奥巴马2012胜选演讲英文全文

第一篇：奥巴马2012胜选演讲英文全文

“Thank you.Thank you.Thank you so much.Tonight more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward.It moves forward because of you.It moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over war and depression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair to the heights of hope.The belief that while each of us will pursue our own individual dreams, we are an American family and we rise or fall together as one nation and as one people.Tonight in this election, you, the American people, remind us while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back, and we know in our hearts that the united states of America – the best is yet to come.[cheering] I want to thank every American who participated in this election [CHEERING] Whether you voted for the very first time or waiting in line for a very long time.By the way, we need to fix that.Whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone.Whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you mad your voice heard.And you made a difference.I just got off the phone with Governor Romney and I congratulated him and Paul Ryan on a hard-fought campaign.[CHEERING] We may have fought fiercely, but it’s only because we love this country deeply.And we care so stronly about its future.From George to Lenore to their son Mitt, the Romney family has chosen to give back to Americans through public service.And that is a legacy that we honor and applaud tonight.[CHEERING] In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Governor Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward.[CHEERING] I want to thank my friend and partner for the last four years, America’s happy warrior, the best vice president anybody could ever hope for: Joe Biden.I want to thank my friend and partner of the last 4 years, America’s happy warrior, the best Vice President anyone could ever hope for: Joe Biden.And I wouldn’t be the man I am today without the woman who agreed to marry me twenty years ago.Let say this publicly, Michelle I have never loved you more.I have never been prouder to watch the rest of America fall in love with you too as our nation’s first lady.Sasha and Malia before our very eyes you are growing up to become two strong smart beautiful young women, just like your mom.And im so proud of you guys.But I will say that for now one dog is probably enough.To the best campaign team and volunteers in the history of politics.The best.The best ever.Some of you were this time around.Some of you were new this time around and some of you have been at my side since the very beginning but all of you are family.No matter what you do or where you go from here, you will carry the memory of the history we made together and you will have the life long appreciation of a grateful president.Thank you for believing all the way, through every hill, through every valley.[applause] You lifted me up the whole way and I will always be grateful for everything that you’ve done and all the incredible work that you’ve put in.[applause] I know that political campaigns can sometime seem small, even silly, and that provides plenty of fodder for the synics who tell us that politics is nothing more than a contest of egos or the domain of special interests.But if you ever get the chance to talk to folks who turn out at rallies and crowded out along a ropline in a high school gym or saw folks working late at a campaign office in some tiny county far away from home, you’ll discover something else;you’ll hear the determination in the voice of a young field organizer who is working his way through college and wants to make sure every child has that same opportunity.[applause] You’ll hear the pride in the voice of a volunteer who is going door to door because her brother was finally hired when the local auto plant added another shift.[applause] You’ll hear the deep patriotism in the voice of a military spouse who is working the phones late at night to make sure that no one who fights for this country every has to fight for a job or a roof over their head when they come home.[applause] That’s why we do this.That’s what politics can be.That’s why elections matter.It’s not small, it’s big.It’s important.Democracy in a nation of 300-million can be noisy and messy and complicated.We have our own opinions, each of us has deeply held beliefs.And when we go through tough times, when we make big decisions as a country;it necisarily stirs passions, stirs up controversy.That won’t change after tonight and it shouldn’t.These arguments we have are a mark of our liberty.We can never forget that as we speak, people in distant nations are risking their lives right now just for a chance to argue about the issues that matter [applause] The chance to cast their ballots like we did today.But despite all our differences, most of us share certain hopes for America’s future.We want our kids to grow up in a country where they have access to the best schools and the best teachers.[applause] A country that lives up to its legacy as the global leader in technology and discovery and innovation;with all the good jobs and new businesses that follow.A country that lives up to its legacy as a global leader in technology, discovery and innovation.With all the good jobs and businesses that follow, to live in America that isn’t burdened by debt, that isn’t weakened by inequality.That isn’t threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet.We want to pass on a country that is saved and respected and admired around the world.A nation that is defended by the strongest military on earth and the best troops this world has ever known.But also a country that moves with confidence beyond this time of war to shape a peace.That is built on the promise of dignity of every human being.We believe in a generous America, in a compassionate America, in a tolerant America, open