美国前总统比尔·克林顿在2012年9月5日民主党全国代表大会上的演讲

第一篇：美国前总统比尔·克林顿在2012年9月5日民主党全国代表大会上的演讲

A transcript of former President Bill Clinton's remarks Wednesday night at the Democratic National Convention, as provided by the Democratic Party:

We're here to nominate a president, and I've got one in mind.I want to nominate a man whose own life has known its fair share of adversity and uncertainty.A man who ran for president to change the course of an already weak economy and then just six weeks before the election, saw it suffer the biggest collapse since the Great Depression.A man who stopped the slide into depression and put us on the long road to recovery, knowing all the while that no matter how many jobs were created and saved, there were still millions more waiting, trying to feed their children and keep their hopes alive.I want to nominate a man cool on the outside but burning for America on the inside.A man who believes we can build a new American Dream economy driven by innovation and creativity, education and cooperation.A man who had the good sense to marry Michelle Obama.I want Barack Obama to be the next president of the United States and I proudly nominate him as the standard bearer of the Democratic Party.In Tampa, we heard a lot of talk about how the president and the Democrats don't believe in free enterprise and individual initiative, how we want everyone to be dependent on the government, how bad we are for the economy.The Republican narrative is that all of us who amount to anything are completely self-made.One of our greatest Democratic chairmen, Bob Strauss, used to say that every politician wants you to believe he was born in a log cabin he built himself, but it ain't so.We Democrats think the country works better with a strong middle class, real opportunities for poor people to work their way into it and a relentless focus on the future, with business and government working together to promote growth and broadly shared prosperity.We think “we're all in this together” is a better philosophy than “you're on your own.”

