Years before he became president, many Americans first met Barack Obama during the 2004 Democratic National Convention.

    After that speech I felt like an American, and I’m Australian.

    Who’s watching this in 2024 to remind themselves what a real President was like?

    In 2004, Barack Obama wasn't introduced to the nation, the nation was introduced to Barack Obama.
  • @FredeeG90
    To think this during this speech he wasn't even running for president. That crowd sounded like they wanted him to be president then and there.

    I'm not even an American and this sent chills down my spine

    The Democrats knew they had 8 years in the White House in their pocket after this speech. It was just a matter of how soon he would run. Sometimes I forget that he wasn't even running for President when he made this speech.

    I'm finishing Michelle's book on my small apartment balconey in Nairobi and it's so hard not to dream....

    Who’s watching this in 2020 to remind themselves what a real President was like?

    Its 2023 and I keep coming back here to watch this speech and being inspired. This man is one in a billion. I am not even American and I feel he impacted the world positively.
  • "The hope of a skinny kid with a funny name who believes that America has a place for him too" I'm not even an American but I know that they miss you .❤️😭

    Jesus, this is the first time i've seen this and it is incredible. I wonder how many people in the room were watching this man and thinking "That right there is our next President."

    You know how much you miss someone when you turn back the clock 14 years

    One of the speeches I often listen to, as an inspiration. I'm not even American, but a Burmese guy who is trying to make things right in Myanmar. This just gives me chills everytime I watch it. If I'm feeling down, I would even recite this speech to reinvigorate my energy.

    A real president speaking from his heart and also someone that writes his own speech. We forgot that a US leader MUST have those skills, not like the orange clown we have in office.
  • @joshuac6389
    I listen to this man speak and I hear no divisiveness. I hear no identity politics. I hear a man, a faithful man, a presidential man, speaking to people to dream big. I love it!
  • “Must’ve been a good speech.” Yes Michelle it was. You made me stop reading Becoming and listen to it.

    Who's watching when Biden is at 238 and Trump is at 213?
  • This man is going to be remembered as the pinnacle of America’s diversity inclusiveness. The sheer energy and downright honesty that he has is just remarkable.
