Barack Obama celebrates Democratic presidential candidate win with U2
'It's A Beautiful Day' for the presidential hopeful
Barack Obama celebrated winning the race to be the Democrat candidate for the forthcoming US presidential elections by blasting out U2's 'Beautiful Day'.
Obama celebrated at the Excel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota in front of 15,000 people last night (June 3) as the song was played.
"Tonight we mark the end of one historic journey with the beginning of another – a journey that will bring a new and better day to America," he said during the celebrations.
Obama will stand in the presidential elections this November. He is the first black person to represent a major US political party as a presidential candidate.
