Barack Obama's Coming Out Party

Many people believe that Barack Obama's ascension to the presidency began at the 2004 DNC where he delivered the keynote address. The keynote address is supposed to express underlying tone and summarize the core message or most important revelation of the convention. Back then Obama was just an Illinois state senator and had never delivered a speech of this magnitude. It was the first time he had even used a teleprompter. It's hard to believe that just four years later he would be accepting the Democratic presidential nominee at Invesco Field in Denver, Colorado.

The first video is a compilation of highlights and the second is the speech in its entirety.
