FAYETTEVILLE—Kreston Thomas, a student at Fayetteville Technical Community College studying business administration, said it is "amazing" that Barack Obama visited the campus today.
"It's real good to have him here because you don't see (Hillary) Clinton around, or anybody else," Thomas, 28, said.
Thomas listened to the speech outside of the Tony Rand Student Center, where speakers had been set up so the students could listen to the candidate's speech.
He said he never heard Obama's exact policy in regard to Iraq until today, and after hearing it, he supports the Obama.
"It's like everybody's been waiting for that," Thomas said.
