Obama is launching into his stump speech.

He’s talked about why he’s running now, referencing what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. called the “fierce urgency of now.”

He’s launched into a laundry list of the challenges the country is including an economy in a recession and the war in Iraq.

“The dream that so many worked for is slowly slipping away,” he said.
