奥巴马竞聘演讲稿
senator barack obama: (cheers, applause.) hello, chicago. (cheers, applause.)
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. (cheers, applause.)
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 -- (cheers) -- 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. (cheers, applause.)
it's the answer that -- 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. 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. (cheers, applause.)
a little bit earlier this evening, i received an extraordinarily gracious call from senator mccain. (cheers, applause.) senator 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 selfleleader. (applause.) i congratulate him, i congratulate governor palin for all they've achieved, and i look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead. (cheers, applause.)
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. (cheers, applause.)
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. (cheers, applause.)
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 white house. (cheers, applause.)
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 mithem tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure.
to my sister maya, my sister auma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you've given to me. i am grateful to them. (cheers, applause.)
and to my campaign manager, david plouffe -- (cheers, applause) -- the unsung hero of this campaign who built the best -- (cheers) -- the best political campaign i think in the history of the united states of america -- (cheers, applause) -- to my chief strategist, david axelrod -- (cheers, applause) -- who has been a partner with me every step of the way, to the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics -- (cheers) -- you made this happen, and i am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done. (cheers, applause.)
but above all, i will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. it belongs to you. (cheers, applause.) it belongs to you. (cheers.)
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. (cheers, applause.) it grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy -- (cheers) -- who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and lesleep. it drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the 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. (cheers, applause.)
now, 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 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. (cheers, applause.)
audience: yes, we can! yes, we can! yes, we can! yes, we can! yes, we can!
mr. obama: 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 rema-ki-ng 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.
what began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night. this victory alone is not the change we seek; it is only the chance for us to make that change.
