I like her because she’s 1) a Korean American who has become deeply involved in the political process, 2) the video was edited by a friend of mine, and 3) she’s pro-Obama, which I am as well.

I thought #1 and #3 were obvious, though. Yes, I am for Obama. I think anyone who knows me or my writings already know that. No grand revelations there.

And the proper spelling of his name is Barack Hussein Obama, with an “e.”

Metro likes her because she is pro Hussain Obama. If she was pro-McCain there would be no story.

However, I also think that the point of this video was not “Hey! Look at this old lady’s incisive political analysis!” the point was “This is America: a woman speaking Korean to discuss who will be the next leader” — an old Korean-American lady analyzing the presidential race in her mother tongue is a symbol of the diverse culture America is becoming, regardless of whether she’s dropping any pearls we haven’t heard from a dozen pundits and tracts before.

This Korean-American, while attempting to sound informed, does not come across as informed. She appears to have taken all of BHO’s talking points and memorized them. She criticizes Sarah Palin as being inexperienced, while never questioning BHO’s complete lack of legislative accomplishments, and total lack of executive experience.

Pretty cool to see a Korean including Americans in 우리.
