[Boutique] Obama's campaign speech

Part 1: Obama's campaign speech

Hello, Chicago citizens!

If there are still people who doubt whether everything is possible in the United States, there are still people who doubt whether the dream of the founder of the United States is still alive in the era we live in, and some people question the power of our democratic system, then tonight, these problems Have an answer. This is the answer given by the long queues that have never been seen before the polling stations in schools and churches; it is the answer given by voters who waited for three or four hours, many of whom were the first in their lives. Vote, because they believe that this time will definitely be different, and think that their voice will be different from the past.

This is the answer given by all Americans - whether young or old, rich or poor, whether it is Democrats or Republicans, whether black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Aboriginal, homosexual or heterosexual, disabled or Sound people--We have never been the opposite camp of "Hongzhou" and "Blue State". We are the whole of the United States of America, always.

For a long time, many people have been repeatedly warned to be extremely ironic, worried and suspicious about what we can achieve, but this answer allows these people to reach out to grasp history and once again extend it to the hope of a better tomorrow.

It’s been a long time, but tonight, because of what we did today, in this election, at this decisive moment, the United States has embraced change.

I just received a very modest call from Senator McCain. He has worked hard for a long time in this election, and he struggled longer and harder for the country he loved. He has made sacrifices for the United States that most of us can't imagine, and our lives have become better because of the contribution of this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him and Governor Palin for their achievements, and I look forward to working with them to revitalize the country's hopes in the years to come.

I want to thank my partner on this journey - Biden, who has been elected Vice President of the United States. He is fully involved in the campaign and speaks for the general public. They are his youngest partner in Scranton and the men and women he met on his train back to Delaware.

Without the strong support of one person, I will not stand here tonight. She is my best friend in the past 16 years, the backbone of our family and the love of my life. It is the next best in our country. Mrs. Michelle Obama. Sasha and Maria, I love you two too much. You have got a new puppy and it will join us in the White House. Although my grandmother is no longer there, I know that she and my loved ones are definitely looking at me because they can have today's achievements. Tonight, I miss them, I know that I owe them nothing.

My campaign manager David Plouf, chief strategist David Axelrod, and the best campaign team in political history - you have made today, I am forever grateful to you for achieving today's achievements. The sacrifice.

But the most important thing is that I will never forget the true affiliation of this victory - it belongs to you.

I have never been the most promising candidate. In the beginning, we didn't have much money and didn't get the support of too many people. Our campaign was not born in the high gates of Washington, but in the homes of ordinary people in places like Des Moines, Concord, and Charleston.

Our campaign can be scaled today because the hard-working people donate money from their meager savings and donate a sum of $5, $10, and $20. The growing momentum of the campaign is rooted in the young people who refuse to accept the absurd claims that their generation is indifferent; they leave home, leave their loved ones, engage in meager, extremely hard work, and also Those who are not young, they braved the cold and heat, knocked on the door of strangers for campaign propaganda; more than millions of Americans, they spontaneously organized themselves, proving that after more than two hundred years, The government of the people, the people, and the people has not disappeared from the earth. This is your victory.

I know that what you are doing is not just to win the election. I also know that you are not doing it for me. You do this because you understand how difficult the task is. Because even as we celebrate tonight, we know that tomorrow will face the most daunting challenges of our lives - two wars, a planet at risk, and the worst financial crisis in a hundred years. Standing here tonight, we know that there are brave American soldiers waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan, and risking their lives to protect us. There will be parents who are still unable to sleep after the child is asleep, worried about how to repay the monthly mortgage payment, pay for medical expenses or save enough money to send the child to college. We urgently need to develop new energy sources and create new jobs; we need to build new schools and deal with numerous threats and repairs with many of our allies.

The road ahead will be very long and hard. We may not be able to achieve these goals within a year or even a term, but I have never been so hopeful as I am tonight, I believe we will achieve it. I promise you - we as a whole will achieve our goals.

We will encounter setbacks and unsuccessful beginnings. There are many people who disagree with every decision and policy I make as a president. We also know that the government cannot solve all problems. But I will confess to you the challenges we face. I will listen to your opinions, especially when we disagree. Most importantly, I will ask you to participate in the reconstruction of this country. In the only way that the United States has never changed in 221 years, it has become a brick and a brick.

Everything that began in the winter 21 months ago should not end on this autumn night. Today’s election victory is not the change we are looking for – it’s just an opportunity for us to make a difference. And if we still act in the old way, the changes we seek cannot happen. Without you, it is impossible to have this change.

Therefore, let us carry forward the new patriotism, establish a new sense of service and sense of responsibility, and let each of us make up our minds to invest fully, work harder, and care for each other. Let us remember the lesson of this financial crisis: we can't have a thriving Wall Street while suffering outside of finance – in this country, we have trouble together.

