Obama Makes Early Appearance At DNC, Tours Invesco

DENVER (CBS4/AP) ― Sen. Barack Obama has traveled to the Democratic National Convention arena, making an unscheduled and unscripted appearance to join the party in celebrating his historic presidential nomination.

Obama joined the newly-nominated vice presidential candidate Sen. Joe Biden on the platform and they hugged and applauded each other and the convention delegates.

Obama told the roaring crowd that he wants people to understand why he is proud to have "the whole Biden family on this journey with me to take America back."

He deadpanned at one point that he thought the convention had "gone pretty well so far."

After the appearance, Obama toured Invesco Field at Mile High. He got a feel for the podium on the 50-yard line of the home of the Broncos while walking with Michelle in a teal dress.

The stadium lights shined on the ground where the delegates will sit.
