Life:
Obama was born in Hawaii, USA. His father is an international student from Kenya and his mother is a white man from Kansas, USA. Obama graduated from Columbia University and Harvard University, and 1996 was elected to the Illinois Senate for the first time. In 2004, he was elected to the Illinois Senate for the first time, becoming the fifth black senator in the history of the US Congress and the only one in this Congress.
In July 2004, the Democratic Party held a national congress, and Obama was assigned to give a "keynote speech" the next day. The so-called "keynote speech" refers to the democratic party's program and policy declaration, which is usually published by the party's promising political stars. 1988 The keynote speaker was Clinton, then governor of Arkansas. Obama lived up to expectations. He personally wrote the speech and delivered an impassioned speech. In his speech, he proposed to eliminate party differences and racial differences and realize the dream of "one America."
The 45-year-old Obama's speech was very charming, and his bright smile won many people's hearts. Compared with the black predecessors who intended to run for the presidency in the past, Obama was the first rising star to win national support in the polls before the primary election, and defeated Hillary Clinton, one of the popular candidates for the Democratic presidential candidate in 2008, to become the Democratic presidential candidate.
In just over two years, Obama set off a whirlwind in the political arena, and some even compared the "Obama phenomenon" with former President Kennedy's strong popularity of 1960 to enter the White House.
