Twenty years ago, a little known state senator from Illinois delivered a 2,297 word speech at the Democratic National Convention speech in Boston.
That 17 minute speech -- which was interrupted by applause 33 times -- made Barack Obama an all American political star. Three months later he was elected to the United States senate in a landslide. And we all know what happened on November 4, 2008.
On Tuesday, August 20, 2024 -- 16 days after he turned 63 -- Barack Obama appeared on stage during Day 2 of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
The former US president and former First Lady Michelle Obama spoke in support for Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee for the November election.
