DENVER: Democrats opened their convention Monday to nominate Barack Obama as the first black presidential candidate for a major U.S. party, setting in motion a four-day political festival that seeks to heal wounds opened in a bruising primary battle and reassure voters still wary of putting a political newcomer in the White House.
Obama’s wife, Michelle, was the evening’s featured speaker,casting herself and husband Barack as people guided by bedrock American values.
“We want our children _ and all children in this nation _ to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work for them,” she said.
