From Obama Campaign:

This past week, Obama for America announced that Oprah Winfrey will join Senator Obama at events in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina.

AN UPDATE FROM IOWA

Obama Holds Health Care Roundtable

On Sunday in Des Moines, Senator Obama joined a doctor, a health care clinic director, a teacher, a student, a welder, and a hairdresser for a roundtable discussion on health care. Obama stressed that there is only one way to build a universal health care system in America -- by electing a president who can bring Democrats and Republicans together and stand up to the special interests by creating an open, transparent reform process. Obama described his own proposal and listened as the six Iowans discussed their personal experiences dealing with our nation's health care system.


AN UPDATE FROM SOUTH CAROLINA

Michelle Obama Brings Vision of Possibility to the Palmetto State

On Tuesday, Michelle Obama addressed several hundred people in Orangeburg and Columbia about the sense of possibility and hope that her husband brings to America. At South Carolina State University in Orangeburg, she asked the audience to have faith in themselves and the country. "I'm asking you to believe in yourselves. I'm asking you to stop settling for the world as it is and to help us make the world as it should be," she said. She also visited a beauty salon in Orangeburg as part of the campaign's barbershop and beauty salon outreach program.

The Obama Foreign Policy: The Judgment to Lead

Senator Obama concluded his three-day trip to New Hampshire with a foreign policy forum in Portsmouth. Joined by several of his top foreign policy advisers, Obama continued his open dialogue with New Hampshire voters about his plans to renew American diplomacy and turn the page on the conventional Washington thinking. Senator Obama and his advisers discussed the need for a transparent process to unite America behind a fundamentally different foreign policy, as well as specific plans to end the war in Iraq, renew American leadership in the world, pursue aggressive diplomacy with Iran, fight terror, reduce the threat of nuclear weapons, and invest in a 21st century military. Panelists included New Hampshire resident Admiral John Hutson (USN Ret.), Richard Danzig, Tony Lake, Samantha Power, and Susan Rice.


AN UPDATE FROM NEVADA

Campaign Presence Expands Across Nevada

On Saturday, the Nevada campaign celebrated our growing presence in southern Nevada with the Grand Opening of the Pahrump Headquarters -- our 7th office in the state. This week the campaign will continue the critical work of reaching out to rural communities by holding an event in Mesquite with Congressman Adam Smith (D-WA). Representative Smith will speak with supporters and undecided caucus-goers about the reasons why he believes that Senator Obama is the best candidate to bring real change to Washington and address the issues that affect rural communities.
