Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama campaigned in South Florida Friday for the first time in three months amid what he called "the most serious financial crisis in generations," telling a crowd dominated by women that his Republican rival failed to understand their struggles.
Speaking to a nearly packed house of 8,000 people at the University of Miami's BankUnited Center, Obama poked fun at McCain for speaking positively about the "fundamentals" of the economy and proposing a new financial regulatory agency for financial institutions.
