If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.

Barack Obama served as the 44th President of the United States from 2009 to 2017. Before his presidency, he served in the Illinois Senate (1997–2004) and the United States Senate (2005–2008).

It was during his campaign for the United States Senate that he first made a speech that received nationwide attention; he gave the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. and stated 'there is not a liberal America and a conservative America—there is the United States of America'. Obama began to run for president just three years after that speech. In response to a political controversy involving race during the primary campaign, he delivered his 'A More Perfect Union' speech, which was widely seen as a critical point in the campaign.

Democratic National Convention keynote address, 2004[edit]

The keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention (DNC) was given by then Illinois State Senator, United States Senate candidate, and future PresidentBarack Obama on the night of Tuesday, July 27, 2004. His unexpected landslide victory in the March 2004 Illinois U.S. Senate Democratic primary had made him overnight a rising star within the national Democratic Party, started speculation about a presidential future, and led to the reissue of his memoir, Dreams from My Father.^[2] His convention keynote address was well received, which further elevated his status within the Democratic Party and led to his reissued memoir becoming a bestseller.^[3]

Obama first met Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry in the spring of 2004, and was just one of several names considered for the role of keynote speaker at the party's convention that summer. After being alerted in early July that he had been chosen to deliver the address, Obama largely wrote the speech himself, with later edits from the Kerry presidential campaign. Delivered on the second night of the DNC in just under 20 minutes, the address included both a biographical sketch of Obama, his own vision of America, and the reasons for his support of Kerry for the presidency. Unlike almost all prior and all subsequent convention keynote addresses, it was not televised by the commercial broadcast networks, and was only seen by a combined PBS, cable news and C-SPAN television audience of about 9 million. Since its delivery, several academics have studied the speech, both for the various narratives it describes as well as its implications for racial reconciliation.

A More Perfect Union, 2008[edit]

'A More Perfect Union'^[4][5] is the name of a speech delivered by SenatorBarack Obama on March 18, 2008 in the course of the contest for the 2008 Democratic Party presidential nomination.^[5] Speaking before an audience at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Obama was responding to a spike in the attention paid to controversial remarks made by the ReverendJeremiah Wright, his former pastor and, until shortly before the speech, a participant in his campaign. Obama framed his response in terms of the broader issue of race in the United States. The speech's title was taken from the Preamble to the United States Constitution.

Obama addressed the subjects of racial tensions, white privilege, and race and inequality in the United States, discussing black 'anger,' white 'resentment,' and other issues as he sought to explain and contextualize Wright's controversial comments.^[6] His speech closed with a plea to move beyond America's 'racial stalemate' and address shared social problems.

On March 27, 2008, the Pew Research Center called the speech 'arguably the biggest political event of the campaign so far,' noting that 85 percent of Americans said they had heard at least a little about the speech and that 54 percent said they heard a lot about it.^[7]The New Yorker opined that the speech helped elect Obama as the President of the United States.^[8]

Election victory speech, 2008[edit]

Attorney GeneralEric Holder was the designated survivor and did not attend the address in order to maintain a continuity of government. He was sequestered at a secret secure location for the duration of the event.^[17]

A New Beginning, 2009[edit]

'A New Beginning' is the name of a speech delivered by United States President Barack Obama on June 4, 2009, from the Major Reception Hall at Cairo University in Egypt. Al-Azhar University co-hosted the event. The speech honors a promise Obama made during his presidential campaign to give a major address to Muslims from a Muslim capital during his first few months as president.^[18]

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs indicated that Egypt was chosen because 'it is a country that in many ways represents the heart of the Arab world.'^[19] Egypt is considered a key player in the Middle East peace process as well as a major recipient of American military and economic aid. Reuters reporter Ross Colvin reported that the speech would attempt to mend the United States' relations with the Muslim world, which he wrote were 'severely damaged' during the presidency of George W. Bush.^[18]

'Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago', 2013[edit]

On July 19, 2013, President Obama gave a speech in place of the usual White House daily briefing normally given by White House Press SecretaryJay Carney. In the 17-minute speech, President Obama spoke about public reaction to the conclusion of the George Zimmerman trial, racial profiling, and the state of race relations in the United States.^[47] The speech was widely covered on news networks, and made headlines across the country. During this speech, made six days after George Zimmerman was found not guilty, Obama said, 'Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago.' That phrase became the most frequently quoted portion of the speech in the news cycle that followed.^[47] The speech marked a major turning point for Barack Obama, who had previously shied away from addressing issues of racial tension during his presidency. During the remarks, President Obama spoke about the many African-Americans who have experienced racial profiling, including himself.^[48]

There are very few African American men in this country who haven't had the experience of being followed when they were shopping in a department store. That includes me. There are very few African American men who haven't had the experience of walking across the street and hearing the locks click on the doors of cars. That happens to me—at least before I was a senator. There are very few African Americans who haven't had the experience of getting on an elevator and a woman clutching her purse nervously and holding her breath until she had a chance to get off. That happens often.^[49]

President Obama also spoke about stand-your-ground laws and pondered that, if Trayvon Martin had been armed, he might possibly have legally stood his ground on the sidewalk and shot George Zimmerman because he felt threatened. Based on that ambiguity, Obama said that perhaps such laws should be examined.^[47]

Speech at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, 2013[edit]

Selma Anniversary, 2015[edit]

Obama spoke on the 50th anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery Marches, lauded unsung heroes and everyday Americans that stood up for justice. According to leading George W. Bush speechwriter Michael Gerson, the speech 'falls into the category of speeches that every child should read in school' and is cited by the Washington Post as the Obama speech which will hold up best for posterity.^[50]

Eulogy for Clementa Pinckney, 2015[edit]

After the Charleston church shooting, during which state senator Clementa C. Pinckney and eight other victims were gunned down by a white supremacist, Obama went to the College of Charleston to deliver eulogy for senator Pinckney while addressing bigger issues about race relations and civil rights in the United States.^[51] Speech had Obama singing 'Amazing grace' with the emotional crowd.^[52] A part of this song in speech was sampled by British band Coldplay in their album 'A Head Full of Dreams'^[53].

Not me, not Bill, nobody!'^[56] Obama contrasted his and Clinton's hopeful view of America with that of Trump, which he called 'deeply pessimistic.'^[56] Obama argued that Trump is unqualified for the office, and is attempting to use fear to get elected.^[57] Michael Grunwald of Politico called it a 'stirring but fundamentally defensive speech.'^[58] Conservative blogger Erick Erickson tweeted 'I disagree with the President on so much policy and his agenda, but appreciate the hope and optimism in this speech.'^[59] After the speech, Clinton appeared on the stage for the first time in the convention, embracing her 2008 primary rival.^[60]
