Asian American leaders comment on Obama's impact on the Asian American and Pacific Islander community.

"On many occasions, President Obama has said that when he's among the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community, he was among family. To many AAPIs, he is family - he grew up in Hawaii where his Asian American sister and her husband still live and where his family visits often," said Mee Moua, president and executive director of the Asian Americans Advancing Justice.
