How it works
Dkos diarist David Kroning is sharing his 89-year-old grandfather with all of us. Someone on dkos made a button for him and sent it to David. His grandfather responded with a thank you letter that just touches the heart. As a person who worked in Montana in the Conservation Corps, he said that Obama speaks with FDR's voice and that he thinks of him as FDR with a tan. He also encouraged his grandson with this:
When things get rough in America we always work together, all the people--the white ones and the black ones and young ones and the old ones...it's the only way it works
Here's more proof of Obama's appeal to the over-70 crowd. This video is of another senior citizen, this time a 95-year-old woman who has registered to vote for the very first time.