to the dreams of an immigrants daughter that studies in our schools and pledges to our flag.To the young boy on the south side of Chicago, who sees a light beyond the nearest street corner.To the furniture workers child in North Carolina who wants to become a engineer or a scientist.And engineer or an entrepreneur.A diplomat or even a president, that’s the future we hope for.That’s the vision we share, that’s where we need to go.Forward.That’s where we need to go.Now we will disagree sometimes fiercely on how to get there, as it has for more then two centuries, progress will come in fits and starts, it’s not always a straight line or a smooth path.By itself a recognition of our common hopes and dreams won’t end the gridlock.Or solve all our problems or substitute for the hard work of building consensus.And making the difficult compromises needed to move the country forward but that common bond is where we must begin.Our economy is recovering, our decade of war is ending.A long campaign is now over.[applause] And whether I earned your vote or not, I have listened to you.I have learned from you and you have made me a better President.With your stories and your struggles, I returned to the White House more determined and more inspired than ever about the work there is to do and the future that lies ahead [applause] Tonight, you voted for action, not politics as usual.You elected us to focus on your jobs, not ours.And in the coming weeks and months, I am looking forward to reaching out and working with leaders of both parties to meet the challenges we can only solve together: reducing our deficit, reforming our tax code, fixing our immigration system, freeing ourselves from foreign oil, we’ve got more work to do.But that doesn’t mean your work is done.The role of citizen in our democracy does not end with your vote.America’s never been about what could be done for us, it’s about what can be done by us, together, through the hard and frustrating but necessary work of self-government.That’s the principle we were founded on.This country has more wealth than any nation, but that’s not what makes us rich.We have the most powerful military in history but that’s not what makes us strong.Our university, our culture, are all the envy of the world but that’s not what keeps the world coming to our shores.What makes America exceptional are the bonds that hold together the most diverse nation on Earth, the belief that our destiny is shared, that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another and the future generations so that the freedom so many Americans have fought for and died for comes with responsibilities as well as rights, and among those are love, and charity, and duty and patriotism.That’s what makes America great.I am hopeful tonight because I have seen that spirit at work in America.I’ve seen it in the family business whose owners would rather cut their own pay than lay off their neighbors, and in the workers who would rather cut back their hours than see a friend lose a job.I’ve seen it in the soldiers who re-enlist after losing a limb, and in those SEALS who charged up the stairs into darkness and danger because they knew their was a buddy behind them watching their back.I’ve seen it on the shores of New Jersey and New York where leaders from every party and level of government have swept aside their differences to help a community rebuild from the wreckage of a terrible storm.And I saw it just the other day, in Mentor, Ohio wehre a father told the story of his eight-year-old daughter who’s long battle with leukemia nearly cost their family everything had it not been for healthc are reform passing just a few months before.The insurance company was about to stop paying for her care I had an opportunity to not just talk to the father but meet this incredible daughter of his, and when he spoke to the crowd listening to that father’ story, every parent in that room had tears in their eyes because we knew that little girl could be our own.And I know that every American wants her future to be just as bright.That’s who we are.That’s the country I’m so proud to lead as your president.And tonight, despite all the hardship we’ve been through, despite al lthe frustrations of Washington, I’ve never been more hopeful about our future I’ve never been more hopeful about America.And I ask you to sustain that hope.I’m not talking about blind optimism.The kind of hope that just ignores the enormity of the tasks ahead or the road blocks that stand in our path.I’m not talking about the wishful idealism that allows us to just sit on the sidelines or shirk from a fight.I have always believed that hope is that stubborn thing inside of us that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us so long as we have the courage to keep reaching to keep working, to keep fighting.America, I believe we can build on the progress we made and continue to fight for new jobs and new opportunity and new security for the middle class I believe we can keep the promise of our founder.The idea that if you’re willing to work hard, it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from or what you look like or where you love, it doesn’t matter if you’re black or white or Hispanic or asian, or native American, or young or old, or rich or poor, able, disabled, gay or straight, you can make it.I believe we can sieze this future together.Because we are not as divided as our politics suggest.We’re not as cynical as the pundents believe.We are greater than the sum of our individual ambitions.And we remain more than a collection of red states and blue states.We are and forever will be the United States of America.With your help and God’s grace, we will continue our journey forward.And remind the world just why it is that we live in the greatest nation on Earth.Thank you, America.God bless you.God bless these United States.” [CHEERING]

