Barack Obama - Biography
It took just one sensational speech in July 2004 to make Harvard Law graduate Barack Obama an overnight star. Just three years later the Democratic senator launched his campaign to become first black president of the US.
Described by Oprah Winfrey as having a "tongue dipped in the unvarnished truth", the son of a former Kenyan goat-herder has come to embody the hopes and dreams of millions of Americans.
Mr Obama's inspirational rhetoric at the 2004 Democrat Convention, where he called for party unity and emphasised the traditional American ideals of self-reliance and aspiration, proved to be the making of him.
"Through hard work and perseverance my father got a scholarship to study in a magical place - America - which stood as a beacon of freedom and opportunity to so many that had come before," he told the convention.
The Illinois politician had good reason to appreciate the possibilities he saw the US as representing.
