There were at least two celebrities on the campaign trial in Davenport Wednesday.
NBC News Anchor Brian Williams interviewed President Barack Obama during the campaign stop at the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds. The interview is he first of several that will take place over the course of two days as Williams travels with the President on a 48-hour campaign blitz.
During the interview, Williams asked,"So after the excitement of '08, given the power of incumbency, you'd got Bin Laden, you did not expect to be sitting on a more substantial race than we are as we sit here today?"
"No Brian. I, listen, you guys have some short memories. Folks in your business were writing me off a year ago, saying there's no way I would win. Right? So you know, these things go in ebbs and flows and you know, the one thing I've tried to always be is just steady in terms of what I believe in, who I'm fighting for, and, you know, I think that one of the qualities I bring to bear in this campaign is, people. See what did I say I was gonna do in 2008? And what have I delivered? And they can have some confidence that the things I say, I mean," said President Obama.
Excerpts from the interview in Davenport will air Oct. 24 on NBC Nightly News as well as Thursday, Oct. 25th on Rock Center with Brian Williams.