Who's right? Well, since 1961, the Republicans have held the White House 28 years, the Democrats 24.In those 52 years, our economy produced 66 million private sector jobs.What's the jobs score? Republicans 24 million, Democrats 42 million.It turns out that advancing equal opportunity and economic empowerment is both morally right and good economics, because discrimination, poverty and ignorance restrict growth, while investments in education, infrastructure and scientific and technological research increase it, creating more good jobs and new wealth for all of us.Though I often disagree with Republicans, I never learned to hate them the way the far right that now controls their party seems to hate President Obama and the Democrats.After all, President Eisenhower sent federal troops to my home state to integrate Little Rock Central High and built the interstate highway system.And as governor, I worked with President Reagan on welfare reform and with President George H.W.Bush on national education goals.I am grateful to President George W.Bush for PEPFAR, which is saving the lives of millions of people in poor countries and to both Presidents Bush for the work we've done together after the South Asia tsunami, Hurricane Katrina and the Haitian earthquake.Through my foundation, in America and around the world, I work with Democrats, Republicans and Independents who are focused on solving problems and seizing opportunities, not fighting each other.When times are tough, constant conflict may be good politics but in the real world, cooperation works better.After all, nobody's right all the time, and a broken clock is right twice a day.All of us are destined to live our lives between those two extremes.Unfortunately, the faction that now dominates the Republican Party doesn't see it that way.They think government is the enemy, and compromise is weakness.One of the main reasons America should re-elect President Obama is that he is still committed to cooperation.He appointed Republican secretaries of defense, the army and transportation.He appointed a vice president who ran against him in 2008, and trusted him to oversee the successful end of the war in Iraq and the implementation of the recovery act.And Joe Biden did a great job with both.He appointed Cabinet members who supported Hillary in the primaries.Heck, he even appointed Hillary.I'm so proud of her and grateful to our entire national security team for all they've done to make us safer and stronger and to build a world with more partners and fewer enemies.I'm also grateful to the young men and women who serve our country in the military and to Michelle Obama and Jill Biden for supporting military families when their loved ones are overseas and for helping our veterans, when they come home bearing the wounds of war, or needing help with education, housing, and jobs.President Obama's record on national security is a tribute to his strength, and judgment, and to his preference for inclusion and partnership over partisanship.He also tried to work with congressional Republicans on health care, debt reduction, and jobs, but that didn't work out so well.Probably because, as the Senate Republican leader, in a remarkable moment of candor, said two years before the election, their No.1 priority was not to put America back to work, but to put President Obama out of work.Senator, I hate to break it to you, but we're going to keep President Obama on the job.In Tampa, the Republican argument against the president's re-election was pretty simple: we left him a total mess, he hasn't cleaned it up fast enough, so fire him and put us back in.In order to look like an acceptable alternative to President Obama, they couldn't say much about the ideas they have offered over the last two years.You see they want to go back to the same old policies that got us into trouble in the first place: to cut taxes for high income Americans even more than President Bush did;to get rid of those pesky financial regulations designed to prevent another crash and prohibit future bailouts;to increase defense spending $2 trillion more than the Pentagon has requested without saying what they'll spend the money on;to make enormous cuts in the rest of the budget, especially programs that help the middle class and poor kids.As another president once said_ there they go again.I like the argument for President Obama's re-election a lot better.He inherited a deeply damaged economy, put a floor under the crash, began the long hard road to recovery, and laid the foundation for a modern, more well-balanced economy that will produce millions of good new jobs, vibrant new businesses, and lots of new wealth for the innovators.Are we where we want to be? No.Is the president satisfied? No.Are we better off than we were when he took office, with an economy in free fall, losing 750,000 jobs a month.The answer is yes.I understand the challenge we face.I know many Americans are still angry and frustrated with the economy.Though employment is growing, banks are beginning to lend and even housing prices are picking up a bit, too many people don't feel it.I experienced the same thing in 1994 and early 1995.Our policies were working and the economy was growing but most people didn't feel it yet.By 1996, the economy was roaring, halfway through the longest peacetime expansion in American history.President Obama started with a much weaker economy than I did.No president_ not me or any of my predecessors could have repaired all the damage in just four years.But conditions are improving and if you'll renew the President's contract you will feel it.I believe that with all my heart.President Obama's approach embodies the values, the ideas, and the direction America must take to build a 21st century version of the American Dream in a nation of shared opportunities, shared prosperity and shared responsibilities.So back to the story.In 2010, as the president's recovery