美國首任黑人總統奧巴馬競選演講稿（中英）

Obama: The Change We Need

This is a defining moment in our history.We face the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression--760,000 workers have lost their jobs this year.Businesses and families can't get credit.Home values are falling, and pensions are disappearing.Wages are lower than they've been in a decade, at a time when the costs of health care and college have never been higher.At a moment like this, we can't afford four more years of spending increases, poorly designed tax cuts, or the complete lack of regulatory oversight that even former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan now believes was a mistake.America needs a new direction.That's why I'm running for president of the United States.Tomorrow, you can give this country the change we need.My opponent, Senator McCain, has served his country honorably.He can even point to a few moments in the past where he has broken from his party.But over the past eight years, he's voted with President Bush 90% of the time.And when it comes to the economy, he still can't tell the American people one major thing he'd do differently from George Bush.It's not change to come up with a tax plan that doesn't give a penny of relief to more than 100 million middle-class Americans--a plan that even the National Review and other conservative organizations complain does far too little to benefit the middle class.It's not change to add more than $5 trillion to the deficits we've run up in recent years.It's not change to come up with a plan to address our housing crisis that puts another $300 billion of taxpayer money at risk--a plan that the editorial board of this newspaper said 'raises more questions than it answers.'If there's one thing we've learned from this economic crisis, it's that we are all in this together.From CEOs to shareholders, from

financiers to factory workers, we all have a stake in each other's success because the more Americans prosper, the more America prospers.That's why we've had titans of industry who've made it their mission to pay well enough that their employees could afford the products they made--businessmen like Warren Buffett, whose support I'm proud to have.That's why our economy hasn't just been the world's greatest wealth creator--it's been the world's greatest job generator.It's been the tide that has lifted the boats of the largest middle class in history.To rebuild that middle class, I'll give a tax break to 95% of workers and their families.If you work, pay taxes, and make less than $200,000, you'll get a tax cut.If you make more than $250,000, you'll still pay taxes at a lower rate than in the 1990s--and capital gains and dividend taxes one-third lower than they were under President Reagan.We'll create two million new jobs by rebuilding our crumbling

infrastructure and laying broadband lines that reach every corner of the country.I'll invest $15 billion a year over the next decade in renewable energy, creating five million new, green jobs that pay well, can't be outsourced, and can help end our dependence on Middle East oil.When it comes to health care, we don't have to choose between a government-run system and the unaffordable one we have now.My opponent's plan would make you pay taxes on your health-care benefits for the first time in history.My plan will make health care affordable and accessible for every American.If you already have health insurance, the only change you'll see under my plan is lower premiums.If you don't, you'll be able to get the same kind of plan that members of Congress get for themselves.To give every child a world-class education so they can compete in this global economy for the jobs of the 21st century, I'll invest in early childhood education and recruit an army of new teachers.But I'll also demand higher standards and more accountability.And we'll make a deal with every young American: If you commit to serving your community or your country, we will make sure you can afford your tuition.And when it comes to keeping this country safe, I'll end the Iraq war responsibly so we stop spending $10 billion a month in Iraq while it sits on a huge surplus.For the sake of our economy, our military and the long-term stability of Iraq, it's time for the Iraqis to step up.I'll finally finish the fight against bin Laden and the al Qaeda terrorists who attacked us on 9/11, build new partnerships to defeat the threats of the 21st century, and restore our moral standing so that America remains the last, best hope of Earth.None of this will be easy.It won't happen overnight.But I believe we can do this because I believe in America.This is the country that allowed our parents and grandparents to believe that even if they couldn't go to college, they could save a little bit each week so their child could;that even if they couldn't have their own business, they could work hard enough so their child could open one of their own.And at every moment in our history, we've risen to meet our challenges because we've never

forgotten the fundamental truth that in America, our destiny is not written for us, but by us.So tomorrow, I ask you to write our nation's next great chapter.I ask you to believe--not just in my ability to bring about change, but in yours.Tomorrow, you can choose policies that invest in our middle class, create new jobs, and grow this economy so that everyone has a chance to succeed.You can choose hope over fear, unity over division, the promise of change over the power of the status quo.If you give me your vote, we won't just win this election--together, we will change this country and change the world.現在是美國歷史的關鍵時刻。我們面臨著大蕭條以來最為嚴重的一場經濟危機：今年以來已經有76萬人失業；企業和家庭無法獲得信貸；房價不斷下滑，養老金日益縮水；工資降到了十年來的最低水平，同時醫療和教育成本卻漲到了有史以來的最高點。

