniently leave out facts and details to suit their agenda.

You might want to take a look at the US Constitution while you're at it. It outlines all the powers delegated to the federal gov't, and everything else is reserved to the *States*. Also, it didn't need 1,000 pages to do that.

Bush? The House changed to Dem control in 2006 when their out of control spending began. Obama was in the Senate at that time too (inherited it from himself)

The economy sucks because of the sub-prime mortgage crisis where the gov't (under Barney Frank and Clinton, among others) forced banks to give loans to people for houses they knew couldn't be paid back. It was their intention from the beginning to bail these people out. Youre the one who is dumb as rock. I'm guessing you're Cantonese?

@xiaogoudelaohu

For an Asian you're dumb as a rock. You can't blame Obama for Bush's incompetency. If McCain was elected, this country would be much worse. This country was already in deep shit and poor Obama INHERITED the problems. Know what the hell you're talking about, fool.

[xiaogoudelaohu]

For the sake of their grandchildren? Obama is destroying the economy and the country. The unemployment rate was 5% during Bush's administration, now it's almost 10%. Wow what a great choice they made. As an Asian i think Obama is a racist who played the race card to get himself elected.

[Bruceleekickyrass]

God bless you Mr. president and I feel like you're a modern day Moses who's been chosen by God to lead the people of America. Mr. Obama represent all different kinds of race black, brown, yellow, red and white and a truly leader of the rainbow nations. God bless you and America....Mr. President may you last for 2 terms.
