第一篇：奧巴馬2012勝選演講英文全文

“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）

美國是否暗藏一切皆有可能的巨大潛力？美國是否已經實現開國者鍛造的美國夢？民主信仰是否具有強大力量？如果還有人對此報以懷疑，那么今晚這里發生的一切就是答案。

學校旁、教堂邊，無數人都在排隊投票，這一情景我們已經多年未見；3個小時、4個小時，他們為此而等候良久，這是很多同胞有生以來的第一次。因為他們相信，這一次，將不同以往；這一次，因為他們的呼聲而有所不同。

無論老少貧富，無論共和黨抑或民主黨，不管是黑皮膚、白種人、拉丁后裔、亞裔子孫還是本土美國人；無論性向如何，不管健康抑或殘疾，所有的美國人民都向全世界傳遞出這樣一條信息：我們從來都不是紅藍陣營的政治堆砌，我們是，而且永遠是，美利堅合眾國。長期以來，很多人缺乏信心，對自己所能取得的成就畏首畏尾、疑心重重。如今，我們走在歷史的長河里，挺起胸膛，勾勒出美好明天的光輝畫卷。

此情此景，等待尤長。然而，就在今晚，在這個大選的日子，在這個具有歷史性意義的時刻，由于你們的付出，美國終于迎來了變革。

剛剛，我接到了麥凱恩參議員禮貌得體的祝賀電話。為了此次競選，他奮戰良久、竭盡所能；為了他所深愛的美國，他曾作出了更長久、更努力的奉獻。麥凱恩參議員為美國所作出的犧牲是大部分人難以想象的，他這種英勇無私的奉獻改善了我們的生活。對于麥凱恩參議員和佩林州長所取得的成就，我對他們致以祝賀。在接下來的幾個月里，以重振美國為目標，我期待著與他們的合作。

在此，我想感謝一路陪伴我的競選搭檔，他就是我們即將上任的副總統，喬·拜登。為了讓美國廣大的工人階層發出自己的聲音，他毫無私心地全身心投入競選，因為他和那些賓夕法尼亞州斯克蘭頓城街頭的人們一樣，出生平凡，一切白手起家。

如果沒有米歇爾·奧巴馬，這一準美國第一夫人的堅定支持，今晚，我就不會站在這兒了。我們相伴走過了16個春秋，她是我們整個家庭的頂梁柱，我一生的摯愛。還有，薩沙和瑪利亞，我愛你們，你們姊妹倆終于可以帶著你們的新寵物狗入主白宮了。我知道，就像我的其他已故親屬一樣，外祖母一定也在某處注視著我，雖然她已經不在人世。是他們造就了今天的我。今晚我很想念他們，我對他們的虧欠無以計量。

我想對我的競選經理大衛·普勞夫、首席戰略師大衛·阿克塞爾羅德以及我們這個史上最佳的競選團隊說，是你們讓這一切成為了現實，對于你們為此所做的犧牲和付出我永遠感懷在心。

然而，有一點是最重要的，那就是我永遠都不會忘記，真正擁有這個勝利的是你們，你們所有人！對于入主白宮，我從來都不是最熱候選人。競選伊始，我們的資金并不充裕，獲得的支持也不多。我們的競選班子并非始于華府，而是一路從艾奧瓦州的得梅因酒店后院、輾轉北卡羅萊納州的康克酒店客房，后來會首在西弗吉尼亞州查爾斯頓酒店的主廳……

我們的勝利來自于廣大工薪階級，正是他們從僅有的微薄存款里掏出5美元、10美元或者20美元來支持我們的競選。我們的力量來自于摘下冷漠面罩的年輕一代，來自于夜以繼日奮力工作以維持生計的下層百姓，來自于冒著嚴寒酷暑、戶戶敲門宣傳的團隊中流砥柱，更來自于成千上萬的大選志愿者。他們用出色的奉獻精神和組織能力證明了一個民有、民治、民享的政府在兩百年后仍然保持著生命力。這就是你們的勝利！

我明白，你們所做的這些，并不僅僅是為了贏得這次競選，也不單單只是為了我本人。你們之所以這么做，是因為你們懂得前方任務的艱巨。即使我們今晚沉浸于慶祝的喜悅之中，我們也深知明天將會面臨的將是我們這輩子最為艱巨的挑戰：兩場戰爭、瀕臨危險的地球和百年一遇的金融危機；即使今晚我們安然站在此處，我們也深知那些深陷伊拉克沙漠和阿富汗山區的英勇美國戰士，是為了我們而冒著生命危險。還有那些孩子早已熟睡、自己卻輾轉反側的人父人母，他們夜不能寐，想著如何還清房貸、如何支付醫藥費以及給孩子存下大學經費。我們要掌握新能源，創造就業崗位，建造新校舍，正視存在的威脅，并修復與盟友的關系。