program kicked in, the job losses stopped and things began to turn around.The Recovery Act saved and created millions of jobs and cut taxes for 95 percent of the American people.In the last 29 months the economy has produced about 4.5 million private sector jobs.But last year, the Republicans blocked the president's jobs plan costing the economy more than a million new jobs.So here's another jobs score: President Obama plus 4.5 million, congressional Republicans zero.Over that same period, more than more than 500,000 manufacturing jobs have been created under President Obama_ the first time manufacturing jobs have increased since the 1990s.The auto industry restructuring worked.It saved more than a million jobs, not just at GM, Chrysler and their dealerships, but in auto parts manufacturing all over the country.That's why even auto-makers that weren't part of the deal supported it.They needed to save the suppliers too.Like I said, we're all in this together.Now there are 250,000 more people working in the auto industry than the day the companies were restructured.Gov.Romney opposed the plan to save GM and Chrysler.So here's another jobs score: Obama 250,000, Romney, zero.The agreement the administration made with management, labor and environmental groups to double car mileage over the next few years is another good deal: it will cut your gas bill in half, make us more energy independent, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and add another 500,000 good jobs.President Obama's “all of the above” energy plan is helping too_ the boom in oil and gas production combined with greater energy efficiency has driven oil imports to a near 20 year low and natural gas production to an all-time high.Renewable energy production has also doubled.We do need more new jobs, lots of them, but there are already more than three million jobs open and unfilled in America today, mostly because the applicants don't have the required skills.We have to prepare more Americans for the new jobs that are being created in a world fueled by new technology.That's why investments in our people are more important than ever.The president has supported community colleges and employers in working together to train people for open jobs in their communities.And, after a decade in which exploding college costs have increased the drop-out rate so much that we've fallen to 16th in the world in the percentage of our young adults with college degrees, his student loan reform lowers the cost of federal student loans and even more important, gives students the right to repay the loans as a fixed percentage of their incomes for up to 20 years.That means no one will have to drop-out of college for fear they can't repay their debt, and no one will have to turn down a job, as a teacher, a police officer or a small town doctor because it doesn't pay enough to make the debt payments.This will change the future for young Americans.I know we're better off because President Obama made these decisions.That brings me to health care.The Republicans call it Obamacare and say it's a government takeover of health care that they'll repeal.Are they right? Let's look at what's happened so far.Individuals and businesses have secured more than a billion dollars in refunds from their insurance premiums because the new law requires 80 percent to 85 pecent of your premiums to be spent on health care, not profits or promotion.Other insurance companies have lowered their rates to meet the requirement.More than 3 million young people between 19 and 25 are insured for the first time because their parents can now carry them on family policies.Millions of seniors are receiving preventive care including breast cancer screenings and tests for heart problems.Soon the insurance companies, not the government, will have millions of new customers many of them middle class people with pre-existing conditions.And for the last two years, health care spending has grown under 4 pecent, for the first time in 50 years.So are we all better off because President Obama fought for it and passed it? You bet we are.There were two other attacks on the president in Tampa that deserve an answer.Both Gov.Romney and congressman Ryan attacked the president for allegedly robbing Medicare of $716 billion.Here's what really happened.There were no cuts to benefits.None.What the president did was save money by cutting unwarranted subsidies to providers and insurance companies that weren't making people any healthier.He used the saving to close the donut hole in the Medicare drug program, and to add eight years to the life of the Medicare Trust Fund.It's now solvent until 2024.So President Obama and the Democrats didn't weaken Medicare, they strengthened it.When congressman Ryan looked into the TV camera and attacked President Obama's “biggest coldest power play” in raiding Medicare, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.You see, that $716 billion is exactly the same amount of Medicare savings congressman Ryan had in his own budget.At least on this one, Gov.Romney's been consistent.He wants to repeal the savings and give the money back to the insurance companies, re-open the donut hole and force seniors to pay more for drugs, and reduce the life of the Medicare Trust Fund by eight years.So now if he's elected and does what he promised Medicare will go broke by 2016.If that happens, you won't have to wait until their voucher program to begins in 2023 to see the end Medicare as we know it.But it gets worse.They also want to block grant Medicaid and cut it by a third over the coming decade.Of course, that will hurt poor kids, but that's not all.Almost two-thirds of Medicaid is spent on nursing home care for seniors and on people with disabilities, including kids from middle class families, with special needs like, Down syndrome or autism.I don't know how those families are going to deal with it.We can't let it happen

