Stevie Wonder Pipes Out For Obama

Last updated on Tuesday, May 6, 2008

(UNDATED) - Barack Obama has wrapped up his Indiana campaign where Hillary Clinton began hers nearly two weeks ago: on the American Legion Mall in Indianapolis.

A crowd of more than 20,000 seemed not to notice the intermittent rain. They cheered a three-song warmup set from Stevie Wonder, including the campaign's theme song of "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" and a new Obama tribute song. They cheered louder when Obama appeared shortly before 10:00pm.

Obama says he's tried since his loss in Pennsylvania two weeks ago to get away from the back-and-forth sniping he's maintained voters are tired of. But he concedes he's sometimes, in his words, "whacked back" when people have taken whacks at him.

And he took a roundhouse punch at Hillary Clinton's vow to use the World Trade Organization to force OPEC to boost oil production.