在眼下這樣的危急時刻，我們承受不起又一個四年的支出增長、千瘡百孔的減稅措施、或是監管全無──即使是美國聯邦儲備委員會（Fed）前主席格林斯潘（Alan Greenspan）現在也承認那是個錯誤。美國需要一個新的方向。這也正是我競選美國總統的原因所在。

明天，也就是周二，你們將有能力賦予這個國家我們所需要的變革。Corbis我的競選對手麥凱恩參議員為美國作出的貢獻令人尊敬。他甚至可以指出他過去曾有幾次與自己的黨派分道揚鑣。然而，在過去八年中，他十之八九都贊同布什總統的主張。而在經濟問題上，他仍然無法向美國民眾說明，他與布什的做法會有什么太大區別。

如果提出的稅收計劃沒有讓1億多美國中產階級獲得一分錢的稅項減免，這不是變革──即使是《國家評論》（National Review）雜志和其他保守派組織也抱怨說，這個計劃對造福中產階級貢獻寥寥。在近年來不斷累積的財政赤字上再添5萬億美元，這不是變革。如果解決房市危機的計劃又將另外3,000億美元納稅人的錢置于風險之中，這不是變革──《華爾街日報》編輯委員會稱這一計劃“產生的問題比解決的問題多”。

如果說我們從此次經濟危機中學到了什么的話，那就是我們要患難與共。從首席執行長到公司股東，從金融家到工廠工人，我們每個人都休戚相關，因為美國的民眾越富足，美國才會越繁榮。

這就是為什么我們有些企業巨頭把提高員工薪酬作為自己的一項使命，讓員工能買得起自己生產的產品，比如巴菲特（Warren Buffett）這樣的商界人士。我對能有他的支持感到自豪。這就是為什么美國經濟不僅是世界上最偉大的財富創造者，也是世界上最偉大的就業機會制造者。它一直托舉著有史以來規模最大的中產階級之舟。

為了重塑美國中產階級，我將給予95%的工人及其家庭稅收減免待遇。如果你工作，就交稅；如果年收入不足20萬美元，你會獲得減稅；即使你的年收入超過了25萬美元，你所負擔的稅率也比上世紀九十年代要低──資本利得稅和股息稅要比里根總統時期低三分之一。

通過重建日益破敗的基礎設施、在美國的各個角落接通寬帶，我們將創造200萬個就業崗位。未來的十年中，我將每年在可再生能源領域投資150億美元，進而新增500萬個崗位；這些工作環保、薪酬豐厚、不能外包，而且能幫助我們擺脫對中東石油的依賴。

在醫療問題上，我們不必在政府運營的體系和目前這種我們難以負擔的體系之間進行選擇。我的競選對手提出的方案會令美國人有史以來首次為自己獲得的醫療福利納稅。我的計劃則會讓醫療保健成為每個美國人都負擔得起、享受得到的服務。根據我的計劃，如果你已經有了醫療保險，你將看到的唯一一個變化是保費降低；如果你還沒有醫療保險，你將能與國會議員們享受到同樣的醫療福利。為了讓每個孩子享受到世界級的教育，讓他們能在全球經濟中競爭21世紀的工作崗位，我將投資早期教育，并且增加師資力量。不過，我同時也會要求更高的標準和更多的責任。我們向每個美國年輕人作出承諾：如果你致力于服務你的社區或是你的國家，我們將確保你能負擔得起自己的學費。

在國防安全問題上，我將負責任地結束伊拉克戰爭，這樣我們就不必在這個國家享有巨額財政盈余的情況下每月卻要在那里花費100億美元。為了美國的經濟、美國的軍隊和伊拉克的長期穩定，現在是伊拉克人站出來的時候了。我將最終完成對本·拉登（Bin Laden）和基地組織恐怖分子的打擊，正是這些人制造了9/11恐怖襲擊，同時我還會建立新的合作關系、擊退21世紀出現的威脅，恢復我們的道德威望，讓美國仍然是地球上最后也是最好的希望。