Now let's look at the Republican charge that President Obama wants to weaken the work requirements in the welfare reform bill I signed that moved millions of people from welfare to work.Here's what happened.When some Republican governors asked to try new ways to put people on welfare back to work, the Obama administration said they would only do it if they had a credible plan to increase employment by 20 percent.You hear that? More work.So the claim that President Obama weakened welfare reform's work requirement is just not true.But they keep running ads on it.As their campaign pollster said “we're not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact checkers.” Now that is true.I couldn't have said it better myself_ I just hope you remember that every time you see the ad.Let's talk about the debt.We have to deal with it or it will deal with us.President Obama has offered a plan with $4 trillion in debt reduction over a decade, with $2 of spending reductions for every $1 of revenue increases, and tight controls on future spending.It's the kind of balanced approach proposed by the bipartisan Simpson-Bowles commission.I think the president's plan is better than the Romney plan, because the Romney plan fails the first test of fiscal responsibility: The numbers don't add up.It's supposed to be a debt reduction plan but it begins with $5 trillion in tax cuts over a 10-year period.That makes the debt hole bigger before they even start to dig out.They say they'll make it up by eliminating loopholes in the tax code.When you ask “which loopholes and how much?” they say, “See me after the election on that.”

People ask me all the time how we delivered four surplus budgets.What new ideas did we bring? I always give a one-word answer: arithmetic.If they stay with a $5 trillion tax cut in a debt reduction plan_ the_ arithmetic tells us that one of three things will happen:

1)they'll have to eliminate so many deductions like the ones for home mortgages and charitable giving that middle class families will see their tax bill go up $2,000 year while people making over $3 million a year get will still get a 250,000 dollar tax cut;or

2)they'll have to cut so much spending that they'll obliterate the budget for our national parks, for ensuring clean air, clean water, safe food, safe air travel;or they'll cut way back on Pell Grants, college loans, early childhood education and other programs that help middle class families and poor children, not to mention cutting investments in roads, bridges, science, technology and medical research;or

3)they'll do what they've been doing for thirty plus years now_ cut taxes more than they cut spending, explode the debt, and weaken the economy.Remember, Republican economic policies quadrupled the debt before I took office and doubled it after I left.We simply can't afford to double-down on trickle-down.President Obama's plan cuts the debt, honors our values, and brightens the future for our children, our families and our nation.My fellow Americans, you have to decide what kind of country you want to live in.If you want a you're on your own, winner take all society you should support the Republican ticket.If you want a country of shared opportunities and shared responsibilities_ a “we're all in it together” society, you should vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden.If you want every American to vote and you think it's wrong to change voting procedures just to reduce the turnout of younger, poorer, minority and disabled voters, you should support Barack Obama.If you think the president was right to open the doors of American opportunity to young immigrants brought here as children who want to go to college or serve in the military, you should vote for Barack Obama.If you want a future of shared prosperity, where the middle class is growing and poverty is declining, where the American Dream is alive and well, and where the United States remains the leading force for peace and prosperity in a highly competitive world, you should vote for Barack Obama.I love our country_ and I know we're coming back.For more than 200 years, through every crisis, we've always come out stronger than we went in.And we will again as long as we do it together.We champion the cause for which our founders pledged their lives, their fortunes, their sacred honor_ to form a more perfect union.If that's what you believe, if that's what you want, we have to re-elect President Barack Obama.God bless you _ God bless America.

Bill Clinton's address at 2004 Democratic National Convention

7月26日傍晚，美国民主党全国代表大会在波士顿正式开幕。大会会场所在地——波士顿富里特中心一直是NBA老牌劲旅波士顿凯尔特人队的主场，现在成为了欢乐的海洋，成为了全美民主党人2004年总统大选的誓师会场，4353名民主党政要会聚一堂，正式提名克里和爱德华兹为民主党总统和副总统候选人，发动“倒布”总攻。当晚最精彩的一幕，是前总统克林顿和夫人希拉里的压轴演讲。克林顿眼光锐利、思维流畅，演讲内容环环相扣、一气呵成,，许多人被深深打动,克林顿的此次登台，真的是让人从心眼里觉得，他天生就是一个“政治人物”。

President Bill Clinton:

Thank you.I am honored to share the podium with my Senator, though I think I should be introducing her.I'm proud of her and so grateful to the people of New York that the best public servant in our family is still on the job and grateful to all of you, especially my friends from Arkansas, for the chance you gave us to serve our country in the White House.I am also honored to share this night with President Carter, who has inspired the world with his work for peace, democracy, and human rights.And with Al Gore, my friend and partner for eight years, who played such a large role in building the prosperity and progress that brought America into the 21st century, who showed incredible grace and patriotism under pressure, and who is the living embodiment that every vote counts—and must be counted in every state in America.Tonight I speak as a citizen, returning to the role I have played for most of my life as a foot soldier in the fight for our future, as we nominate a true New England patriot for president.The state that gave us John Adams and John Kennedy has now given us John Kerry, a good man, a great senator, a visionary leader.We are constantly told America is deeply divided.But all Americans value freedom, faith, and family.We all honor the service and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the world.We all want good jobs, good schools, health care, safe streets, a clean environment.We all want our children to grow up in a secure America leading the world toward a peaceful future.Our differences are in how we can best achieve these things, in a time of unprecedented change.Therefore, we Democrats will bring the American people a positive campaign, arguing not who's good and who's bad, but what is the best way to build the safe, prosperous world our children deserve.The 21st century is marked by serious security threats, serious economic challenges, and serious problems like global warming and the AIDS epidemic.But it is also full of enormous 洛基国际英语

