Obama's Big Endorsement

By Kid Reporter Kayla Gough

As gray clouds threatened a downpour, students from Wayne County Community College (WCCC) sat down in a campus courtyard with Senator Barack Obama on Monday. They gathered to talk about the high cost of a college education and what the Democratic presidential hopeful thinks he can do to help.

This casual get-together was a big contrast from the Obama rallies in Flint and Detroit, Michigan. Thousands of people packed the Joe Louis Arena in downtown Detroit on Tuesday to hear former Vice President Al Gore announce his endorsement of Obama for President.

Scholastic News asked Obama if there were any possibility of including Gore as a vice-presidential running mate.