The text of Barack Obama's victory speech in full

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.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 very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different;that their voice could be that difference.It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled – Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America.It’s the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of 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.It’s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.I just received a very gracious call from Senator McCain.He fought long and hard in this campaign, and he’s fought even longer and harder for the country he loves.He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.I congratulate him and Governor Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation’s promise in the months ahead.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 that train home to Delaware, the Vice President-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last sixteen years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nation’s next First Lady, Michelle Obama.Sasha and Malia, I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the White House.And while she’s no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am.I miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure.To my campaign manager David Plouffe, my chief strategist David Axelrod, and 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.But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly 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 five dollars and ten dollars and twenty dollars to this cause.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;from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers;from the millions of Americans who volunteered, and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this Earth.This is your victory.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 their children fall asleep and wonder how they’ll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor’s bills, or save enough for college.There is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created;new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to repair.（中文）

美国是否暗藏一切皆有可能的巨大潜力？美国是否已经实现开国者锻造的美国梦？民主信仰是否具有强大力量？如果还有人对此报以怀疑，那么今晚这里发生的一切就是答案。

学校旁、教堂边，无数人都在排队投票，这一情景我们已经多年未见；3个小时、4个小时，他们为此而等候良久，这是很多同胞有生以来的第一次。因为他们相信，这一次，将不同以往；这一次，因为他们的呼声而有所不同。

无论老少贫富，无论共和党抑或民主党，不管是黑皮肤、白种人、拉丁后裔、亚裔子孙还是本土美国人；无论性向如何，不管健康抑或残疾，所有的美国人民都向全世界传递出这样一条信息：我们从来都不是红蓝阵营的政治堆砌，我们是，而且永远是，美利坚合众国。长期以来，很多人缺乏信心，对自己所能取得的成就畏首畏尾、疑心重重。如今，我们走在历史的长河里，挺起胸膛，勾勒出美好明天的光辉画卷。

此情此景，等待尤长。然而，就在今晚，在这个大选的日子，在这个具有历史性意义的时刻，由于你们的付出，美国终于迎来了变革。

刚刚，我接到了麦凯恩参议员礼貌得体的祝贺电话。为了此次竞选，他奋战良久、竭尽所能；为了他所深爱的美国，他曾作出了更长久、更努力的奉献。麦凯恩参议员为美国所作出的牺牲是大部分人难以想象的，他这种英勇无私的奉献改善了我们的生活。对于麦凯恩参议员和佩林州长所取得的成就，我对他们致以祝贺。在接下来的几个月里，以重振美国为目标，我期待着与他们的合作。

在此，我想感谢一路陪伴我的竞选搭档，他就是我们即将上任的副总统，乔·拜登。为了让美国广大的工人阶层发出自己的声音，他毫无私心地全身心投入竞选，因为他和那些宾夕法尼亚州斯克兰顿城街头的人们一样，出生平凡，一切白手起家。

如果没有米歇尔·奥巴马，这一准美国第一夫人的坚定支持，今晚，我就不会站在这儿了。我们相伴走过了16个春秋，她是我们整个家庭的顶梁柱，我一生的挚爱。还有，萨沙和玛利亚，我爱你们，你们姊妹俩终于可以带着你们的新宠物狗入主白宫了。我知道，就像我的其他已故亲属一样，外祖母一定也在某处注视着我，虽然她已经不在人世。是他们造就了今天的我。今晚我很想念他们，我对他们的亏欠无以计量。

我想对我的竞选经理大卫·普劳夫、首席战略师大卫·阿克塞尔罗德以及我们这个史上最佳的竞选团队说，是你们让这一切成为了现实，对于你们为此所做的牺牲和付出我永远感怀在心。

然而，有一点是最重要的，那就是我永远都不会忘记，真正拥有这个胜利的是你们，你们所有人！对于入主白宫，我从来都不是最热候选人。竞选伊始，我们的资金并不充裕，获得的支持也不多。我们的竞选班子并非始于华府，而是一路从艾奥瓦州的得梅因酒店后院、辗转北卡罗莱纳州的康克酒店客房，后来会首在西弗吉尼亚州查尔斯顿酒店的主厅……

我们的胜利来自于广大工薪阶级，正是他们从仅有的微薄存款里掏出5美元、10美元或者20美元来支持我们的竞选。我们的力量来自于摘下冷漠面罩的年轻一代，来自于夜以继日奋力工作以维持生计的下层百姓，来自于冒着严寒酷暑、户户敲门宣传的团队中流砥柱，更来自于成千上万的大选志愿者。他们用出色的奉献精神和组织能力证明了一个民有、民治、民享的政府在两百年后仍然保持着生命力。这就是你们的胜利！

