Washington Whispers by Paul Bedard

Two More Actors for Barack Obama

Add actors Forest and Keisha Whitaker to the Barack Obama camp. "We're all in," she tells us. Keisha dates her activism to when her dad was a military guard for former President Carter. "I was sort of naturally born a Democrat," she says during a second-anniversary party for Washington's Capitol File. Hubby Forest says he's active this time because of what he's seen overseas. In Canada he felt the slowing economy when the U.S. dollar fell below the Canadian dollar. Then there's the war. "There's an anger about the position we've taken, about our arrogance in the world."
