" International and that's thank you for having -- so. Why there. Well I mean it's it's a natural thing that I'm here I was -- the I've been into politics I was telling you."

" It. My Brothers -- Republicans. Actually Democrat. And we've been debate in the house for a minute I think it's a historical time. In history. Even though I don't know follow politics that much was very important. I do now one in this like history in the making so it was very important mind you rock the vote was which some have consequences for days at a food she's. Finally the kids are engaged. And excited. About vote this time around. There really feel like it's cool which is -- that we do fine for years coming from with their little country. And I important it is. So vote and when you don't do that stances there's people that cast the vote making -- going through the ballot. So it's important for every American this. It's very important."

" Yeah people who might take for granted a popular experience that -- do you actually get. This group realized that whether they'd vote Republican or Democrat that he needs to."

" The -- I think it's important because. Right now he's in the situation where it is -- lines it's that it talking about solutions. What it'd be doing in the fugitive like the -- that college that is that is -- Where -- mostly parents get old so that is that kids. Health -- It because what happens is it becomes important to you when he actually starts to -- And I think right now it's it's affecting our school system. -- These United States."

" Isn't it even matters it happened well hey this is this. Big debate I mean I -- and it does that license them agree that it is really about two drugs users of the you didn't but my my my brother's a bull. You know Republicans that would read debated and -- I decided I would be diseases. But we -- it. The OK. There acts of the old. This summer even Republicans yet even though they're Republicans they gonna vote for Obama because they'd be basically leave."

" It's like when when you know there's some you know there's Tom Watson like the blogs and a lot of people as well. You know it's. A lot of great speeches you know past speeches you know we want to see action. But this is like this feeling that you get inside your natural life I was in and around the time when Kennedy but I seen clips you know. And it's like I'm more I'm around in the temple. And I got a chance to meet him at the black caucus a few years ago and is -- something about it. Which it just feels like and who movement within. The new generation assistant to style politics. It just feels like that we really needed changed."

" Simply saying that he's inspiring you need my make. It feels good but that he doesn't have a record actually do anything connected invisible issue experiences at. Play -- you're thinking about."

" Of course it is it definitely plays in my thinking and I think. I was watching Bill Clinton. What Bill Clinton sailed out of the whole quote that I got. Is. And you know I love Bill Clinton is that Obama is smart as a whip and the thing about it is I don't think. Anybody right now we have what has happened in the last eight years I think if we want to talk about experience. In this situation President George Bush and say okay experience. Putting Obama in a position put him in the White House I feel that he will do. Much better job than George Bush has done in the past eight years my feel that he's experienced enough to."

" I think he's not going to face mistakes he has he will face the state we are faced mistakes but I feel that a job of the president you must be ready day one. To go against anything and be ready for everything and I really I'm confident that that he could pull our."

" In terms of experience do you think he has more experience now. And George W. Bush when -- to be pushed. Was a few months before the election eight years ago."

" I think it was two different things I think when George Bush took office I think something happened with the towers I think. We had that terrorist attack that 911. And I think once that happened. I think. Whole the whole image -- Of this country changed and I George Bush had to -- certain way -- if we agree with it or not. In the situation of Iowa when I was against the war in Iraq you know there was no weapons time. Found at the end of the day but I feel that at the end of the day there are some things. That he did do. One of the things that you can't disregard is -- situation with Africa. And Larry in different situations. But as far as the image of the country are coming from someone who travels all over the world constantly. It used to be a time. When we had an image and we was proud to go around the country every country you go to the night away from. Yugo America you know and it was like yeah yeah yeah."

" You know now there you go around the world are low -- is still in front of America. We don't know about that I feel that they had. Plays a very important role which is that image I feel that the image. You country's very important and I think we always trying to understand now is very important that the person. Was our president that's representing us. Is represent us in that. It's important that we are light around the world I think is very important that people feel like you know they could talk this is important that people feel like. You know we got here so we'll be. The rest of the world I think that is very important and I think that's where Barack Obama went."

" Is there anything tonight as it is anything it says you're our man I mean."

" You know it's it's at the end of the day."

" I have to be. A 100% honest. At the end of the day I mean was very. And there's a lot of my friends including my wife's friends that have served in a militant. It was like Marines. I think anyone who puts these self in this situation. Ladies serve for the country I think that's the greatest duty no one could take that away and inning -- captured. On top but that. It is. This you you can't leave it right here is. Total respect when it comes to that point. You know when he comes John McCain and hands serving for his country what he has done for his country. That is you know we respect that no one has taken. I just feel in this sense of leadership. I feel that old Barack Obama would be much better leader to lead this country. -- that question."

" With what part in music will let me in please help yourself and it sent us."

" I think I was playing."

" Tennis would Venus Williams of the day you wondered about her -- her and it hurt by her tennis. I was like."

" We had to -- is lose the -- Connie class and I was teaching and guitars. And guitar. And so David -- she's going to teach me tennis and it's sort of like you know when I'm teaching guitar it's just like second nature we go out to feel. You know and -- teach him to serve as all these drills and she's going -- like I'm supposed to know it. And I'm like okay so. Basically how old were you when you started this I think just starting it at a very young -- being passionate or -- being. And wanted it to be more aren't like I've never came because I was like oh. I mean money doing this you know I came into it because I'm relieved when I came from from Haiti -- from. The poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. I just want people understand it there was another image of that country so ever since the kid I always wanted that. So I I make sure that everything that I do I try to get that this. But I'm not that senate where there. That there."

" I have -- haven't he had music we need to."

" Well what went. When I went into music. There was a lot of debate in the house of movement that was a minister and he wanted us to look at the college's school. When it looking from the act in -- that there. And I went to small colleges -- five -- continent. Because I loved -- the ambient music to study music so I figured if if became famous. I would've been like a real good teacher so I think it's really important that I do go back to school might want to go back. And and I want to. Complete. Get my degree from music theory because I really and enjoy. The -- music. And who knows me -- that constant university in confidence in me. Teaching -- class or music here."

" I'd love that I love that pay any any strange music whatever thank -- strange music and your iPod what's it. What's this really must be would be surprised we mustn't."

" I mean not my my. In high school we was raised. My teacher was classical music. So you know he's always right about now is -- is. Lights I think the strangest thing. -- is somewhat on my iPod which is privately natural that he. Would probably be Johnny Cash. A song called Delia."

" That is must -- Amy thank -- question that someone will be -- seat watching all right."
