Denver, Aug 26 : It was a family affair for the Obamas last night - Michelle delivered the keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention, Barack appeared via satellite video, and their youngest daughter, Sasha, stole the show in the end.

After the aspiring first lady delivered a moving address in which she called her daughters “the center of my world,” she brought the girls from the side of the stage into the spotlight, while Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely?” played in the background.

Barack Obama, speaking live from the campaign trail in Kansas City, joined the three.