這些事情沒有一件是輕而易舉能辦到的，也不是一朝一夕能完成的。但是，我堅信我們能成功，因為我對美國深信不疑。是美國使我們的父輩相信，即使他們自己無法上大學，也可以每周積攢下一些錢來，讓他們的孩子接受好的教育；即使他們不能擁有自己的企業，也可以通過努力工作讓自己的孩子創辦企業。在美國歷史的每個時刻，我們都勇敢地站起來面對挑戰，因為我們從來沒有忘記過這樣一個基本真理：在美國，我們的命運并非天定，而是掌握在我們自己的手中。所以，明天，我懇請你們書寫美國下一個偉大的篇章。我懇請你們不只相信我帶來變革的能力，還有你們自己的能力。明天，你們可以選擇這樣一種政策──向美國中產階級進行投入、創造新的就業崗位、實現經濟增長讓人人都有成功的機會。你們可以選擇希望而非恐懼、選擇團結而非分裂、選擇變革的希望而非墨守成規。如果你們投我的票，我們將不僅贏得此次競選，還將一起改變這個國家、改變這個世界。

第二篇：奧巴馬2012獲勝演講稿(中英)

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 r

allies 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 militaryspouse 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 a

nd 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.謝謝，非常感謝各位。今晚，是在一個曾經的殖民地在贏得自己主權200多年之后，我們來到這里，不斷前行，這主要是因為你們堅信這個國家能夠實現永恒的希望，實現移民的夢想。每一個人都可以獨立的爭取自己的未來，我們將會作為一個國家共同起落。

今晚，在選舉的過程當中，你們——美國的人民，讓我們記得我們的道路是非常艱辛的，我們的道路是漫長的，我們重新站了起來，我們也從內心知道，美國還沒有迎來最好的時代。

我想要感謝每一個參與選舉的美國人。無論你們是第一次投票，還是(排隊)等了很長的時間才投上一票——順便說一下我會解決這個問題。無論你是自己去投票站投的票，還是打電話投的票；無論你是投給奧巴馬的人，還是投給羅姆尼的人，你都是為我們國家帶來轉變的力量。我剛剛同羅姆尼通過電話，我祝賀他們這次競選所取得的成績。

我們的選戰也許非常激烈，但這正是因為我們深愛著這個國家，并且我們十分在意它的未來。從羅姆尼整個家庭，孫子輩，孩子輩，整個家庭都獻給了美國，這種精神我們將永遠銘記。幾周之后我將會同羅姆尼坐在一起，討論我們怎么樣推動國家未來的發展。

我也感謝在過去四年辛苦奉獻的搭檔，也是美國最好的副總統，拜登先生。

我(之所以)成為現在的我，必須要感謝20年前與我結婚的女人。我想公開地表達：米歇爾，我從來沒有像現在這樣愛你！我為你感到非常非常的驕傲，我相信我們的國家也非常愛你，你是我們非常熱愛的美國第一夫人。

薩莎和瑪莉亞，我摯愛的女兒，你們兩個是非常堅強也非常聰明的女性，就像你們的母親一樣，我對你們感到非常的驕傲，但是目前我覺得給你們養一條寵物狗就夠了。

我還要感謝我的競選團隊和志愿者，他們是最好的，最棒的，而且是史上最棒的。有些人是第一次來聽我的演說，有些人四年前就聽了我的獲勝演說，但是每個人對我來講都是我的一分子，不管你做了什么，不管你去了哪里，你一定會記得我們今天晚上所創的歷史，你會一生都感激今晚這個時刻，而且你們會一直記得有一個心懷感激的總統，謝謝你們一路以來對我的信任，我要感謝你們所做的每一件事情。正是因為有了你們，我才會一路堅持下來。我對此將永遠感謝，不管你做的什么，你們所做的一切我都心懷感激，并且永遠鳴謝。

我知道這些政治競選，可能有時候看起來非常愚蠢，而且我們也聽到很多人跟我們講政治有的時候十分愚蠢，可能他只是利益的追求和沖突，但是如果你們真的有機會去和競選活動上和人們談論一些問題，或者你看到一些競選團隊，非常辛勤工作的志愿者們，你們的印象會有所改觀，因為你能夠看到他們有多大的決心。他們也從大學畢業，并希望每一個孩子得到像他們一樣的機會。大家會聽到志愿者驕傲的聲音，當他們看到當地的汽車生產商增加了就業的機會，他們會感到非常的驕傲。大家也會看到我們軍人深深的愛國情意，他們守護著美國的安全，我們將保證他們回國之后不會再為找工作而煩惱。這就是我們現在所做的一切，這就是我們政治的目的，這也是為什么選舉如此重要。

