Approximately eight hours ago, 45 years to the day Martin Luther King made his famous “I have a dream” speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC, Barack Obama made his acceptance speech as the Democratic candidate for the 2008 Presidential election at Mile High Stadium, Denver, Colorado.
Below is Barack Obama’s speech taken from his Youtube channel:
Obama’s speech was very well-written and delivered being stronger on his policies and aims and more aggressive in opposition to McCain than previous speeches, and making some great claims and one-liners in doing so. At the same time, it was passionate and drew on his life, family and experiences have enabled him to be the man he is and where he is today as the Democratic party candidate for US President.
It appears to have been well received and hopefully will help him get over the line come election time. It’s time for a change in America and hopefully they’ll vote in Obama to receive that change.
