Watching this speech in July 2004, I remember thinking that this man might be the first black president someday. Little did I imagine it would be only 4 years later!

Go Barack Obama!!!

When I first heard this speech in 2004, I was taken by surprise. Never in my wildest dreams had I expected any politician to speak with such a degree of incisive honesty, clarity and sincerity. Many friends had told me about him. I dismissed their passion as wishful thinking hoping for a political Messiah. After hearing this speech and wiping the tears from my eyes, I remember saying: "God! I hope this man runs for President some day!" Little did I know how soon this wish would come to pass.

Now I've been to the mountaintop...
And I've seen the promised land...

My eyes have seen the coming of the glory of the Lord.

It's pretty ironic. Hillary was cheering him on here having no idea that HE would be running for President against her.
