I first saw Barack Obama in 2004 he was chosen to be the speaker at the DNC convention that year
And i have to say i really was impressed by his speech but had no idea he would one day run for president.
When he announced he was running for President i was very skeptical. not because he decided to run but i knew how those in the media would handle it. They would treat his run as a novelty the same way they treated Shirley Chisolm Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. Barack Obama running for president brought out alot of positive things young people and people who have never voted came out and voted.
People who were never interested in politics started paying attention
And even if you don't like Barack Obama you have to admit that was a good thing.
