On Thursday, August 28, 2008, Barack Obama was nominated by the Democratic Party to be the 44th president of the United States, and the first African-American to seek the office of the presidency. In his acceptance speech to a crowd of 80,000 at Invesco Field in Denver, Obama said: "America, now is not the time for small plans."
Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post remarked, "A black man is running as the Democratic candidate for president of the United States. Can you believe that?"
