The Democratic Party has opened its national convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. First lady Michelle Obama delivered a speech during the first evening of the three-day convention. It centered on her husband’s character and values.
Michelle Obama says, "Because today, I know from experience that if I truly want to leave a better world for my daughters, and all our sons and daughters, if we want to give all our children a foundation for their dreams and opportunities worthy of their promise, if we want to give them that sense of limitless possibility that belief that here in America, there is always something better out there if you’re willing to work for it. Then we must work like never before…and we must once again come together and stand together for the man we can trust to keep moving this great country forward, my husband, our President, President Barack Obama."
The convention will conclude with Obama’s acceptance of the nomination in an address on Thursday in a 74,000-seat football stadium. Democrats plan to use their convention to highlight the party’s diversity, featuring a lineup of black, women, Hispanic and young speakers to appeal to the voting blocs that helped propel Obama to a comfortable victory in 2008.