我明白，你们所做的这些，并不仅仅是为了赢得这次竞选，也不单单只是为了我本人。你们之所以这么做，是因为你们懂得前方任务的艰巨。即使我们今晚沉浸于庆祝的喜悦之中，我们也深知明天将会面临的将是我们这辈子最为艰巨的挑战：两场战争、濒临危险的地球和百年一遇的金融危机；即使今晚我们安然站在此处，我们也深知那些深陷伊拉克沙漠和阿富汗山区的英勇美国战士，是为了我们而冒着生命危险。还有那些孩子早已熟睡、自己却辗转反侧的人父人母，他们夜不能寐，想着如何还清房贷、如何支付医药费以及给孩子存下大学经费。我们要掌握新能源，创造就业岗位，建造新校舍，正视存在的威胁，并修复与盟友的关系。

第三篇：奥巴马2012大选胜选演讲

奥巴马2012大选胜选演讲（中文字幕）

时长：23'27'' 来源：腾讯视频

6日晚，芝加哥麦考密克会展中心演讲台已经搭好，四周都是奥巴马的支持者，或坐或站。

罗姆尼先“演说”

现场音乐声很大，一刻不停，人们说话都要用喊；本来并不暖和的展馆，人们挨得太近，变得很热；人们疲劳了，但是仍然挥舞着国旗，等待奥巴马。

“罗姆尼5分钟后就要发表演说啦！”晚上近12点的时候，这个消息在支持者中间迅速地传播。

7日凌晨，大屏幕上果然出现了罗姆尼的画面。“我祝贺奥巴马获得胜利，他的支持者和团队也应受到赞誉。”奥巴马的“粉丝”对罗姆尼的开场白报以掌声。

短短几分钟的演讲结束后，演讲台的幕布突然拉开，露出了后面整整齐齐坐着的一队支持者，每个人手里都拿着一面小国旗。他们可能是为媒体拍照和直播总统演讲做背景。

大屏幕播放了一段奥巴马的宣传片，人们看完之后明显开始激动，齐声高喊“再来4年”、“准备好了”。

几首庆祝音乐不断播放，奥巴马还没有来。

“奥巴马来了”

凌晨，将近20分钟的等待，就在人们都开始揉腿扭腰的时候——奥巴马来了。

一扫一天前的哀伤，胜利后的奥巴马显得神采飞扬。他的开场白是一连串的“谢谢你们”。

奥巴马说：“我们前路艰难，旅程长久，但是我们准备抗争，美国最好的时刻还没有到来。”“是的，好。”记者身边一位高大的中年选民随声附和。

“我知道，政治竞选有时候看起来很愚蠢。这为愤世嫉俗者们提供了很多素材。他们说，政治不过是为特殊利益集团服务的游戏，但是，如果有机会和支持者对话，或者看到志愿者远离家乡，在偏远县城里工作到深夜，这个时候，你会发现一些不同。”

当展馆上空飘下无数彩色纸屑，奥巴马以“谢谢”结束演讲。他、副总统拜登及两人的家人一起在台上对观众挥手致意，当所有人都已经走入后台，走在最后的奥巴马又转回身，对着台下的支持者挥手。

■ 现场

本报记者现场直击奥巴马大本营胜利之夜

加州“救了”奥巴马

当地时间6日晚，芝加哥飘起蒙蒙细雨，一向冷清的麦考密克会展中心却聚集了上万人。大家在等待奥巴马到来，发表获胜演说。这里，是民主党大选之夜的庆祝举办地。奥巴马的胜利之夜，简陋的场馆成了人的海洋。

老妇疲劳栽倒

6日整整一天，奥巴马都在“大本营”芝加哥度过，有人说他呆在自己家中，静静等待结果；有人说他在打篮球。一天前，奥巴马在艾奥瓦州结束了最后的竞选活动，激动得泣不成声。

“我的男孩，奥巴马，他一定能赢。”黑人选民赛缪·阿德狄亚姆对记者说，“罗姆尼领先，那都是谎言，他们不愿意看到一位黑人总统。”

“奥巴马为中产阶级和工人着想，而不是为了富人着想。他一定能赢。”亚裔选民艾丽卡激动地说。

“今晚感觉非常好”、“再来4年”、“一定能赢”的声音在支持者们进场的时候此起彼伏。入场通道两旁，一侧是媒体记者的长枪短炮，闪光灯不住闪烁，待遇有点像走奥斯卡红毯的感觉；另一侧是大批没有座位的支持者，一直站在那里几个小时。有一名老妇人因为体力不支而栽倒，不过她被人们扶起来后，并没有离去。

