[Boutique] Obama wins the speech

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.

If there are people who doubt that the United States is a country where everything is possible, and some people doubt whether the dreams of the founding fathers still exist in our time, and if there are people who doubt the power of our democracy, then you have heard the answer tonight.

It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that Their voices could be that difference.

It was the voters who lined up in schools and churches today, and countless voters answered them; those who waited for three or four hours to vote answered. Many of them voted for the first time in their lives because they believed that this time it was really different - their voice would make this difference.

It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been Just a collection ofindividuals or a collection of red states and blue states.

We are, and always will be, the United States of America.

This answer comes from youth, the elderly, the poor, the rich, the Democrats, the Republicans, the dark skin, the white skin, the Latin Americans, the Asians, the Indians, the homosexuals and non-gay, the disabled and the healthy. The United States tells the world that we are never half red, half blue, we are - the United States of America.

It's the answer that led those who've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day .

Many people are cynical, worried, and suspicious in the long-term deafness. But today they answered. Their hands reversed history and turned history to a new day full of hope.

It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.

We have been waiting for a long time. But tonight, because of our efforts today, because of this election, at this decisive moment, the United States finally ushered in a transformation.

A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen. McCain.

And he's fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this Brave and selfless leader.

I congratulate him; I congratulate Gov. Palin for all that they've achieved. And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.

I just received a call from Senator McCain. He is very sincere. In this long campaign, he has worked hard. And for this country he loves, he pays more and takes longer. The sacrifice he endured was something that many Americans could not imagine. The contribution of this brave and selfless leader will make our country stronger. I also admire the achievements of Senator McCain and Governor Palin. I look forward to working with them to regain America's commitment in the coming months.

I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of The United States, Joe Biden.

I want to thank my running mate. He made a heart-to-heart campaign, his voice representing the voices of those who lived on Scranton Street where he grew up, representing the voices of the people of Delaware who commute to and from work with him. Now he will be the vice president of the United States, he is Joe Biden.

And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation's next first lady Michelle Obama.

And you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the new White House.

And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother's watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight. I know that my debt to them is beyond measure.

To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you've given me. I am grateful to them.

If it were not for my closest friends in the past 16 years, the cornerstone of my family, and the support of my life's love, I would not stand here tonight. That is the next first lady of our country, Michel Obama. And my daughter, Sasha and Maria. I love you so much. We will move into the White House with the puppy you just won. And my grandmother, although he has left us at the moment, but I know she is watching it - together with the family who brought me life and defined my life. Tonight, I miss them. I know that I owe them hard to pay.

And to my campaign manager, David Plouffe, the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best — the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America.

To my chief strategist David Axelrod who's been a partner with me every step of the way.

To the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.

Thanks to my campaign manager, David Plouffe, my chief strategy officer, David Axelrod, and the best campaign team in American political history, you made today, your sacrifice and sacrifice. I am always grateful.

But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you. It belongs to you.

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

I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn't start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington. It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front Porches of Charleston. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause.

I have never been the best candidate for the president. At the beginning we didn't have much money or support from many people. Our campaign was not to hatch from the conference hall in Washington, but to the backyard in Des Moines, the living room of ordinary people in Concord, and a front porch in Charleston.

It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep.

It drew 。 。 。 。 。 , by the people, and for the people has not perished from the Earth.

This is your victory.

This victory comes from the ordinary working-class people. They took out five yuan and ten yuan from the meager savings to support our philosophy. Our victory comes from young people - young people who are far from the family's hard-working but low-income campaign. They refuted the paradox about their generation of indifference. Our victory also comes from people who are no longer young. They are walking through the streets in the cold or the hot summer to promote the completely strange voters. Our victory comes from the millions of American people. Their volunteer participation and organization have proved that after more than two centuries, the government of the people, the people, and the people will continue to exist. This victory belongs to you!

And I know you didn't do this just to win an election. And I know you didn't do it for me.

You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime — two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.

Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.

There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after the children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage or pay their doctors' bills or save enough for their child's college education.

There's new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair.

I know that you are doing this not just for this campaign, not just for me. You do this because you know the arduous task we face. Even as we celebrate here tonight, we know that tomorrow's challenges are unprecedented – two wars, a dying planet, and a century-long economic crisis. Even as we celebrate here tonight, we are well aware that brave Americans will wake up in the deserts of Iraq or the mountains of Afghanistan tomorrow – they are risking their lives for us. We know that parents can't sleep after their children fall asleep, and they don't know how to pay for mortgages, medical bills, or raise money for college. We need to develop new energy sources, create new jobs, build new schools, face new challenges, and repair our strategic alliances.

But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.

I promise you, we as a people will get there.

The road ahead is grim and long, and we may not be able to solve these problems within one year or even one presidential term. But in the United States, I have never been as confident as I am tonight, I believe we will solve them. I promise you: We, the American people will solve these problems.

There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the government can't solve every problem.

