One day a few weeks ago, attorney and political activist Frank Avila was sifting through some papers when he discovered an old VHS cassette.
“It’s amazing to think that in just five years he would be president,” says Avila, a local Democratic maverick.
“Who is Barack Obama?” Avila asks at the beginning of the interview.
Ironically, at that moment he was fighting like hell to get out of the toxic political swamp of Chicago and move on to Washington. Not that I blame him.
Of course, there’s a chance that President Obama’s guys at the National Security Agency are reading my e-mails at this very moment.
Good comeback, Frank!
