- Ponsaran: I share your interest with the politics of the underrepresented. I hope it's not too much to ask your opinion about the prospects of US under Barack Obama.
- Dr. Dorian Warren*: It's too early to speculate, but assuming Sen. Obama wins the election, I think it will create several political opportunities for advancing equality, opportunity and justice in the United States but also in terms of US foreign policy. But a president Obama wouldn't be able to do it by himself; he will need the help of the millions of average citizens to keep active to put pressure on Congress to change American politics.
