Ajuma for Obama
October 12, 2008
To all my Korean American brothers and sisters,
Please forward this to your parents, grandparents, their friends and… their enemies too. (If you happen to be an adoptee, sorry for the assumption, but you can still pass it along to older Koreans you know — also, feel free to pass this video by Sarah Silverman to your parents instead).
The video below was made by some friends of mine about why one 1st Generation Korean American woman is voting for Barack Obama. It’s not very new content-wise to those already down with the cause, but if anyone was on the fence, maybe hearing it from someone who comes from their generation will help them decide.
And if you are younger Korean American who needs words of wisdom from an elder. Listen to Annabel’s mother! Thanks!

FROM ANNABEL PARK:
Hi all.
I love this video that Eric, Harry and I just made featuring a great Obama volunteer, my mom. She explains very simply, sincerely and persuasively why she is now a born-again, Obama-loving Democrat.
What a great story! I think this is an important one to get out, have you considered posting this on http://www.dailykos.com as well (I believe you can enter it as a diary)? I think it would reach more people and get a wider play there. Keep up the great work.
either annabel is an adoptee herself… OR she’s got to be one of those thats already heavily involved in the korean adoptee community somehow… cuz NO other regular korean american would even think of including adoptees like that the way its written here…
i origionally skimmed this post too quickly when i commented… nice to feel some sense of acklowedgement from other regular ka’s… prolly cuz i often assume they wont… anyways, nice video that i could easily send off to other korean families i know…
