Forget the thrill of Barack Obama's soaring rhetoric during his town hall meeting in Fort Myers, Florida. The real excitement took place in the stands.
Edison State college student Julio Osegueda stole the show when the president called on him to ask the final question at the event.
Osegueda was giddy about getting the chance to speak saying: "It's such a blessing to see you Mr President, thank you for taking time out of your day. Oh, gracious God, thank you so much."
The McDonald's employee went on to ask the president about worker benefits and told the president he is seeking a degree in communications. Osegueda said he hopes to pursue a career as a broadcaster or DJ.
Obama explained his stimulus plan would bring tax breaks and health care reform for labourers such as Osegueda.
Obama offered words of encouragement for the 19-year-old saying: "The fact that you are working as hard as you are working at a job that know doesn't always pay as well as some other jobs, I think that's a source of pride for you."
