Obama Accepts Nomination, Calls for Change


Democratic Presidential Nominee and World Renown celebrity Barack Obama accepted his party's nomination for president, capping off a week of highly predictable events.

As the candidate rose to the podium to accept the honor and thank his supporters, he gave a rousing speech, calling for "change in America, and change for the world."

"We campaigned on a promise of change, and change is what we plan to bring to not only this country, but to the world," proclaimed the candidate.

Obama's speech was peppered with promises of "change" and "more change." At one point, he promised that, if elected, he would "bring change to America."

"We campaigned on a platform of change and you responded. Now, we are going to move forward with change. It will be a big change. The kind of change that will make Americans say, 'Wow, things have really changed.'"

Obama also spoke about changing the way government is run.

"You asked for change when you voted for me. I will bring you change. You will know that things have change because I am the great changer."

Since announcing his candidacy several months ago, Obama's "change" platform has resonated well with voters. During his speech, he hinted that change will be a top priority.

"I will not hesitate to implement change if I have to," he said. "I will not withhold change if change is needed. I will bring change when change is warranted. I will make sure that change remains on the table at all times."

To that, the crowd cheered wildly. Many in the audience waved signs and banners which read: "Change."

"I just love him," said one supporter on the convention floor. "He's going to change everything. I can't wait."

"We need to be inspired. And nothing inspires like promises of change," said yet another supporter.

In addressing his subjects, Obama blasted the Bush administration for "destroying the country and ruining everything."

"President Bush messed everything up, I want to change that. That's what this talk of change is all about. Changing the way we do business, changing the way we do things."