加州成转折点

大厅内放着好几个大屏幕，上面不停播放奥巴马和拜登的宣传片。从6日晚8点多开始，大屏幕便不断插播计票结束州的结果。

开始时，只要播放奥巴马获胜的州，人群就爆发出欢呼声。但到9点多，当奥巴马的得票一度落后，罗姆尼似乎遥遥领先时，一位媒体记者不禁惊叫：“我的天啊。”

在播放罗姆尼获胜州票数的时候，全场似乎都安静了。转到奥巴马的时候，欢呼也不再如开始那么热烈。

转折出现在加州！主持人宣布：“奥巴马赢得加州！”55张选举人票收入囊中，总比分立即超出。

支持者喜极而泣

随后的胜利越来越多——10点多，奥巴马赢得艾奥瓦州、新墨西哥州„„人们越来越兴奋，互相拥抱欢呼。坐在座位上的支持者纷纷站了起来，大声欢呼。

胜利来得令人猝不及防。几分钟后，大屏幕突然显示：突发新闻，奥巴马获得273票！很多人愣了一下子，然后都说“赢了，奥巴马赢了”。

人群沸腾了，记者开始满场奔跑，支持者互相拥抱，喜极而泣，人们纷纷喊着“奥巴马，奥巴马”，随着乐曲跳起舞蹈„„

■ 对手

败选演讲罗姆尼称心系美国

6日晚，罗姆尼在波士顿对支持者发表了简短的败选演说。这位第二次竞选总统失败的亿万富翁说，他之所以参加竞选，是出于对国家的关切。

“我刚刚打电话给奥巴马总统，祝贺他的胜利。”罗姆尼开头便说，“他的支持者和他的竞选阵营都值得这一祝贺。”

接下来，罗姆尼的演讲充满了感谢言辞，他逐一向他的搭档——副总统候选人瑞恩，妻子安，为他拉票的儿子们，竞选团队的领头人，以及遍及全国的志愿者、筹款人、捐款者表示感谢。

“在过去数年的时间里，你们所做的努力是无与伦比的，真的谢谢你们！”罗姆尼说。

表达完谢意后，罗姆尼将话题转到美国现状。他说，美国正处在一个关键的时刻，“我们不能将时间花费到党派之争和政治作秀上，我们的领导人必须克服困难，为民众服务。而我们公民们，也应该参与进来。”

罗姆尼说，他之所以参加竞选，是出于对国家的关切。他“提醒”奥巴马，不应忘记美国立国原则，“我深信，这个国家赖以立国的基本理念，才是我们恢复经济，复兴国家的唯一指导”。

罗姆尼最后说，他和自己的支持者，都会为奥巴马祈祷，尽管他与后者领导这个国家的理念不同。

“我如此希望我能像你们所期待的那样，领导这个国家走一条不同的路，但民众选择了另一位领导人。因此，安和我要和你们一起，真诚地为他（奥巴马）祈祷，为这个伟大的国家祈祷。谢谢你们，上帝保佑美国。”（百千）

●我想感谢每一位亲身参与大选的美国人。无论这是你第一次投票，或是在队伍中等待了很久；无论你是步行前往，还是拿起电话；无论你举的牌子上，写的是奥巴马还是罗姆尼。你的声音都会被听到，你也一样带来了改变。

●20年前，如果没有那位同意嫁给我的女人，我今天也不可能站在这里。让我告诉所有人吧：米歇尔，我对你的爱，是如此深切。我也看到，作为第一夫人，你也赢得了除我外其他美国人的爱。对此，我是如此的骄傲自豪。

●在这个有着三亿人口的国家中，民主会显得喧哗、混乱、复杂。我们有自己的观点，每个人都有自己坚定的信仰。当面对困难的时候，当我们的国家需要作出重大的决定的时候，它必然会激发热情，掀起争议。这些在今晚之后都不会改变，也不应被改变。这些争论是我们自由的印记。

——奥巴马胜选演讲摘要

第四篇：奥巴马胜选演讲中英全文

你好，芝加哥。

如果还有人怀疑美国是一切梦想可以成真的地方，如果还有人犹疑我们奠基人的理想在我们这个时代是否仍然存在，如果还有人质疑我们民主的威力，那么今晚就是对他们的回答。

这个回答来自学校和教堂外我国空前未见的长队，来自那些等候三、四个小时——很多是有生以来第一次投票——的人：因为他们相信这次必须改变，而且自己的声音有可能促成改变。

