Friends,

TEXT (I have taken the liberty of putting certain sentences in bold type.)

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Hello, Ohio!

Yes! Hello, Cleveland! (Cheers/applause.)

All right, all right, all right, settle down! Settle down, come on! (Cheers/applause.)

Thank you! Thank you! All right, all right, all right!

Hold up, hold up! Y’all got too riled up. (Laughter.) Man, it is rocking in Cleveland right now! (Cheers/applause.) It is good to be back. (Applause.)

It is great to be with your next governor, Amy Acton! (Applause.) Your next senator, Sherrod Brown! (Applause.)

And by the way, if y’all got seats, feel free to sit down. I’ve got some stuff to say here today. (Applause.)

Let’s face it, I’ve been doing this a long time. Sherrod talks about the first time I came here, did not have a single gray hair, not one. (Laughter.)

And so, I’ve been doing this a long time, and some people might say a little too long. And one of those people is Michelle Obama. (Cheers/applause.) But she gave me a hall pass this weekend.

And when you have been campaigning as long as I have been campaigning, when you’ve worked as many elections as I have, you can tell when an election comes along that just feels a little bit different. (Applause.)
