September 19, 2008

Senator Obama spoke about his campaign agenda and focused his remarks on the economy and recent turmoil in financial markets. He also criticized opponent, Senator John McCain, and past Republican policies for their part in prior deregulation which permitted banking practices to go unchecked.

Several African-American hecklers chanted and held placards accusing Senator Obama of selling out the black community.

This rally was held by Women for Obama at the University of Miami’s BankUnited Center in Coral Gables.
