Sen. Barack Obama talked race relations in Berlin and veteran mental health care in Conway yesterday on the first of a two-day tour across New Hampshire's North Country. The crowds were jubilant, and Obama - traveling with his family - seemed more relaxed and hit many more applause lines than usual.

Last night ended with a chilly ice cream social with about 300 people - some of them wearing fleece, few of them munching on cones - on a town square in Berlin. Today, the Illinois senator and Democratic presidential candidate is planning a morning town hall in Littleton and a midday rally at Dartmouth College.

At one point, Obama invoked President Bush's last day in office.

"I think the world will breathe a sigh of relief. We will be able to stand before the world and say: 'We are back. America is ready to lead,' " he told the crowd of 1,500 at Conway's Kennett High School, where he was greeted with a two-minute ovation. "Now, we want to lead working with you, by example, on dealing with nuclear proliferation. We want to lead in ending the genocide in Darfur. We want to lead with you on dealing with the AIDS crisis and building schools."