这个回答来自年轻人和老年人，富人和穷人，民主党人和共和党人，黑人、白人、拉美裔人、亚裔人和印第安人，同性恋人和异性恋人，残疾人和健全人。美国人民向全世界表明，我们绝不仅仅是一群个体或一组红蓝州。

我们是、而且将永远是美利坚合众国。

这个回答使那些太久以来因太多人的话而变得冷漠、恐惧和怀疑的人，使他们伸手推助历史之弧，使之再次转向更美好的希望。来路漫长，但今晚，由于我们在今天、在这次选举、在这个决定性时刻的作为，变革在美国降临。

今晚早些时候，我接到了麦凯恩参议员打来的风度非凡的电话。麦凯恩参议员在这次竞选中进行了持久而执著的选战。而他为这个他热爱的国家所进行的奋战更持久、更执著。他对美国的奉献，是我们许多人无以想像的。我们因为这位勇敢无私的领袖所作出的奉献而受益。

我祝贺他，我祝贺佩林州长，祝贺他们取得的一切成就。我期待着今后几个月与他们共同努力，重振这个国家的希望。

我要感谢我在这一征途中的竞选伙伴，一个凭心声竞选的人，一个为在斯克兰顿城共同长大的邻舍和为他从特拉华州的家乘火车通勤路上共处的普通百姓代言的人，他就是美国当选副总统乔·拜登。如果没有过去16年来我最知心的朋友的不懈支持，我今晚不会站在这里。她是我们家的基石，我生命中的挚爱，我们国家的下一位第一夫人，米歇尔·奥巴马。萨夏和马莉娅，你们无法知道我是多么爱你们。你们现在可以得到一只新的小狗了，它将跟我们一起去新的白宫。

虽然我的外祖母已经离开了我们，但我知道她正在和塑造了我的各位家人一道注视着这里。今晚我在想念他们。我知道我对他们的恩惠是感激不尽的。

我的妹妹玛雅，我的妹妹阿尔玛、我所有的兄弟姐妹们，非常感谢你们给以我的所有支持。我很感激。

我要感谢我的竞选经理戴维·普洛夫，这位竞选中默默无闻的英雄，是他组织了我认为是美国历史上最完美的政治选战。

我要感谢我的首席竞选策划人戴维·阿克塞尔罗德，他是我征途每一步的合作伙伴。

我要感谢政治史上首屈一指的竞选班子。你们使这一切得以实现，我永远感激你们为完成竞选所作的奉献。

但是，最重要的是，我永远不会忘记这场竞选真正的胜利者。它属于你们。它属于你们。我从来不是最有可能担任这一职务的候选人。我们开始没有多少资金或支持。我们的竞选不是诞生在华盛顿的议会大厅，而是起始于得梅因市的邻里后院、康科德市的起居室和查尔斯顿市的房前门廊。它是靠工薪男女民众为这项事业从自己不多的积蓄里拿出5美元、10美元和20美元而发展起来的。

它通过年轻人而增强了力量──他们打破了被说成是冷漠的一代的不实之言，离开家乡和亲人，担当起酬劳甚微、睡眠更少的工作。

它通过不那么年轻的人而增强了力量──他们冒着严寒酷暑去敲开陌生人家的大门；还有那些自愿组织起来的数百万美国人──他们证明，在两个多世纪以后，民有、民治和民享的政府没有从地球上消亡。这是你们的胜利。

我知道，你们这样做不只是为了赢得一场选举。我知道你们这样做不是为了我。

你们这样做是因为你们知道我们前面的任务多么艰巨。就在我们今晚欢庆胜利的同时，我们知道明天将带给我们的是一生中最大的挑战──两个战争、濒危的地球、百年来最严重的金融危机。就在今晚我们站在这里的同时，我们知道，美国的勇士们正从伊拉克的沙漠和阿富汗的崇山中醒来，将为了我们而冒生命危险。有多少父母在孩子入睡后愁绪难眠，不知如何支付房产贷款和医疗账单，不知如何为孩子备足大学学费。

我们要聚起新的力量，创造新的就业机会，建立新的学校，要应对威胁，修复同盟关系。

前面的道路是漫长的。攀登是艰难陡峭的。我们可能无法在一年内，甚至一个任期内实现目标。然而，美国，我从未像今晚这样对我们必将实现目标充满信心。我向你们保证，我们作为一国同胞必将实现目标。

