Quote
"I had worked in politics and government, but in 2000 I decided to go into teaching. So I was teaching government to high school seniors. I'll never forget that moment when Sen. Obama had just come around on his book tour and there was a lot of excitement about him and all my students came in and wanted to talk about him and wanted to learn more about him. At that point, as a teacher, I saw interest and optimism that I hadn't seen in the past in my students. Young people are cynics, so I was pretty happy that they were getting excited about a presidential candidate."—Jackie NorrisIowa Independent: Obama campaign a 'labor of love,' Jackie Norris says (November 21, 2008)-
