If so, he just made me like Obama even more.
"In this video, not previously available online but licensed by BuzzFeed from a Boston television station, the future president speaks at a 1990 campus protest organized to demand tenure for minority and female law professors."

Why haven't we heard about this before?

(59,504 posts)Obama 2012. What it shows is that is how he spoke - long before he was a high level politician. It is who he is.
So, maybe the rightwing attack could be that, unlike Romney, Obama is completely consistent with his 1990 self!
Seriously, it was surprising hearing a voice that was unmistakably Obama - and then seeing that very young Obama. I think the RW deserves our thanks for finding something that verifies that Obama is who he says he is.

(12,041 posts)The man has a remarkable biography, I think nearly every American would be impressed with Bell's accomplishments. It was pure racism that drove the Republicans to think attacking Bell would be effective, but Bell was a truly accomplished person and I am sure Obama is proud of this video.
