Obama Gets a Gift

An elderly African-American man presented Obama, the first African-American to
secure the nomination of a major party, with a gift. Charles Edwards, who told
Obama he was 95 years old, gave Obama a long maple walking stick.WATCH
Obama's reaction to the gift.
"It's beautiful," Obama told Edwards. "And, if members of Congress don't pass my health care bill, I'm ready," Obama said wielding the stick as supporters laughed and cheered.
"I'll whup 'em," he joked. "They better not mess with me. I'll have that stick."
