Obama speaks in North Carolina

My first impression: it's nice to see him smiling. :-)

I love one point he made, in talking about the general election in the fall and the Republicans: "It's not about what kind of campaign they run. It's about what kind of campaign we run."

He hit a lot of high points, mixing the lofty rhetoric that has drawn so many to support him with reminders of the problems our nation is facing... and our ability to solve them.

And I will tell you this: Barack Obama has his voice back. Yes, we can!

Here's the video.
