Barack Obama Makes History and Dares America To Dream!
“With profound gratitude and great humility, I accept your nomination
for the presidency of the United States."-Democratic Presidential Nominee Barack Obama
Barack Obama made history by accepting the Democratic presidential nomination. He made a lot of promises that I hope he is able to keep. I really do believe he will do his best to fulfill those promises. He blasted President Bush really good and painted a dismal picture of the hardship the country is currently facing.
His speech was a great one! It was electrifying from start to end. I am impressed that so far he is running a clean campaign. He is keeping the race based on the issues and not stooping to slinging mud. The audience of more than 84,000 was excited and very supportive of Obama. I really liked the part of his speech where he asserted that this campaign was not about him, but about the people that work hard to make the country work. He mentioned the historical significance of his speech falling on the 45th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King’s speech on Washington.
This is the first time I’ve watched the DNC from start to finish. It was a great convention. The world is ready for change and Obama seems poised to meet the challenge.
Some great quotes from Barack Obama’s speech:
I get it. I realize that I am not the likeliest candidate for this office. I don’t fit the typical pedigree, and I haven’t spent my career in the halls of Washington. But I stand before you tonight because all across America something is stirring. What the nay-sayers don’t understand is that this election has never been about me. It’s been about you.
Instead, it is that American spirit – that American promise – that pushes us forward even when the path is uncertain; that binds us together in spite of our differences; that makes us fix our eye not on what is seen, but what is unseen, that better place around the bend.
We cannot walk alone. At this moment, in this election, we must pledge once more to march into the future. Let us keep that promise – that American promise – and in the words of Scripture hold firmly, without wavering, to the hope that we confess.

Not Exactly Gospel Music Related……..Barack Obama: America, this is our moment. This is our time.
“Tonight, we mark the end of one historic journey with the beginning of another — a journey that will bring a new and better day to America. Because of you, tonight I can stand here and say that I will be the Democratic nominee for president of the United States of America.”-Barack Obama
Senator Barack Obama has clinched the Democratic presidential nomination! He has made history by being the first African-American to lead a major party ticket. He beat out Sen. Hillary Clinton, who was hoping to become the first female nominee.
Watching his victory speech, I was very aware of the fact that my family and I were witnesses to history. His speech was excellent! I liked when he acknowledged that he was a better candidate for having competed with Hillary Clinton, and that once the battle for universal health care was won her efforts would be central to the victory. In spite of all the bitter words thrown back and forth I’m glad that he has always tried to take the high road.
America, this is our moment. This is our time. Our time to turn the page on the policies of the past. Our time to bring new energy and new ideas to the challenges we face. Our time to offer a new direction for the country we love. The journey will be difficult. The road will be long. I face this challenge with profound humility, and knowledge of my own limitations.
But I also face it with limitless faith in the capacity of the American people. Because if we are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it, then I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth.
This was the moment — this was the time — when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves, and our highest ideals. Thank you, God Bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America.~Victory Speech