Let us resist the temptation to retake the old path and avoid returning to the partisanship that has poisoned American politics for a long time and the regrets and immature performance that it has caused. Let us remember that it was a man from Illinois who first took the banner of the Republican Party to the White House. The Republican Party is built on the values ​​of self-reliance, individual liberty, and unity among the people. This is also the value that all of us value. Although the Democratic Party won a huge victory this evening, we won this victory with a humble attitude and determination to bridge the differences that hinder our progress. In a speech to a country far more divided than ours, Lincoln said that we are not enemies, but friends... Although passion may fade, it will not cut off our emotional connection. For those Americans who don't support me now, I want to say, maybe I didn't win your votes, but I heard your voice, I need your help, and I will be your president.

Those overseas who pay attention to the US elections all night, from the Congress to the Royal Palace, and the people crowded by the radio in the forgotten corners of the world, although our experiences are different, our destiny is the same, the new American leader born. Those who want to subvert the world, we will defeat you. Those who pursue peace and security, we support you. Those who doubt that the United States can continue to illuminate the world's development prospects, we prove tonight that the true strength of our country does not come from the power of our weapons or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, freedom, Opportunity and unyielding hope.

This is the true essence of the United States - the United States can change. Our federation will be perfected. Our achievements add hope to what we can achieve in the future and what we must achieve.

This election has created a number of "firsts" and has also produced many stories that will be passed down from generation to generation. But what made me unfortunate this evening was a woman who voted in Atlanta: Ann Nixon Cooper. She is no different from the other millions of voters who are waiting in line to vote, except for one point: she is 106 years old.

The slavery that she was born in was just over; there was no car on the road, and there was no plane in the sky; people like her could not vote for two reasons - one was that she was a woman and the other was her skin color.

Tonight, I thought about all the things she experienced in the United States in the past 100 years: heartache and hope; struggles and progress; those we are told that we can't do, and those who believe in American creed--yes, we can People who do ---.

Once upon a time, women did not have a voice, their hopes turned into a bubble, but Ann Nixon Cooper lived and saw the women stand up and saw them express their opinions aloud and saw them go to participate. Election vote. Yes, we can do it.

When the sandstorms of the 1930s and the Great Depression sparked despair, she saw a country using the Roosevelt New Deal, new jobs, and a common pursuit of new goals to overcome panic. Yes, we can do it.

When the bomb struck our harbor and the dictatorship threatened the world, she witnessed the great rise of the American generation and witnessed the rescue of a democracy. Yes, we can do it.

She saw a bus in Montgomery, a water pipe in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a missionary from Atlanta who told us that we can succeed. Yes, we can do it.

Humans landed on the moon, the walls of Berlin fell, and the world was connected by our science and imagination. This year, in this election, she touched the screen with her fingers and cast her vote. After living in the United States for 106 years, after the best time and the darkest moment, she knew how the United States could change. Yes, we can do it.

In the United States, we have come a long way. We have experienced a lot. But we still have a lot to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves--if our children can live to the next century; if our daughters are fortunate enough to live as long as Ann, what changes will they see? What progress will we make?

Now is our chance to answer this question. This is our moment. This is our time--let our people re-employment, open the door to opportunities for our future generations; restore prosperity and advance the cause of peace; let the "American Dream" re-grow, once again prove such a basic truth: we It is a family; we have hope when we are still alive; when we encounter ridicule and suspicion, when someone says that we can't do it, we have to respond to them with this eternal creed: Yes, we can do it.

thank you. God bless you. May God bless the United States of America.

Part 2: Obama's campaign speech

It is now a critical moment in American history. We are facing the most serious economic crisis since the Great Depression: 760,000 people have lost their jobs this year; businesses and households have no access to credit; housing prices have fallen, pensions have shrunk, wages have fallen to their lowest level in a decade, and health and education The cost has risen to the highest point ever.

At this critical moment, we can’t afford another four-year increase in spending, riddled tax cuts, or no regulation at all – even the former chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, Greenspan, now admits It is a mistake. The United States needs a new direction. This is why I am running for the US president.

Tomorrow, that is, Tuesday, you will have the ability to give the country the change we need.

Corbis, my campaign opponent, Senator McCain's contribution to the United States is respectable. He can even point out that he has split up with his own party several times in the past. However, in the past eight years, he has endorsed President Bush’s claims. On the economic issue, he still can't explain to the American people that there is much difference between him and Bush.

If the proposed tax plan does not allow more than 100 million US middle classes to get a penny tax break, this is not a change – even the National Review magazine and other conservative organizations complain that the plan is for the benefit of the middle class. Class contribution. Adding another $5 trillion to the accumulated fiscal deficit in recent years is not a change. If the plan to solve the housing crisis puts another $300 billion in taxpayers' money at risk, it's not a change—the Wall Street Journal editorial board said the plan "has produced more problems than solved."

If we have learned something from this economic crisis, it is that we have to share difficulties. From chief executives to company shareholders, from financiers to factory workers, each of us is relevant, because the richer the American population, the more prosperous the United States will be.

That's why some of our corporate giants have made it their mission to raise employee compensation so that employees can afford the products they produce, such as business people like Buffett. I am proud of having his support. This is why the US economy is not only the greatest wealth creator in the world, but also the greatest job giver in the world. It has been holding the largest middle class boat ever.

