"The hope of a skinny kid with a funny name who believes that America has a place for him, too." That was Vivek Ramaswamy during the recent Republican presidential candidates debate - on Fox. Oh wait -- no it wasn't -- that wasn't Vivek Ramaswamy at all. Let's try that again. That was Barack Obama, delivering the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention - on C-SPAN. Many observers said Vivek Ramaswamy sounded a lot like Barack Obama when he said during the Fox debate: "Who the heck is this skinny guy with a funny last name." Everyone singled out future president Obama's 2004 keynote speech for the comparison ... but there were other times Barack Obama said he was a skinny kid with a funny name ... and so have other candidates. As you'll hear in the latest episode of C-SPAN's "The Weekly" -- it's a podcast all about skinny kids with funny names who grew up to be politicians.
