The Dream Realized

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 Tuesday, January 29, 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.
