"my dad is a pediatrician"

"oh... damn."


bac - 2008-04-13

HA!


DerangedGoblin - 2008-04-12

Color me impressed!


baleen - 2008-04-13


ok that made me laugh and also you are going to hell.


themilkshark - 2008-04-12

I like to know we have a couple smart people running around this retarded country.


dr_rock - 2008-04-12

5 stars for Derrick, showing the world that Philly isn't 100% retarded.


dr_rock - 2008-04-12

Ok, not from Philly, and apparently he's rather accomplished.

and he was in Amistad: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118607/

So, this reporter is from the "pundit let's interrupt the subject's every other word" school. That's irritating.


Enjoy - 2008-04-12

Excellent retort to this "reporter."


Valkor - 2008-04-12

This is brilliant. Absolutely staged but in such a way as to satire public perception while still carrying the necessary message. I like layered entertainment.


Aelric - 2008-04-12

i call fake alot, but i think this one is real simply because i've seen this conversation happen many times lately, minus the camera.


Unsung - 2008-04-12

"How will they socialize it?"

GASP! He used the dreaded "S" word!!


waxeater - 2008-04-12

This interviewer needs a serious punching. -2 for not punching him.


Blackbetta - 2008-04-12

Plus two stars for not punching the arrogant old-assed reporter. The last thing we need is neocons reposting this with, "Angry negro for Obama throws punches."


afp3683 - 2008-05-06

that would generate more votes among the "angry young black man" crowd.


grimcity - 2008-04-12

Damn, that young man was on point. I'd love to see him make Hannity explode... I like to think I'm good on my feet in debates like that, but that guy can roll with it. Super good flick.


Camonk - 2008-04-12

Health insurance, alas, is where I break with the big O. Let's get some socialization in this bitch.


Aoi - 2008-04-13

First you get the Universal.
Then you get the Socialized.
Then you get the OBGYNs practicing their love with women.


heyitslozeau - 2008-10-15

no! socialized medicine means....uh socialism which is the same as communism....which is the same as the soviet union....so well all be waiting in line for potatoes soon.


Hooper_X - 2008-04-12

What an articulate young man.

(seriously? i'd almost accuse that of being a work - the interviewer asks the exact questions that your average arrogant talk-radio pundit does, and our hero shoots them down in a reasoned and classy manner. i desperately want this to be real, but the interviewer isn't enough of an indignant prick at the end.)


bac - 2008-04-13

damn it's so perfect. which makes me think its fake.

what makes me think it's real though is when the reporter is asking a question derrick (and even it is fake he's fire) is looking
off in the distance and you can see he's formulating a response as opposed to just being ready with one.


Rodents of Unusual Size - 2008-04-13

This was uplifting.


gorch - 2008-04-14

Grace under pressure. That was beautiful.

Caminante Nocturno - 2008-05-11

I'm not really sure how to react to an interview like this. Hell, even the reporter stopped trying to be a reporter towards the end.


DopeFiend - 2008-06-08

So fake. I like what he has to say, though.


IrishWhiskey - 2009-01-24

I don't know. Its almost too good to be true, but there's nothing implausible in the video, and the Economist seems to think its valid.


j lzrd / swift idiot - 2008-06-12

Fake, real, photoshopped, I couldn't give two tugs of a dead dog's cock. THIS IS WHAT REPORTERS REALLY THINK.


Alektorophobic - 2008-06-27

I personally think it's real, and it makes my heart ache a bit. This guy has clearly found a candidate who inspires him, and he cares enough to actually know and understand all these questions being thrown at him and has the answers for them. I wish I wasn't so disillusioned with politics in general that I could be not just "pro-Obama", but care enough to learn everything that he's about, and what it means for me and the country.


Umaro - 2008-11-05

Perfect.


lordpotato - 2008-11-29

This guy makes me ashamed I'm not this politically savvy and still voting.


joelkazoo - 2009-02-03

Hell Yeah!


ogmisce - 2010-04-15

five stars for teaching me more about obama in five minutes than i knew when i voted for him, also for doing what the description says