這并不是小事情，而是大事情，是至關重要的事情。我們這個擁有3億人口的國家，民主的情緒可能十分復雜，可能十分混亂，每個人可能都有自己的觀點，每個人都有自己深深的信仰，在我們經歷艱難時刻，做出艱難抉擇時，我們很自然會有沖突，會有情感的表達，但是我認為它不應當影響我們今晚的表現。這些爭論正是我們自由的基礎，我們永遠不會忘記我們說話的時候，許多國家的人民仍然在冒著風險，希望能夠找到解決問題的方法，希望能夠爭取投票的權利。

盡管我們有很多的分歧，大多數人都對美國有共同的希望，我們都希望我們的孩子能夠上最好的學校，有最好的老師；我們的國家成為技術以及創新方面的領袖，并且創造更多的就業崗位和更多的企業。我希望我們的孩子不是負債累累，不會受到恐怖力量的威脅。我們也希望我們的國家是安全的，在全球受到尊重和羨慕，并且擁有全世界最強大、最優秀的軍隊。同時我們的國家也應該是充滿信心的國家，結束戰爭，重塑人類的和平。

與此同時我們也希望自己的國家，有信心，并且能夠不斷推動每個人的自由、繁榮和發展，我們相信美國的慷慨和包容，美國的自由和開放，我們將伸開雙手迎接那些移民的子女來到美國。我們相信在芝加哥任何一個孩子都可以看到他的希望，在北卡州那些想要成為科學家和醫生的學生，想要成為工程師，甚至是總統的學生，這是我們共同要爭取的未來，這是我們共同分享的愿景，這也是我們前進的方向。

我們有的時候會對于怎么樣向前進有非常強烈的分歧，200年來，大家知道我們的進步一直不是直線的，也不是一帆風順，我們伴隨著很多分歧和不同。我們意識到我們有著共同的夢想，將會使我們結束僵局，努力的促成問題的解決。我們需要妥協，需要使我們國家的繼續向前進，這樣一種團結的力量是我們現在出發的基礎。我們的經濟正處于復蘇期間，我們十年的戰爭也已經結束，我們的競選也已經將告尾聲，無論我是否贏得了你們的選票，我都傾聽了你們的聲音，我都從你們那里學到了很多東西，你們將會使我成為更好的總統。我將會記得你們的故事，你們的抗爭，我將會更堅定的入主白宮，并且更堅定的完成未來的工作。

今晚，大家是為行動而不是為政治而投票，希望我們能夠更關注你們的工作，而不是我的工作。在今后的幾周，我將會與兩黨領袖會面應對我們的挑戰，我們只能夠共同應對挑戰，減少我們的赤字，改善我們的移民體系，減少對外國石油的依賴，我們有很多工作要做。但是這不意味著你們的工作就結束了，在民主社會當中公民的作用并不因為投票而結束，你們一定要問問自己，不是美國能為你們做什么，而是我能為美國做什么，我們要進行自我治理，自我約束，這是我們的原則，也是我們建國的理念。

我們這個國家是世界上最富有的國家，但并不是我們每個人富有，雖然我們的軍隊十分強大，但我們個人并不強大，我們的大學、我們的文化，雖然是全球最優秀的，但是卻并不是說我們就是全球最優秀的。因為我們是一個多民族的國家，多樣性的國家，但是在這樣多樣性的國家當中，我們有共同的愿景和共識。如果我們推卸責任，不為子孫后代負責，我們將不會是一個能夠前進的國家。我們要承擔我們的責任，熱愛我們的國家，這也是使美國強大的原因。

我今天晚上充滿了希望，因為我看到美國勞動人民的精神，還看到了那些商業人士所做的工作，提供了很多工作機會，而且我還看到那些失業的人民得到了幫助，我還看到戰士們仍然守衛著我們的國家，因為他們也知道我們在支持著他們。我還看到新澤西紐約每個政黨的領導人，都開始拋開他們的歧見，來探討怎么從桑迪風暴中重建我們的家園。

我們還看到，幾天前，俄亥俄州一個父親說他有一個八歲的女兒，女孩的白血病使他的家庭一貧如洗，他們之前并沒有得到醫療保障，后來他們受利于幾個月前剛剛通過的醫改方案，使他們能夠支付起醫療費。我和這位父親，還有他的女兒都見面了，當他說的時候，在場所有的父母都落淚了，因為我們知道，他的女兒也可能是我們的女兒，我們都希望自己的孩子未來充滿光芒，這是每個父母的希望，這是我身為總統引以為豪的。

