Jay, a precinct captain in Ames 22, is drawn to Barack because he takes courageous positions such as going to Florida and announcing the need for a new trade policy with Cuba, going to Detroit, Michigan and speaking about the need for greater fuel efficiency standards, and above all, speaking out against going to war in Iraq when it was politically unpopular. Jay says that Barack’s ability to speak truth to power inspires him because "he has a willingness to make difficult decisions on behalf of the greater good."
