Want to talk to a presidential candidate? Go back into time and be 5 again.

Apparently, Obama has a thing for 5-year-olds. No, not in that way fools.

At first the campaign denied questions from reporters to Obama while he was in Durham, North Carolina. Then Hadassah Jones, 5, showed some tears and the presidential candidate decided to let her interview him.

Jones is one of the youngest correspondents probably ever. Working for brandnewz.com, the 5-year-old was the only reporter that Obama would talk to. Tears can go a long way my friends. Also, being under 4 feet tall can help.

In the interview, Obama mentioned his goals of providing health insurance to everyone and improving schools. He explained his beliefs to the first grader by saying, ""We've got to make sure that people who have more money help the people who have less money. If you had a whole pizza, and your friend had no pizza, would you give him a slice?"

Note to self: If I ever want to be a successful reporter, shrink a few feet, start weeping, and ask simple questions that a 5-year-old could understand.