第三篇：奧巴馬2012大選勝選演講

奧巴馬2012大選勝選演講（中文字幕）

時長：23'27'' 來源：騰訊視頻

6日晚，芝加哥麥考密克會展中心演講臺已經搭好，四周都是奧巴馬的支持者，或坐或站。

羅姆尼先“演說”

現場音樂聲很大，一刻不停，人們說話都要用喊；本來并不暖和的展館，人們挨得太近，變得很熱；人們疲勞了，但是仍然揮舞著國旗，等待奧巴馬。

“羅姆尼5分鐘后就要發表演說啦！”晚上近12點的時候，這個消息在支持者中間迅速地傳播。

7日凌晨，大屏幕上果然出現了羅姆尼的畫面。“我祝賀奧巴馬獲得勝利，他的支持者和團隊也應受到贊譽。”奧巴馬的“粉絲”對羅姆尼的開場白報以掌聲。

短短幾分鐘的演講結束后，演講臺的幕布突然拉開，露出了后面整整齊齊坐著的一隊支持者，每個人手里都拿著一面小國旗。他們可能是為媒體拍照和直播總統演講做背景。

大屏幕播放了一段奧巴馬的宣傳片，人們看完之后明顯開始激動，齊聲高喊“再來4年”、“準備好了”。

幾首慶祝音樂不斷播放，奧巴馬還沒有來。

“奧巴馬來了”

凌晨，將近20分鐘的等待，就在人們都開始揉腿扭腰的時候——奧巴馬來了。

一掃一天前的哀傷，勝利后的奧巴馬顯得神采飛揚。他的開場白是一連串的“謝謝你們”。

奧巴馬說：“我們前路艱難，旅程長久，但是我們準備抗爭，美國最好的時刻還沒有到來。”“是的，好。”記者身邊一位高大的中年選民隨聲附和。

“我知道，政治競選有時候看起來很愚蠢。這為憤世嫉俗者們提供了很多素材。他們說，政治不過是為特殊利益集團服務的游戲，但是，如果有機會和支持者對話，或者看到志愿者遠離家鄉，在偏遠縣城里工作到深夜，這個時候，你會發現一些不同。”

當展館上空飄下無數彩色紙屑，奧巴馬以“謝謝”結束演講。他、副總統拜登及兩人的家人一起在臺上對觀眾揮手致意，當所有人都已經走入后臺，走在最后的奧巴馬又轉回身，對著臺下的支持者揮手。

本報記者現場直擊奧巴馬大本營勝利之夜

加州“救了”奧巴馬

當地時間6日晚，芝加哥飄起蒙蒙細雨，一向冷清的麥考密克會展中心卻聚集了上萬人。大家在等待奧巴馬到來，發表獲勝演說。這里，是民主黨大選之夜的慶祝舉辦地。奧巴馬的勝利之夜，簡陋的場館成了人的海洋。

老婦疲勞栽倒

6日整整一天，奧巴馬都在“大本營”芝加哥度過，有人說他呆在自己家中，靜靜等待結果；有人說他在打籃球。一天前，奧巴馬在艾奧瓦州結束了最后的競選活動，激動得泣不成聲。

“我的男孩，奧巴馬，他一定能贏。”黑人選民賽繆·阿德狄亞姆對記者說，“羅姆尼領先，那都是謊言，他們不愿意看到一位黑人總統。”

“奧巴馬為中產階級和工人著想，而不是為了富人著想。他一定能贏。”亞裔選民艾麗卡激動地說。

“今晚感覺非常好”、“再來4年”、“一定能贏”的聲音在支持者們進場的時候此起彼伏。入場通道兩旁，一側是媒體記者的長槍短炮，閃光燈不住閃爍，待遇有點像走奧斯卡紅毯的感覺；另一側是大批沒有座位的支持者，一直站在那里幾個小時。有一名老婦人因為體力不支而栽倒，不過她被人們扶起來后，并沒有離去。

加州成轉折點

大廳內放著好幾個大屏幕，上面不停播放奧巴馬和拜登的宣傳片。從6日晚8點多開始，大屏幕便不斷插播計票結束州的結果。

開始時，只要播放奧巴馬獲勝的州，人群就爆發出歡呼聲。但到9點多，當奧巴馬的得票一度落后，羅姆尼似乎遙遙領先時，一位媒體記者不禁驚叫：“我的天啊。”

