YahooWhen Barack Obama gave a rousing speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, it catapulted him to political fame and secured his place as one of the country's best-known orators.
But a new viral video of the president shows he wasn't always a natural.
In a 1991 ad for TBS' "Black History Minute," the then-Harvard Law Review editor appears a little less comfortable in front of the camera than he is today, and displays his reliance on the teleprompter. You can check out the video for yourself above.
The video is drawing new national attention after it was posted to YouTube last week by user "Akaczynski1."
