Ein amerikanischer Traum
The keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention (DNC) was given by then Illinois State Senator, United States senatorial candidate, and future President Barack Obama on the night of Tuesday, July 27, 2004, in Boston, Massachusetts. His unexpected landslide victory in the March 2004 Illinois U.S. Senate Democratic primary made him a rising star within the national Democratic Party overnight, and led to the reissue of his memoir, "Dreams from My Father". His keynote address was well received, which further elevated his status within the Democratic Party and led to his reissued memoir becoming a bestseller.
