President Barack Obama accepted the nomination and addressed the Democratic National Convention Thursday night, talking his accomplishments, goals, and the importance of the people in his job.

"You're the reason a young immigrant who grew up here and went to school here and pledged allegiance to our flag will no longer be deported from the only country she's ever called home; why selfless soldiers won't be kicked out of the military because of who they are or who they love; why thousands of families have finally been able to say to the loved ones who served us so bravely: 'Welcome home. Welcome home.' You did that. You did that. You did that."
