Nine year old Brandon is passionate about wanting Barack Obama to be re-elected. While covering the ‘Grassroots Event with First Lady Michelle Obama” in Daytona Beach, FL today (Nov 1, 2012) we asked Brandon (and his father) if he would tell us on video what he was telling his Dad. Brandon told us he wanted Barack Obama to win because if he didn’t “we will go back to picking crops.“
