Andres Interviews Senator Barack Obama

ANDRES: Mr. Senator, I think its fair to say that the youth vote

is extremely important in this election.

SEN. OBAMA: I agree.

ANDRES: So Mr. Senator, we the 2 year olds want to know where you stand on Thomas the Tank Engine (clearly miffed that no one had asked Sen. Obama this important question).

SEN. OBAMA: (pauses) Andres, first I am for Thomas and as you and your friends know, Thomas plays an important role in encouraging imagination and learning.

ANDRES: Pst, I think Sir Topham Hat would make an excellent Secretary of Transportation!

SEN. OBAMA: Whispers response in Andres' ear...Andres seems pleased with Obama's answer. Andres wishes Obama luck and walks him out to his next interview.

Andres has included a full clip from the exchange.