In order to reshape the American middle class, I will give 95% of workers and their families tax relief. If you work, pay taxes; if you earn less than $200,000 a year, you will get a tax cut; even if your annual income exceeds $250,000, you are taxed at a lower rate than in the 1990s—Capital Profits tax and dividend tax are one-third lower than during Reagan’s presidency.

By rebuilding the increasingly ruined infrastructure and connecting broadband across the United States, we will create 2 million jobs. In the next ten years, I will invest 15 billion US dollars in renewable energy every year, and then add 5 million jobs; these jobs are environmentally friendly, well-paid, and cannot be outsourced, and can help us get rid of dependence on Middle East oil.

On medical issues, we don't have to choose between a system of government operations and a system that we can't afford today. The plan proposed by my campaign opponents will make Americans tax the medical benefits they receive for the first time in history. My plan will make healthcare a service that every American can afford and enjoy. According to my plan, if you already have health insurance, the only change you will see is a reduction in premiums; if you don't have health insurance, you will be able to enjoy the same medical benefits as MPs.

In order for each child to enjoy world-class education and to compete in the 21st century for jobs in the global economy, I will invest in early education and increase my faculty. However, I will also ask for higher standards and more responsibilities. We make a commitment to every young American: if you are committed to serving your community or your country, we will make sure that you can afford your tuition.

On the issue of national defense security, I will end the war in Iraq responsibly, so that we do not have to spend $10 billion a month if the country enjoys a huge fiscal surplus. For the American economy, the US military and the long-term stability of Iraq, it is time for Iraqis to stand up. I will finally complete the blow against bin Laden and al-Qaeda terrorists. It is these people who have created a 9/11 terrorist attack. At the same time, I will establish new partnerships, repel the threats of the 21st century, and restore our moral prestige. Let the United States remain the last and best hope on earth.

None of these things can be done easily, nor can it be done overnight. However, I firmly believe that we can succeed because I believe in the United States. It is the United States that makes our fathers believe that even if they can’t go to college themselves, they can save some money every week to let their children receive a good education. Even if they can’t own their own business, they can work hard to make their own. The child founded the business. At every moment in American history, we bravely stand up and face the challenge, because we have never forgotten such a basic truth: in the United States, our destiny is not determined, but in our own hands.

So, tomorrow, I beg you to write the next great chapter of the United States. I urge you not only to believe in my ability to bring change, but also your own abilities. Tomorrow, you can choose a policy that invests in the American middle class, creates new jobs, and achieves economic growth. You can choose hope rather than fear, choose unity instead of division, choose the hope of change instead of sticking to the rules. If you vote for me, we will not only win this election, but also change the country and change the world together.

Part 3: Obama's campaign speech

Hello, Chicago

The United States is a place where everything is possible. If anyone still doubts about this snack, if anyone still doubts whether the dream of the founder of the United States is still active in our time, and there are people who doubt the power of our democratic system, then you are now It was the answer to those questions in the evening.

The unprecedented long queues around schools and churches are the answer. The country has never seen so many people coming to vote. People have three or four hours to make the first vote in their lives because they believe This time will be different, the sound they make may be the difference.

This is a young and old man, rich and poor, Democrats and Republicans, blacks, whites, Hispanics, Asians, Indians, homosexuals and heterosexuals, people with disabilities and healthy people. Reply. Americans send a message to the world: We are not just some personal accumulation or the accumulation of "red states" and "blue states."

We are, we are always the United States of America.

This is an answer that guides people. Too many people tell them this answer for a long time, so that they have a cynical attitude towards this, and they are worried about whether we can grasp the hope of history again. doubt. It’s been a long time, but tonight, because of the actions we took today in this election, the change came to the United States at this decisive time.

Earlier this evening, I received a particularly graceful call from Senator John McCain. McCain made long and arduous efforts in this election campaign. He fought for a longer period of time and made harder efforts for this country he loved. He has endured the United States for the sacrifices that most of us can't imagine. Our life has become better because of the service of this brave and selfless leader.

I congratulate him. I congratulate Governor Palin and congratulate them on the results they have achieved. I look forward to working with them to continue the country’s commitment in the years to come.

I want to thank my partner on the campaign, a man who is running for the election, a man and woman who grew up with him on the streets of Scranton, and a man who often takes the train back to Delaware. President Biden.

Without my best friend of the past 16 years, the backbone of our family, and the love of my life, I can't stand here tonight, the next first lady of the United States, Michelle Obama.

Sasha and Malia, I love you, my love for you is beyond your imagination. You have won a new pet dog and it will travel with us to the new White House.

Although she could not be with us, I know that my grandmother and my family are looking at me. I miss them tonight. I know that what I owe them is unmeasurable. My sister Maya, my sister Omar, my other brothers and sisters, thank you very much for your support, I thank them.

My campaign manager David Plouffe, the unsung hero of the campaign, has conducted the best political campaign, which I think is the best in American history. My chief strategist, David Axelrod, has been following my partner. You have formed the best campaign team in political history. You have made it today. I am forever grateful for the sacrifices you have made for this.

But the most important thing is that I will never forget who this victory really belongs to, it belongs to you, it belongs to you.