会有挫折和错步。有很多人不会对我身为总统作出的每项决定或制定的每项政策都表示赞同。而且我们知道，政府不能解决一切问题。

但对于我们所面临的挑战，我会始终对你们坦诚相告。我会听取你们的意见，特别是在我们有分歧的时候。而最重要的是，我会呼吁你们加入重建这个国家的努力，221年来筑就美国的惟一途径是──凭着一砖一瓦，还有一双双长满老茧的手。Hello, Chicago.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.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'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 of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.We are, and always will be, 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.2 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.A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen.McCain.Sen.McCain fought long and hard in this campaign.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 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.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.Sasha and Malia, I love you both more than you can imagine.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.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.But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to.It belongs to you.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.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.3 It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not perished from the Earth.This is your victory.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.The road ahead will be long.Our climb will be steep.We may not get there in one year or even in one term.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.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.But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face.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.

第五篇：奥巴马20121107胜选演讲全文

Thank you so much.Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward.It moves forward because of you.It moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over war and depression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair to the great heights of hope, the belief that while each of us will pursue our own individual dreams, we are an American family and we rise or fall together as one nation and as one people.Tonight, in this election, you, the American people, reminded us that while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back, and we know in our hearts that for the United States of America the best is yet to come.I want to thank every American who participated in this election, whether you voted for the very first time or waited in line for a very long time.By the way, we have to fix that.Whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone, whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you made your voice heard and you made a difference.I just spoke with Gov.Romney and I congratulated him and Paul Ryan on a hard-fought campaign.We may have battled fiercely, but it’s only because we love this country deeply and we care so strongly about its future.From George to Lenore to their son Mitt, the Romney family has chosen to give back to America through public service and that is the legacy that we honor and applaud tonight.In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Gov.Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward.I want to thank my friend and partner of the last four years, America’s happy warrior, the best vice president anybody could ever hope for, Joe Biden.And I wouldn’t be the man I am today without the woman who agreed to marry me 20 years ago.Let me say this publicly: Michelle, I have never loved you more.I have never been prouder to watch the rest of America fall in love with you, too, as our nation’s first lady.Sasha and Malia, before our very eyes you’re growing up to become two strong, smart beautiful young women, just like your mom.And I’m so proud of you guys.But I will say that for now one dog’s probably enough.To the best campaign team and volunteers in the history of politics.The best.The best ever.Some of you were new this time around, and some of you have been at my side since the very beginning.But all of you are family.No matter what you do or where you go from here, you will carry the memory of the history we made together and you will have the lifelong appreciation of a grateful president.Thank you for believing all the way, through every hill, through every valley.You lifted me up the whole way and I will always be grateful for everything that you’ve done and all the incredible work that you put in.I know that political campaigns can sometimes seem small, even silly.And that provides plenty of fodder for the cynics that tell us that politics is nothing more than a contest of egos or the domain of special interests.But if you ever get the chance to talk to folks who turned out at our rallies and crowded along a rope line in a high school gym, or saw folks working late in a campaign office in some tiny county far away from home, you’ll discover something else.You’ll hear the determination in the voice of a young field organizer who’s working his way through college and wants to make sure every child has that same opportunity.You’ll hear the pride in the voice of a volunteer who’s going door to door because her brother was finally hired when the local auto plant added another shift.You’ll hear the deep patriotism in the voice of a military spouse who’s working the phones late at night to make sure that no one who fights for this country ever has to fight for a job or a roof over their head when they come home.That’s why we do this.That’s what politics can be.That’s why elections matter.It’s not small, it’s big.It’s important.Democracy in a nation of 300 million can be noisy and messy and complicated.We have our own opinions.Each of us has deeply held beliefs.And when we go through tough times, when we make big decisions as a country, it necessarily stirs passions, stirs up controversy.That won’t change after tonight, and it shouldn’t.These arguments we have are a mark of our liberty.We can never forget that as we speak people in distant nations are risking their lives right now just for a chance to argue about the issues that matter, the chance to cast their ballots like we did today.But despite all our differences, most of us share certain hopes for America’s future.We want our kids to grow up in a country where they have access to the best schools and the best teachers.A country that lives up to its legacy as the global leader in technology and discovery and innovation, with all the good jobs and new businesses that follow.We want our children to live in an America that