ATLANTA -- Just hours after raising big money in metro Atlanta, presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill, was greeting by a standing room only crowd at a Cobb County town hall.

"It's good to be in Georgia," Obama said as he launched into a town hall meeting in Powder Springs Tuesday morning. Obama is focused on the economy, discussing how many Americans are facing the middle class squeeze that is pushing many families deeper into debt.

Hundreds of people crowded into McEachern High School, some arriving before daylight to secure seat.

All the tickets for the free event were snapped up in less than two hours last week.

On Monday night there were two big ticket fund-raising events for Obama.

Supporters paid $2,300 to meet Obama at 103 West in Buckhead. It cost $10,000 to get up close and personal with the candidate at the home of supporter Michael Coles.

"I think he can pull it out here in Georgia," said Martin Luther King III at the first event.
