    Peddling hope out of the trunk of his car

    Clifford Dodd remembers the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated like it was yesterday. Dodd had never been moved to tears over a political figure since — until he heard Sen. Barack Obama speak. Now he makes the trip from St. Cloud to the Midway area of St. Paul to peddle his original Obama for President T-shirts and other paraphernalia several days a week. MinnPost caught up with him on a hot August afternoon to speak with him about his small business, which he operates out of the trunk of his car on University Avenue.