在播放羅姆尼獲勝州票數的時候，全場似乎都安靜了。轉到奧巴馬的時候，歡呼也不再如開始那么熱烈。

轉折出現在加州！主持人宣布：“奧巴馬贏得加州！”55張選舉人票收入囊中，總比分立即超出。

支持者喜極而泣

隨后的勝利越來越多——10點多，奧巴馬贏得艾奧瓦州、新墨西哥州??人們越來越興奮，互相擁抱歡呼。坐在座位上的支持者紛紛站了起來，大聲歡呼。

勝利來得令人猝不及防。幾分鐘后，大屏幕突然顯示：突發新聞，奧巴馬獲得273票！很多人愣了一下子，然后都說“贏了，奧巴馬贏了”。

人群沸騰了，記者開始滿場奔跑，支持者互相擁抱，喜極而泣，人們紛紛喊著“奧巴馬，奧巴馬”，隨著樂曲跳起舞蹈??

敗選演講羅姆尼稱心系美國

6日晚，羅姆尼在波士頓對支持者發表了簡短的敗選演說。這位第二次競選總統失敗的億萬富翁說，他之所以參加競選，是出于對國家的關切。

“我剛剛打電話給奧巴馬總統，祝賀他的勝利。”羅姆尼開頭便說，“他的支持者和他的競選陣營都值得這一祝賀。”

接下來，羅姆尼的演講充滿了感謝言辭，他逐一向他的搭檔——副總統候選人瑞恩，妻子安，為他拉票的兒子們，競選團隊的領頭人，以及遍及全國的志愿者、籌款人、捐款者表示感謝。

“在過去數年的時間里，你們所做的努力是無與倫比的，真的謝謝你們！”羅姆尼說。

表達完謝意后，羅姆尼將話題轉到美國現狀。他說，美國正處在一個關鍵的時刻，“我們不能將時間花費到黨派之爭和政治作秀上，我們的領導人必須克服困難，為民眾服務。而我們公民們，也應該參與進來。”

羅姆尼說，他之所以參加競選，是出于對國家的關切。他“提醒”奧巴馬，不應忘記美國立國原則，“我深信，這個國家賴以立國的基本理念，才是我們恢復經濟，復興國家的唯一指導”。

羅姆尼最后說，他和自己的支持者，都會為奧巴馬祈禱，盡管他與后者領導這個國家的理念不同。

“我如此希望我能像你們所期待的那樣，領導這個國家走一條不同的路，但民眾選擇了另一位領導人。因此，安和我要和你們一起，真誠地為他（奧巴馬）祈禱，為這個偉大的國家祈禱。謝謝你們，上帝保佑美國。”（百千）

●我想感謝每一位親身參與大選的美國人。無論這是你第一次投票，或是在隊伍中等待了很久；無論你是步行前往，還是拿起電話；無論你舉的牌子上，寫的是奧巴馬還是羅姆尼。你的聲音都會被聽到，你也一樣帶來了改變。

●20年前，如果沒有那位同意嫁給我的女人，我今天也不可能站在這里。讓我告訴所有人吧：米歇爾，我對你的愛，是如此深切。我也看到，作為第一夫人，你也贏得了除我外其他美國人的愛。對此，我是如此的驕傲自豪。

●在這個有著三億人口的國家中，民主會顯得喧嘩、混亂、復雜。我們有自己的觀點，每個人都有自己堅定的信仰。當面對困難的時候，當我們的國家需要作出重大的決定的時候，它必然會激發熱情，掀起爭議。這些在今晚之后都不會改變，也不應被改變。這些爭論是我們自由的印記。

——奧巴馬勝選演講摘要

第四篇：奧巴馬勝選演講中英全文

你好，芝加哥。

如果還有人懷疑美國是一切夢想可以成真的地方，如果還有人猶疑我們奠基人的理想在我們這個時代是否仍然存在，如果還有人質疑我們民主的威力，那么今晚就是對他們的回答。

這個回答來自學校和教堂外我國空前未見的長隊，來自那些等候三、四個小時——很多是有生以來第一次投票——的人：因為他們相信這次必須改變，而且自己的聲音有可能促成改變。

這個回答來自年輕人和老年人，富人和窮人，民主黨人和共和黨人，黑人、白人、拉美裔人、亞裔人和印第安人，同性戀人和異性戀人，殘疾人和健全人。美國人民向全世界表明，我們絕不僅僅是一群個體或一組紅藍州。