opportunities—to create millions of high paying jobs in clean energy, and biotechnology;to restore the manufacturing base and reap the benefits of the global economy through our diversity and our commitment to decent labor and environmental standards everywhere;and to create a world where we can celebrate our religious and racial differences, because our common humanity matters more.To build that kind of world we must make the right choices;and we must have a president who will lead the way.Democrats and Republicans have very different and honestly held ideas on that choices we should make, rooted in fundamentally different views of how we should meet our common challenges at home and how we should play our role in the world.Democrats want to build an America of shared responsibilities and shared opportunities and more global cooperation, acting alone only when we must.We think the role of government is to give people the tools and conditions to make the most of their lives.Republicans believe in an America run by the right people, their people, in a world in which we act unilaterally when we can, and cooperate when we have to.They think the role of government is to concentrate wealth and power in the hands of those who embrace their political, economic, and social views, leaving ordinary citizens to fend for themselves on matters like health care and retirement security.Since most Americans are not that far to the right, they have to portray us Democrats as unacceptable, lacking in strength and values.In other words, they need a divided America.But Americans long to be united.After 9/11, we all wanted to be one nation, strong in the fight against terror.The president had a great opportunity to bring us together under his slogan of compassionate conservatism and to unite the world in common cause against terror.Instead, he and his congressional allies made a very different choice: to use the moment of unity to push America too far to the right and to walk away from our allies, not only in attacking Iraq before the weapons inspectors finished their jobs, but in withdrawing American support for the Climate Change Treaty, the International Court for war criminals, the ABM treaty, and even the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.Now they are working to develop two new nuclear weapons which they say we might use first.At home, the President and the Republican Congress have made equally fateful choices indeed.For the first time ever when America was on a war footing, there were two huge tax cuts, nearly half of which went to the top one percent.I'm in that group now for the first time in my life.When I was in office, the Republicans were pretty mean to me.When I left and made money, I became part of the most important group in the world to them.At first I thought I should send them a thank you note—until I realized they were sending you the bill.They protected my tax cuts while: 洛基国际英语

· Withholding promised funding for the Leave No Child Behind Act, leaving over 2 million children behind

· Cutting 140,000 unemployed workers out of job training

· 100,000 working families out of child care assistance

· 300,000 poor children out of after school programs

· Raising out of pocket healthcare costs to veterans

· Weakening or reversing important environmental advances for clean air and the preservation of our forests.Everyone had to sacrifice except the wealthiest Americans, who wanted to do their part but were asked only to expend the energy necessary to open the envelopes containing our tax cuts.If you agree with these choices, you should vote to return them to the White House and Congress.If not, take a look at John Kerry, John Edwards and the Democrats.In this year's budget, the White House wants to cut off federal funding for 88,000 uniformed police, including more than 700 on the New York City police force who put their lives on the line on 9/11.As gang violence is rising and we look for terrorists in our midst, Congress and the President are also about to allow the ten-year-old ban on assault weapons to expire.Our crime policy was to put more police on the streets and take assault weapons off the streets.It brought eight years of declining crime and violence.Their policy is the reverse, they're taking police off the streets and putting assault weapons back on the streets.If you agree with their choices, vote to continue them.If not, join John Kerry, John Edwards and the Democrats in making America safer, smarter, and stronger.On Homeland Security, Democrats tried to double the number of containers at ports and airports checked for Weapons of Mass Destruction.The one billion dollar cost would have been paid for by reducing the tax cut of 200,000 millionaires by five thousand dollars each.Almost all 200,000 of us would have been glad to pay 5,000 dollars to make the nearly 300 million Americans safer—but the measure failed because the White House and the Republican leadership in the House decided my tax cut was more important-If you agree with that choice, re-elect them.If not, give John Kerry and John Edwards a chance.These policies have turned the projected 5.8 trillion dollar surplus we left—enough to pay for the baby boomers retirement—into a projected debt of nearly 5 trillion dollars, with a 400 plus billion dollar deficit this year and for years to come.How do they pay for it? First by taking the monthly surplus in Social Security payments and endorsing the checks of working people over to me to 洛基国际英语

