Editor's Note
With his inspiring speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, Barack Obama rose from being a political unknown to a contender for the highest office in the land: President of the United States of America. His brilliantly fought campaign in 2008--and inspiring message of change--led him to prevail in November, becoming the first black man elected President. This program from America's premiere newsmagazine, 60 MINUTES, charts President Obama's political career and unprecedented rise in the national consciousness.
