Senator Barack Obama is campaigning in Georgia for the first time since becoming the presumptive Democratic nominee for President.

He focused on the economy during a town hall meeting at a high school in the town of Powder Springs, outside Atlanta.

The Senator said he wants to help struggling middle class Americans.

"Meanwhile, the cost of everything from a gallon of milk to a gallon of gas, has skyrocketed," said Obama.

"College tuition, going up. Health care costs, going up. I've met Americans all across this country who are facing financial hardship."

The event comes a day after he attended two fundraisers in Atlanta to help finance his campaign against the presumptive Republican nominee, Senator John McCain.
