Obama fun in the Pacific Northwest

[WA98296]

From the Oregonian:


Craig Robinson participated in his first campaign event for brother-in-law Barack Obama since becoming Oregon State's basketball coach — a three-on-three "Hoops for Change" event designed to boost voter registration.
...

Robinson is the older brother of Obama's wife, Michelle. The Democratic presidential contender is a basketball fan who played on Hawaii's state championship team in 1979 and plays pickup games on the campaign trail.

...

"People older than me have said they haven't seen anything like this since Kennedy," Robinson said. "I've seen younger Americans getting involved in politics for the very first time. And I have seen older Americans who felt disenfranchised coming back to get involved."
