“I’ve got friends here who have just been lifelong friends, people who have seen me through thick and thin, in tough times and in good times,” said Mr. Obama, who grew up in Hawaii and is on a week-long vacation here that ends Friday.Mr. Obama also touched on some of his usual campaign themes — the war in Iraq, alternative energy, access to health care — and also referred to the struggles many Americans face with housing costs and the ailing economy.
