小喇叭颁奖典礼期间,我和成百上千的社团领袖、商界领袖、教士,还有媒体成员及其他人坐在餐桌前做观众。艾迪·隆主教是当时的嘉宾发言人。他说起巴拉克·奥巴马成为美国总统之前和他的一次私会。一年半以前在新奥尔良的一间房里,隆主教问奥巴马:“你为什么要竞选总统?” During the trumpet awards ceremony, I sat at the table with hundreds of community leaders, business leaders, priests, media members and others. Bishop Eddie Long was the guest speaker at the time. He talked about Barack Obama’s personal union with him before becoming the president of the United States. A year and a half ago in a room in New Orleans, Archbishop asked Obama: “Why do you want to run for president?”