cover my tax cut.But it's not enough.They are borrowing the rest from foreign governments, mostly Japan and China.Sure, they're competing with us for good jobs but how can we enforce our trade laws against our bankers? If you think it's good policy to pay for my tax cut with the Social Security checks of working men and women, and borrowed money from China, vote for them.If not, John Kerry's your man.We Americans must choose for President one of two strong men who both love our country, but who have very different worldviews: Democrats favor shared responsibility, shared opportunity, and more global cooperation.Republicans favor concentrated wealth and power, leaving people to fend for themselves and more unilateral action.I think we're right for two reasons: First, America works better when all people have a chance to live their dreams.Second, we live in an interdependent world in which we can't kill, jail, or occupy all our potential adversaries, so we have to both fight terror and build a world with more partners and fewer terrorists.We tried it their way for twelve years, our way for eight, and then their way for four more.By the only test that matters, whether people were better off when we finished than when we started, our way works better—it produced over 22 million good jobs, rising incomes, and 100 times as many people moving out of poverty into the middle class.It produced more health care, the largest increase in college aid in 50 years, record home ownership, a cleaner environment, three surpluses in a row, a modernized defense force, strong efforts against terror, and an America respected as a world leader for peace, security and prosperity.More importantly, we have great new champions in John Kerry and John Edwards.Two good men with wonderful wives—Teresa a generous and wise woman who understands the world we are trying to shape.And Elizabeth, a lawyer and mother who understands the lives we are all trying to lift.Here is what I know about John Kerry.During the Vietnam War, many young men—including the current president, the vice president and me—could have gone to Vietnam but didn't.John Kerry came from a privileged background and could have avoided it too.Instead he said, send me.When they sent those swift-boats up the river in Vietnam, and told them their job was to draw hostile fire—to show the American flag and bait the enemy to come out and fight—John Kerry said, send me.When it was time to heal the wounds of war and normalize relations with Vietnam—and to demand an accounting of the POWs and MIAs we lost there—John Kerry said, send me.When we needed someone to push the cause of inner-city kids struggling to avoid a life of crime, or to bring the benefits of high technology to ordinary Americans, or to clean the environment in a way that creates jobs, or to give small businesses a better chance to make it, John Kerry said send me.Tonight my friends, I ask you to join me for the next 100 days in telling John Kerry's story and promoting his plans.Let every person in this hall and all across America say to him what he has always said to America: Send Me.The bravery that the men who fought by his side saw in battle 洛基国际英语

I've seen in the political arena.When I was President, John Kerry showed courage and conviction on crime, on welfare reform, on balancing the budget at a time when those priorities were not exactly a way to win a popularity contest in our party.He took tough positions on tough problems.John Kerry knows who he is and where he's going.He has the experience, the character, the ideas and the values to be a great President.In a time of change he has two other important qualities: his insatiable curiosity to understand the forces shaping our lives, and a willingness to hear the views even of those who disagree with him.Therefore his choices will be full of both conviction and common sense.He proved that when he picked a tremendous partner in John Edwards.Everybody talks about John Edwards' energy, intellect, and charisma.The important thing is how he has used his talents to improve the lives of people who—like John himself—had to work hard for all they've got.He has always championed the cause of people too often left out or left behind.And that's what he'll do as our Vice President.Their opponents will tell you to be afraid of John Kerry and John Edwards, because they won't stand up to the terrorists—don't you believe it.Strength and wisdom are not conflicting values—they go hand in hand.John Kerry has both.His first priority will be keeping America safe.Remember the scripture: Be Not Afraid.John Kerry and John Edwards, have good ideas:

· To make this economy work again for middle-class Americans;

· To restore fiscal responsibility;

· To save Social Security;to make healthcare more affordable and college more available;

· To free us from dependence on foreign oil and create new jobs in clean energy;

· To rally the world to win the war on terror and to make more friends and fewer terrorists.At every turning point in our history we the people have chosen unity over division, heeding our founders' call to America's eternal mission: to form a more perfect union, to widen the circle of opportunity, deepen the reach of freedom, and strengthen the bonds of community.It happened because we made the right choices.In the early days of the republic, America was at a crossroads much like it is today, deeply divided over whether or not to build a real nation with a national economy, and a national legal system.We chose a more perfect union.In the Civil War, America was at a crossroads, divided over whether to save the union and end 洛基国际英语

slavery—we chose a more perfect union.In the 1960s, America was at a crossroads, divided again over civil rights and women's rights.Again, we chose a more perfect union.As I said in 1992, we're all in this together;we have an obligation both to work hard and to help our fellow citizens, both to fight terror and to build a world with more cooperation and less terror.Now again, it is time to choose.Since we're all in the same boat, let us chose as the captain of our ship a brave good man who knows how to steer a vessel though troubled waters to the calm seas and clear skies of our more perfect union.We know our mission.Let us join as one and say in a loud, clear voice: Send John Kerry.“成千上万人疯狂下载。。。

