KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Calling for an end to the war, democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama spoke in Kansas City Saturday afternoon. In his first campaign visit here, Obama spoke to a crowd of more than 1,500 people at the Downtown Marriott, hitting hard on the war, health insurance and the president.
In a packed auditorium, sweltering with body heat, Obama greeted the crowd.
"How's it going, Kansas City," the presidential hopeful said speaking over applause and cheers.
He warmed up the crowd playing up his roots as a Harvard grad, turned civil rights attorney, and his life long battle with name recognition.
"They'd mispronounce it, the would call me Alabama, or they'd call me yo momma," Obama quipped.
"The day that this president steps down, the entire world will breath a sigh of relief," said attacking President Bush.
