Obama's keynote speech at the DNC, 2004

In my opinion, Obama's speech was just amazing. He made it possible to include all types of citizens in his speech: all races, all ages, and all classes. The main elements he used in the speech were the most ancient and famous values of America. The remebered the people of the traditional values like freedom, equal oportunities, ambition and of the almost forgotten American Dream. He demonstrated with himself and his family, as examples, that the American Dream is still alive, and he motivated the peolpe that they should revive this dream in their hearts again. Nonetheless, he also mentioned new difficulties and problems in the American society, and that some changes had to be made in order to provide to everybody the same opportunities to live one's own American Dream. These words from the mouth of an African American politician on that important day showed the people that America had changed, but also that the old well-known values were still in the atmosphere. The Democrats didn't win that election because the people needed a little bit more time to comprehend and to accept this new age of the American society. Finally, the people realized it, and voted for Barack Obama as the 44th President of the U.S. in 2008. It's best described with Obama's slogan: "Change has come to America".
