Highlights of the night:
Speaker of The United States House of Rep. Nancy Pelosi opened up the night with a speech.
Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy Held it down! I was very surprised to see him addressing the convention for the simple fact he's battling an illness. Then again, Ted's a warrior and nothing's going to hold him back from showing his support for our future president.
The Keynote speech was delivered by Barack' wife Michelle Obama. Her speech was very genuine and moving. She spoke about the issues she dealt with growing up in the south side of chicago, being raised in a 1 bedroom apartment and later graduating from Harvard. She also spoke on what a great leader her husband would be and shared the dreams and aspirations her and her husband have for the future of this country.
My Final Thought: Day 1
With all the distractions surrounding the Democratic party I feel like they did a great job on their opening night. So many talks about the unity of the party, the Republicans trying to have a field day on what they thought about Obama's Vice President choice and all the hecklers who stood outside trying to protest really didn't do much to hurt the outcome. Bottom line, Michelle Obama's speech tonight was excellent! She showed a genuine side of her and her family that we can all relate to. Her story of being raised in a 1 bedroom apartment and later graduating Harvard is an inspirational story to all people. Especially all of us young people who are less fortunate and deal with the reality of having to work a job and go to school just to get by. Barack and Michelle both are concern with the condition of our political policies and both have made contributions in the past to fix them. It shows a lot about their character when they both graduate from prestigious schools and ditch a job working at a corporate law firm to work in the inner city to establish more jobs and voter registrations. These are the reasons why I want Barack to become president. I've always told myself that I would like to see a president who came from a struggle I've been through. Im tired of having these rich, spoon fed politicians who are shallowed minded and think that people in the lower-middle class are all lazy and no good. We need someone who shared similar struggles like us and know how to establish fundamental change so people like you and I can have a better shot at the american dream.
