Obama News Skit

Reporter: I’m _________________ here for Team 1 News. I am here in Little Five Points in Atlanta where a recent work of graffiti depicting presidential candidate Barak Obama has been defaced, just hours after completion. I am here to interview some of the local people and find out what they think.

Store Owner: I’m disgusted… I can’t believe that in this day and time and especially here in Little 5 Points, where people are thought to be so open-minded and progressive, that someone could do something this terrible to a work of art.

Con Observer: Quite honestly, I was offended that someone would paint over the picture of Martin Luther King Jr. that was there before. It had been here for years and no one ever touched it.

Outraged Observer: I think it’s sickening… absolutely horrible! I can’t believe that someone could be so ignorant and hateful as to do something like this!

Reporter: I have with me Cameron Wiltshire, One of the artists who painted the Obama graffiti. Why do you think that someone would do this?

Cameron: I think that this person is afraid of change, I think that this person has been taught at some level to hate.

Reporter: What would you say to the person who did this?

Cameron: I would say “I don’t blame you, I forgive you, I love you, you can come and talk to me and I’m not going to raise my fists at you, I’m gonna talk to you and give you a hug, caus’ I know that’s all you need.

Reporter: Again this is _____________________ reporting live from Little Five Points. Good Night
