In his first campaign appearance since Senator Hillary Clinton threw her support behind him on Saturday, Democrat Barack Obama launched a two-week tour under the motto "Change That Works for You."

He began the tour in the southern state of North Carolina, a state that has not voted for the Democratic presidential candidate in 30 years. He sought to draw sharp distinctions between himself and McCain on the economy.

"This is the choice you will face in November." You can vote for John McCain, and see a continuation of Bush economic policies, more tax cuts to the wealthy, more corporate tax breaks, more tax breaks going to companies that are shipping jobs overseas, more mountains of debt, and little to no relief for families that are struggling with the rising cost of everything from health care, to gasoline to a college education. But I don't think that is the future we want."

Later Monday he is heading to Missouri. His campaign says he will also go to the swing states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida.

民主党人巴拉克奥巴马发起了为期两周的以”适合你的改变”为主题的竞选之旅，这是自周六参议员希拉里克林顿决定全力支持他之后奥巴马的首次竞选亮相。

奥巴马的第一次竞选演说在北卡罗来纳州举行。近30年来北卡罗来纳州未在竞选中支持民主党总统候选人。他力图在经济政策上与麦凯恩划明界线。

这是你们将在十一月面临的选择，你可以投约翰麦凯恩一票，既而你会看到这将是布什政府经济政策的延续：更多的税费减免仍归于富人，把工作派向海外的公司将拥有更多的企业退税，还有堆积如山的债务，医疗保健石油价格和教育等等的费用日益上涨，挣扎于此的家庭却得不到喘息之气。我认为这不是我们想要的未来。

奥巴马于周一晚些时侯赶向密苏里州。他的竞选者说他还将前往俄亥俄，宾夕法尼亚和佛罗里达这三大犹疑不决的州。
