Tim Kaine, the outgoing Democratic governor of Virginia (and current chair of the Democratic National Committee), was on DC’s WTOP FM this morning when a “Barry from DC” called in to the show. Here’s video:
Barry, otherwise known as President Barack Obama, had some “questions about traffic in Northern Virginia,” but mostly focused on praising Kaine.
