Barracking for Barack

Devon Quince goes political and sits down with possible future president, Barack Obama.

As the race to run for president hots up, Barack Obama edges closer to becoming the first ever black president of the United States. He's got to get past Hillary Clinton first, which won't be easy, but should he do it not only will it be a huge step forward for African-Americans, for Barack and his supporters, but it'll also make the rest of us feel a bit less racist.

I sat down with the hopeful nominee to ask him what he thinks his chances are and what he'd be like as the most powerful man in the free world.

Devon Quince: Barack Obama, welcome.

Barack Obama: Thank you.

DQ: Firstly, I must ask, is that your real name?

BO: Ha. Yes. Yes, I'm afraid it is.

DQ: Oh. Right…

BO: Sounds a bit funny does it?

DQ: Yes. It sounds like some kind of army initiation…

BO: Well, it is my name…and I'm proud of it.

DQ: Of course. You may not like it…you're certainly embarrassed by it…but you sort of have to be proud of it, in a sad way…

BO: Ahhh, yes.

DQ: After all, it could be President Barack Obama…

BO: That is the goal.

DQ: Do you give yourself much of a chance?

BO: I do, I do. You know…

DQ: First you've got to beat Hillary.

BO: Yes. And she is a wonderful campaigner. But I believe that she does not understand where the members of our party and our country want and need to go in the future.

DQ: That may be, but she and Bill still have that sex factor people love.

BO: I don't know if people love it…

DQ: Well I love it. Old Bill's jut got that dirty old dog thing and Hillary, she's the naughty matron. Whereas…

BO: Oh Devon…you don’t think I'm sexy? Hahaha.

DQ: No. No I don't.

BO: Hahaha, I'm joking…

DQ: Well I'm not. You’re not at all sexy. OK. That's just the truth. In fact, I feel quite awkward around you. Do other people tell you that?

BO: Ahh, no they don't…

DQ: That can't be good for a presidential hopeful, if they smell and people feel awkward around them…

BO: No, people don't say they feel awkward. And what do you mean "smell"?

DQ: You have ahhh, bad breath…and you smell…like old onions and damp laundry. Come on, someone must have told you that?

BO: Ahhh…

DQ: It's bloody strong.

BO: OK. So, are we going to talk about my vision for the country, or just your…observations?

DQ: Ummm. Look, do you mind if we don't? As I say I don't feel very comfortable- I feel like you're just desperate to start picking you nose- maybe you'd be happier if I left?

BO: What? No, I wouldn't…

DQ: OK. Well, I'm going to go…the smell is making me quite light headed. Best of luck Mr. Baracus. Wait! That's what your name sounds like…

BO: What’s that?

DQ: B.A. Barachus…from the A-Team! You should really try and get Mr. T as a running mate, might just get you over the line. Hillary's got Bill, you could have T.

BO: I'll take it…on board.…

DQ: Think about it Biloxi.