今晚，盡管我們經歷了這么多的困難，盡管我們經歷了這么多的挫折，我對未來格外充滿信心，我對美國格外充滿希望，我希望大家延續這種希望，我這里講的并不是盲目的樂觀，指的是我們對未來的挑戰，我也沒有說天真或者理想化的樂觀情緒，我真正的希望，不管我們遇到多少的挫折，多少的困難，只有我們有勇氣保持不斷努力、不斷斗爭，不斷勇往直前。

我相信我們我們能在取得成就的基礎上取得新的機會，為美國的中產階級提供新的希望，我相信我們能夠繼續延續我們建國者的承諾，不管你來自哪里，不管你的膚色是什么，不管你是黑人、白人、亞裔人，任何種族，不管你是同性戀，還是非同性戀，不管你是貧困的，還是富裕的，你都可以來到美國實現你的夢想。

我相信，我們可以共同迎來這樣的未來，因為我們對未來是充滿了希望，我們有雄心壯志，我們贏得的不僅僅是這一個選舉，而且是一個未來，是美國的未來。我們將會作為一個整體，是美利堅合眾國，而不是分成藍色或者是紅色，上帝會引導我們走向這條道路。并且我們相信，我們會成為世界上最偉大的國家，謝謝你們，上帝保佑美國！

第三篇：奧巴馬競選演講稿

Hello，Chicago！

芝加哥，你好！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.假如還有人不相信美國是一個不存在不可能的地方，還有人懷疑開國之父們的夢想依然在影響著我們這個時代，還有人質疑美利堅民主的力量，那么，他們的疑惑在今夜得到了解答。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.在學校和教堂外面，人們排起了長長的隊伍，人數之多在美國歷史上前所未有。為了投上自己的一票，他們可以等待三個小時、四個小時。許多人是一生中第一次參加投票，因為他們堅信這一次必須有所變革，而他們的聲音將舉足輕重。

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.無論民主黨人還是共和黨人，無論黑人還是白人，無論拉美裔還是亞裔，無論同性戀者還是異性戀者，無論殘疾人還是健康人，他們向全世界發出了同一個信息：我們從來不屬于共和黨的“紅州”或者民主黨的“藍州”，我們屬于美利堅合眾國，現在如此，永遠如此！

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.在如此漫長的時期內，曾經有如此眾多的人們對我們說：對于我們的成功，我們應該淡漠，應該害怕，應該不相信。但是，歷史之輪如今已在我們手中，歷史之輪將又一次在我們手中駛向美好未來。

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.通往今夜的道路很漫長，但今夜終于來臨。特殊的一天，特殊的一次大選，特殊的決定性時刻，美國迎來了變革。

I just received a very gracious call from Sen.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 Gov.Palin for all they have achieved，and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.我接到了麥凱恩參議員一個非常大度的電話。在這次競選中，他作出了持久而艱巨的努力。為了這個他熱愛的國家，他作出的努力更持久、更艱巨。他為美利堅做出的犧牲，超出了我們絕大多數人的想象。他是一位勇敢無私的領袖，正因為有了象他這樣的服務，我們才生活得更好。我對麥凱恩參議員以及佩林州長的成績表示祝賀。同時，我也期待著在未來與他們一起為振興國家而共同努力。

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.我要感謝我的競選搭檔，一位全身心投入的男人——當選副總統喬?拜登。為了與他一起在斯克蘭頓街道長大的人們，為了曾與他一起坐那趟回特拉華州火車的人們，他全心全意地竟選，他要為這些普通百姓代言。

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 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.我要感謝下一位第一夫人米歇爾?奧巴馬。她是我家的中流砥柱，是我生命中的最愛。沒有她在過去16年來的堅定支持，我就不可能今晚站在這里。我要感謝薩沙和瑪麗雅，我太愛你們兩個了，你們將有一條新的小狗，它將與我們一起入住白宮。我還要感謝已去世的外婆，我知道此刻

她與其它親人一起造就了今天的我。今夜我思念他們，我知道他們對我的恩情比山高，比海深。

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.我要感謝我的競選經理大衛?普魯夫，感謝首席策劃師大衛?阿克塞羅德以及整個競選團隊，他們是政治史上最優秀的競選團隊。你們成就了今夜，我永遠感謝你們為今夜所作出的犧牲。

But above all，I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to — it belongs to you.但最重要的是，我將永遠不會忘記這場勝利真正歸功于誰---是你們！

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.我曾經是最沒有可能的候選人。起初，我們的資金不多，贊助人也不多。我們的競選并非始于華盛頓的華麗大廳，而是起于德莫奈地區某家的后院、康科德地區的某家客廳、查爾斯頓地區的某家前廊。It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 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