isn’t burdened by debt, that isn’t weakened by inequality, that isn’t threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet.We want to pass on a country that’s safe and respected and admired around the world, a nation that is defended by the strongest military on earth and the best troops this – this world has ever known.But also a country that moves with confidence beyond this time of war, to shape a peace that is built on the promise of freedom and dignity for every human being.We believe in a generous America, in a compassionate America, in a tolerant America, open to the dreams of an immigrant’s daughter who studies in our schools and pledges to our flag.To the young boy on the south side of Chicago who sees a life beyond the nearest street corner.To the furniture worker’s child in North Carolina who wants to become a doctor or a scientist, an engineer or an entrepreneur, a diplomat or even a president – that’s the future we hope for.That’s the vision we share.That’s where we need to go – forward.That’s where we need to go.Now, we will disagree, sometimes fiercely, about how to get there.As it has for more than two centuries, progress will come in fits and starts.It’s not always a straight line.It’s not always a smooth path.By itself, the recognition that we have common hopes and dreams won’t end all the gridlock or solve all our problems or substitute for the painstaking work of building consensus and making the difficult compromises needed to move this country forward.But that common bond is where we must begin.Our economy is recovering.A decade of war is ending.A long campaign is now over.And whether I earned your vote or not, I have listened to you, I have learned from you, and you’ve made me a better president.And with your stories and your struggles, I return to the White House more determined and more inspired than ever about the work there is to do and the future that lies ahead.Tonight you voted for action, not politics as usual.You elected us to focus on your jobs, not ours.And in the coming weeks and months, I am looking forward to reaching out and working with leaders of both parties to meet the challenges we can only solve together.Reducing our deficit.Reforming our tax code.Fixing our immigration system.Freeing ourselves from foreign oil.We’ve got more work to do.But that doesn’t mean your work is done.The role of citizen in our democracy does not end with your vote.America’s never been about what can be done for us.It’s about what can be done by us together through the hard and frustrating, but necessary work of self-government.That’s the principle we were founded on.This country has more wealth than any nation, but that’s not what makes us rich.We have the most powerful military in history, but that’s not what makes us strong.Our university, our culture are all the envy of the world, but that’s not what keeps the world coming to our shores.What makes America exceptional are the bonds that hold together the most diverse nation on earth.The belief that our destiny is shared;that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another and to future generations.The freedom which so many Americans have fought for and died for come with responsibilities as well as rights.And among those are love and charity and duty and patriotism.That’s what makes America great.I am hopeful tonight because I’ve seen the spirit at work in America.I’ve seen it in the family business whose owners would rather cut their own pay than lay off their neighbors, and in the workers who would rather cut back their hours than see a friend lose a job.I’ve seen it in the soldiers who reenlist after losing a limb and in those SEALs who charged up the stairs into darkness and danger because they knew there was a buddy behind them watching their back.I’ve seen it on the shores of New Jersey and New York, where leaders from every party and level of government have swept aside their differences to help a community rebuild from the wreckage of a terrible storm.And I saw just the other day, in Mentor, Ohio, where a father told the story of his 8-year-old daughter, whose long battle with leukemia nearly cost their family everything had it not been for health care reform passing just a few months before the insurance company was about to stop paying for her care.I had an opportunity to not just talk to the father, but meet this incredible daughter of his.And when he spoke to the crowd listening to that father’s story, every parent in that room had tears in their eyes, because we knew that little girl could be our own.And I know that every American wants her future to be just as bright.That’s who we are.That’s the country I’m so proud to lead as your president.And tonight, despite all the hardship we’ve been through, despite all the frustrations of Washington, I’ve never been more hopeful about our future.I have never been more hopeful about America.And I ask you to sustain that hope.I’m not talking about blind optimism, the kind of hope that just ignores the enormity of the tasks ahead or the roadblocks that stand in our path.I’m not talking about the wishful idealism that allows us to just sit on the sidelines or shirk from a fight.I have always believed that hope is that stubborn thing inside us that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us so long as we have the courage to keep reaching, to keep working, to keep fighting.America, I believe we can build on the progress we’ve made and continue to fight for new jobs and new opportunity and new security for the middle class.I believe we can keep the promise of our founders, the idea that if you’re willing to work hard, it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from or what you look like or where you love.It doesn’t matter whether you’re black or white or Hispanic or Asian or Native American or young or old or rich or poor, able, disabled, gay or straight, you can make it here in America if you’re willing to try.I believe we can seize this future together because we are not as divided as our politics suggests.We’re not as cynical as the pundits believe.We are greater than the sum of our individual ambitions, and we remain more than a collection of red states and blue states.We are and forever will be the United States of America.And together with your help and God’s grace we will continue our journey forward and remind the world just why it is that we live in the greatest nation on Earth.Thank you, America.God bless you.God bless these United States.