第三篇：克林顿在2004年美国民主党全国代表大会开幕式上的讲话

在2004年美国民主党全国代表大会开幕式上的讲话

7月26日傍晚，美国民主党全国代表大会在波士顿正式开幕。大会会场所在地——波士顿富里特中心一直是NBA老牌劲旅波士顿凯尔特人队的主场，现在成为了欢乐的海洋，成为了全美民主党人2004年总统大选的誓师会场，4353名民主党政要会聚一堂，正式提名克里和爱德华兹为民主党总统和副总统候选人，发动“倒布”总攻。当晚最精彩的一幕，是前总统克林顿和夫人希拉里的压轴演讲。

Senator Hillary Clinton: However, Twelve years ago, when our country needed new leadership, Americans elected a Democrat who gave us eight years of peace, prosperity, and promise.Tonight I have the pleasure of introducing the last great Democratic President.But first I want to say a few words about the next great Democratic president, John Kerry.We meet at a moment of great peril, but also of great hope.Together we can widen the circle of opportunity for all Americans, transcend our differences and divisions, and give our children a safer and more secure future.That's the promise of America.And John Kerry will renew that promise.He will lead the world, not alienate it.Lower the deficit, not raise it.Create good jobs, not lose them.Solve a health care crisis, not ignore it.I know a thing or two about health care.And the problems have only gotten worse in the past four years.We need to rededicate ourselves to the task of providing coverage for the 44 million Americans who are uninsured and the millions of others who face rising costs.We need to lift the ban on stem cell research, and find cures that will help millions of Americans.Health care is a serious issue that requires serious solutions and that's what John Kerry will give us.John Kerry will give America something else, a great vice president.I've served with John Edwards.He's smart, he's energetic, he's empathetic.And he understands the challenges that hard-working Americans face in their daily lives.Americans will be proud to have the Kerry-Edwards team in the White House, and they'll be proud to have their extraordinary partners, Teresa Heinz Kerry and Elizabeth Edwards, there as well.We've been through our share of challenges as Americans, from a Civil War to a Great Depression to World Wars and more.Today we face a new threat.Being a Senator from New York, I saw first-hand the devastation of 9/11.I visited Ground Zero right after we were attacked.I felt like I was standing at the Gates of Hell.I hope no American ever has to witness a sight like that again.That tragedy changed all of us.I know it changed me.And every day now, as a mother, as a Senator, and as an American I worry about whether we are acting as wisely as we can to protect our country and our people.Last week, the bipartisan 9/11 commission issued its report.It was a sober call to action that we ignore at our peril.John Kerry understands what's at stake.We need to fully equip and train our firefighters, police officers and emergency medical technicians-our first responders in the event of a terrorist attack.We need to secure our borders and our ports, as well as our chemical and nuclear plants.We need to reorganize our federal government to meet the new threats of these times.We need to make sure that homeland security is properly funded and that resources go to the areas at greatest risk.We need to take care of our men and women in uniform who risked their lives for our country.These brave Americans deserve better.We need to increase our troop strength, raise their pay, and provide veterans, the National Guard, and Reserve with the benefits they're entitled to.Do you know what we need to meet these challenges? We need John Kerry.John Kerry is a serious man, for a serious job.So let's work our hearts out and send him to the White House in 2004.And I'm optimistic we will because I know a great leader when I see one.And so does America.In 1992 and 1996, Americans chose a President who left our country in far better shape than when he took office.He still spends his days working to empower the powerless, promote racial, religious, and ethnic reconciliation, inspire young people to citizen service, and bring life saving medicines to people living with HIV/AIDS around the world.He showed Democrats how to win again.And so will John Kerry.Please welcome the 42nd President of the United States, Bill Clinton.
