Here is the complete video of Barack Obama's acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention. The speech was given on the 45th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech in Washington, D. C. Although Barack Obama delivered his speech at the Mile High stadium in Denver to over 80,000 supporters, the moment was equally historic. As one young Obama supporter put it, "Barack Obama is my personal Jesus."
Aside from putting the entire stadium and all the viewers at home on Cloud 9, the speech secured Barack Obama's place in history as the first black American to receive the presidential nomination of a major political party (before him, Frederick Douglas received one vote from the Republican party when he ran for president) as well as a place as one of the United States' greatest orators.
In the words of a young college student after watching the speech, her voice cracking with emotion, "That was beautiful!!! How could you vote for anyone else?" In my own words, "No one can rock as much as Barack."
Enjoy the speech.
