Obama's speech

I think the reason why Obama's speech in 2004 was successful is because of his history. Of course his speech was great and so touching, but his family's story about overcoming hardships makes people touched by him. When I saw Obama for the first time, I was touched by only looking at him, because his background is usually same as minor's background in the USA. However he is standing infront of the whole America as the president of America. Just by looking at him, we have hope that we can do what we want to, even if we have a hard time now. This is the American dream which every American has. Therefore what he speeched could influence many people.