I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it's been done In America for 221 years — block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.

There will be setbacks and detours in front. Many people will not fully agree with the policies and decisions I made as president. And we know that the government will not solve all the problems. But with regard to the challenges I face, I will always be honest with you. I will listen to your voices - especially when we disagree. And most importantly, I invite you to join in the reconstruction of your home. With our only method in 221 years, the American method - one brick and one watt, the stone is worn.

What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night.

This is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.

It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.

The road to victory that began in the deep winter twenty-one months ago will not stop on this autumn night. This victory is not what we are pursuing. This just gives us the opportunity to achieve the transformation we are looking for. And if we return to the original place, nothing will happen. It will not happen without your participation.

So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.

Let us remember that, if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers.

In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people.

Let us call for a new kind of patriotism, a sense of commitment and responsibility – each of us works harder, not only with ourselves, but also with others. If there is any lesson in this financial crisis, it is that the real economy is damaged and Wall Street is unlikely to prosper. In this country, we share our honour and disgrace.

Let's resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.

Let's remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House, a party founded on the values ​​of self-reliance and individual liberty and national unity.

Those while values ​​that we all share. And while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.

As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies but friends. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.

And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your president, too.

Let us boycott the naive, cumbersome, and unnecessary disputes that have long eroded our politics brought about by the separation of the two parties. Let us remember the first person from the state who inserted the banner of the Republican Party in the White House – he led a party that advocates self-reliance, independence and freedom, and national unity. This is the value we all admire. The great victory of the Democratic Party tonight will prompt us to more modestly and more firmly bridge the split that once prevented us from advancing. As President Lincoln said to the more divided country: "We are not enemies, we are friends... although the current mood is a bit nervous, we must not allow it to break the intimate emotional bond between us." And for those who do not Supporting my Americans - I may not have won your votes yet, but I heard your voice, I need your help, and I will be your president.

And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is At hand.

To those — to those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security: We support you. And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright: Tonight we prove once more that The true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.

For those Americans who are overseas, looking at it, and people sitting in front of the radio in Congress, the White House, and somewhere in the world—we may have different experiences, but we have the same goals. The new dawn of the United States is now in front of us. For those who want to destroy this world - we will defeat you. For those who seek peace and tranquility - we will help you. For those who doubt whether the fire of freedom in the United States is still prosperous - we have proved tonight that our true strength is not from our powerful strength, nor from our huge wealth, but from our perseverance. : Democracy, freedom, opportunity, and the ideal of never giving up.

That's the true genius of America: that America can change. Our union can be perfected. What we've already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.

Americans with different talents - our country can change and our alliance will be perfect. The results we have achieved have given us confidence and we are moving towards greater achievements.

This election had many firsts and many stories that will be for for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight's about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in This election except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.

There are too many first time in this election, and there are too many stories to be relayed from generation to generation. But what impressed me the most was a woman who cast her vote in Atlanta. She made her voice like thousands of Americans, except for one point - Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.

She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons — because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin .

She was born in the dark slave era, when there was no car on the road and there was no plane in the sky. At the time she could not vote for only two reasons - her gender and her skin color.

And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America — the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.

And tonight, I think her experience of a century - heartache and hope; resistance and progress; repeated failures and countercurrents have proved: we can do it.

At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.

Every time a woman’s voice is suppressed and her dreams are devastated, she sees them stand up again and exercise their rights. We can do it.

When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.

When Americans are desperate in the sand, and the country is in a depression, she has seen the country overcome fear, implement a new policy, create new jobs, and unify goals. We can do it.

When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.

When our port was bombed and tyranny enveloped the world, she witnessed the rise of a generation who defended democracy. We can do it.

She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that “We Shall Overcome.” Yes we can.

She witnessed the bus stop in Montgomery, the black riots in Birmingham, the bloody weekend in Selma, and the preacher from Atlanta who shouted to people: "We will win." We can do it.

A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.

And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change.

Yes we can.

We boarded the moon, we pushed down the Berlin Wall, and we connected the world with science and ideas. This year, in this election, she put her finger on the screen and she voted for her own. Because of the 106 years of light and darkness, she knows how the United States should change. We can do it.

We have come so far. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves — if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to Live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?

In the United States, we have been away for a long time. We have seen a lot, but there are still many things waiting for us to do. Tonight, let us ask ourselves – if our children can see the next century, if my daughters are lucky enough to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what changes will they see? We should How to complete these changes?

This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment.

This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are And while we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:

This is our chance to complete our mission. This is our time. This is the moment when we create history – let our people get jobs, open their doors to give our children an opportunity, restore prosperity and advance peace; let the American dream reappear and reaffirm our basic beliefs – unity. When we breathe, we think, we face cynicism, we hesitate, we face those who question us, we will remember the eternal creed that embodies our spirit:

Yes, we can.

We must do it.

Thank you.

thank you all.

God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America.

God bless you, may God bless the United States of America.