我們是、而且將永遠是美利堅合眾國。

這個回答使那些太久以來因太多人的話而變得冷漠、恐懼和懷疑的人，使他們伸手推助歷史之弧，使之再次轉向更美好的希望。來路漫長，但今晚，由于我們在今天、在這次選舉、在這個決定性時刻的作為，變革在美國降臨。

今晚早些時候，我接到了麥凱恩參議員打來的風度非凡的電話。麥凱恩參議員在這次競選中進行了持久而執著的選戰。而他為這個他熱愛的國家所進行的奮戰更持久、更執著。他對美國的奉獻，是我們許多人無以想像的。我們因為這位勇敢無私的領袖所作出的奉獻而受益。

我祝賀他，我祝賀佩林州長，祝賀他們取得的一切成就。我期待著今后幾個月與他們共同努力，重振這個國家的希望。

我要感謝我在這一征途中的競選伙伴，一個憑心聲競選的人，一個為在斯克蘭頓城共同長大的鄰舍和為他從特拉華州的家乘火車通勤路上共處的普通百姓代言的人，他就是美國當選副總統喬·拜登。如果沒有過去16年來我最知心的朋友的不懈支持，我今晚不會站在這里。她是我們家的基石，我生命中的摯愛，我們國家的下一位第一夫人，米歇爾·奧巴馬。薩夏和馬莉婭，你們無法知道我是多么愛你們。你們現在可以得到一只新的小狗了，它將跟我們一起去新的白宮。

雖然我的外祖母已經離開了我們，但我知道她正在和塑造了我的各位家人一道注視著這里。今晚我在想念他們。我知道我對他們的恩惠是感激不盡的。

我的妹妹瑪雅，我的妹妹阿爾瑪、我所有的兄弟姐妹們，非常感謝你們給以我的所有支持。我很感激。

我要感謝我的競選經理戴維·普洛夫，這位競選中默默無聞的英雄，是他組織了我認為是美國歷史上最完美的政治選戰。

我要感謝我的首席競選策劃人戴維·阿克塞爾羅德，他是我征途每一步的合作伙伴。

我要感謝政治史上首屈一指的競選班子。你們使這一切得以實現，我永遠感激你們為完成競選所作的奉獻。

但是，最重要的是，我永遠不會忘記這場競選真正的勝利者。它屬于你們。它屬于你們。我從來不是最有可能擔任這一職務的候選人。我們開始沒有多少資金或支持。我們的競選不是誕生在華盛頓的議會大廳，而是起始于得梅因市的鄰里后院、康科德市的起居室和查爾斯頓市的房前門廊。它是靠工薪男女民眾為這項事業從自己不多的積蓄里拿出5美元、10美元和20美元而發展起來的。

它通過年輕人而增強了力量──他們打破了被說成是冷漠的一代的不實之言，離開家鄉和親人，擔當起酬勞甚微、睡眠更少的工作。

它通過不那么年輕的人而增強了力量──他們冒著嚴寒酷暑去敲開陌生人家的大門；還有那些自愿組織起來的數百萬美國人──他們證明，在兩個多世紀以后，民有、民治和民享的政府沒有從地球上消亡。這是你們的勝利。

我知道，你們這樣做不只是為了贏得一場選舉。我知道你們這樣做不是為了我。

你們這樣做是因為你們知道我們前面的任務多么艱巨。就在我們今晚歡慶勝利的同時，我們知道明天將帶給我們的是一生中最大的挑戰──兩個戰爭、瀕危的地球、百年來最嚴重的金融危機。就在今晚我們站在這里的同時，我們知道，美國的勇士們正從伊拉克的沙漠和阿富汗的崇山中醒來，將為了我們而冒生命危險。有多少父母在孩子入睡后愁緒難眠，不知如何支付房產貸款和醫療賬單，不知如何為孩子備足大學學費。

我們要聚起新的力量，創造新的就業機會，建立新的學校，要應對威脅，修復同盟關系。

前面的道路是漫長的。攀登是艱難陡峭的。我們可能無法在一年內，甚至一個任期內實現目標。然而，美國，我從未像今晚這樣對我們必將實現目標充滿信心。我向你們保證，我們作為一國同胞必將實現目標。

會有挫折和錯步。有很多人不會對我身為總統作出的每項決定或制定的每項政策都表示贊同。而且我們知道，政府不能解決一切問題。

但對于我們所面臨的挑戰，我會始終對你們坦誠相告。我會聽取你們的意見，特別是在我們有分歧的時候。而最重要的是，我會呼吁你們加入重建這個國家的努力，221年來筑就美國的惟一途徑是──憑著一磚一瓦，還有一雙雙長滿老繭的手。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：奧巴馬20121107勝選演講全文

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.
