UK Labour Party's David Miliband was forced to stand in a queue for attending Barack Obama's nomination acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in America. The former British foreign secretary and older brother of Labour leader Ed were forced to wait in line at the packed event in Charlotte, North Carolina, but was eventually allowed inside. After finally making it inside the convention hall, he tweeted: "Charlotte2012 arena absolutely heaving ahead of Obama speech - nearly didn't get in! #FiredUp #ReadyToGo!," the Daily Mail reports. Miliband, who at one stage hoped to become Prime Minister, was pictured among dozens of others queuing to hear the highly anticipated speech in which Obama set out his case for being re-elected for a second term, the paper said. He has not enjoyed much luck in front of the camera. In 2008 he was ridiculed after being photographed holding a banana on his way to the Labour Party Conference, the paper added.
