Obama's Elkhart, Indiana Town Hall Event

I'm watching this guy right now and he's brilliant. This format is perfect for him, but more importantly, it's a visceral reminder to the Republicans of what's happening in real America. Plus he just got a little dig in there at John McCain with his seven (eight, nine?) houses.

President Obama has left Washington today to appeal directly to main street for the backing of his stimulus plans. He's holding a town hall event in Elkhart, Indiana first. The local paper - The Elkhart Truth - has more information on the event. The full text of Obama's remarks is below.

On Tuesday, Obama will be in Fort Myers, Florida. HuffPost is providing live video streams of the Indiana event.
