Child Asks Obama:"Why Do People Hate You?"
At a a town hall in New Orleans, a child asks President Obama "Why do people hate you?"
Transcript: Okay, here's -- this young man, right here. I'm going to let him use my special mic. Hey, this is a big guy -- don't go "awww." Come on, man, I mean, this is a -- all right, what's your name?