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.這些勞動大眾從自己的微薄積蓄中掏出5美元、10美元、20美元，拿來捐助我們的事業。現在的年輕人曾被認為是冷漠的一代，但正是這些年輕人壯大了我們的聲勢。他們離開自己的家庭和親人，拿著很少的報酬，起早摸黑地助選。上了年紀的人也頂著嚴寒酷暑，敲開陌生人的家門助選。無數的美國人自愿地組織起來，證明了在兩百多年以后，民有、民治、民享的政府并未從地球上消失。這是你們的勝利。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.我知道你們這樣做并不只是為了贏得一場大選，更不是為了我個人。你們這樣做，是因為你們明白未來的任務有多么艱巨。今晚我們在歡慶，明天我們就將面對一生之中最為嚴峻的挑戰－－兩場戰爭、一個充滿危險的星球，還有百年一遇的金融危機。今晚我們站在這里慶祝，但我們知道

為了我們，他們醒來后面對的是一個有生命危險的世界。這些士兵的父母會在孩子熟睡后仍難以入眠，他們擔憂的是如何償還月供，如何支付醫藥費，如何存夠今后孩子的大學費用。我們需要開發新能源，創造新的就業機會；修建新的學校；我們還要迎接挑戰和威脅，并修復與盟國的關系。The road ahead will be long.Our climb will be steep.We may not get there in one year，or even 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.前方的道路還很漫長，任務很艱巨。一年之內，甚至一屆任期之內，我們可能都無法完成這些任務。但我從未像今晚這樣對美國滿懷希望，我相信我們會實現這個目標。我向你們承諾－－我們美利堅民族將實現這一目標！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 that 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 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，callused hand by callused hand.我們會遇到挫折，會出師不利，會有許多人不認同我得某一項決定或政策。我們知道政府并不能解決所有問題，我會向你們坦陳我們所面臨的困難。我會聆聽你們的意見，尤其是在我們意見不同的時候。最重要的是，我會請求你們一起參與重建這個國家。用自己的雙手，從一磚一瓦做起，這是美國立國221年以來的前進方式，也是惟一的方式。What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night.This victory alone is not the

— it is only the chance for us to make that change.And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.It cannot happen without you.21個月前那個隆冬所開始的一切絕不應在今天這個秋夜結束。我們所尋求的變革并不只是贏得大選，這只是給變革提供了一個機會。假如我們仍然按照現有方式行事，就沒有變革。沒有你們，就沒有變革。So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism;of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves，but each other.Let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything，it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers.In this country，we rise or fall as one nation — as one people.讓我們發揚新的愛國精神，樹立新的服務意識和責任感；讓我們每個人下定決心，更加努力地工作，彼此關愛；讓我們牢記這場金融危機帶來的教訓：不能允許商業街掙扎的同時卻讓華爾街繁榮。在這個國家，我們屬于同一民族，我們患難與共。Let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.Let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House — a party founded on the values of self-reliance，individual liberty and national unity.Those are values we all share，and while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight，we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.黨派政治，瑣碎狹隘，不成熟，長期以來這些東西荼毒了我們的政治。讓我們牢記，當來自伊利諾伊州的一名男子首次將共和黨的大旗扛進白宮時，伴隨著他的是自強自立、個人自由、國家統

這也是我們所有人都珍視的理念。雖然民主黨今晚大勝，但我們態度謙卑，并決心彌合阻礙我們進步的分歧。As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours，“We are not enemies，but friends...Though passion may have strained，it must not break our bonds of affection.” And，to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn，I may not have won your vote，but I hear your voices，I need your help，and I will be your president，too.當年，林肯面對的是一個比目前分歧更深更大的國家。他說：“我們不是敵人，而是朋友……雖然激情可能褪去，但是我們的感情紐帶不會割斷。”對于那些現在并不支持我的美國人，我想說，雖然我沒有贏得你們的選票，但我聽到了你們的聲音，我需要你們的幫助，我也將是你們的總統。And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores，from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world — our stories are singular，but our destiny is shared，and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.To those who would tear this world down: We will defeat you.To those who seek peace and security: We support you.And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright: Tonight，we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth，but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy，liberty，opportunity and unyielding hope.對于關注今夜結果的國際人士，不管他們是在國會、皇宮關注，還是在荒僻地帶收聽電臺，我們的態度是：我們美國人的經歷各有不同，但我們的命運相同，新的美國領袖誕生了。那些想要毀滅這個世界的人們，我們必將擊敗你們。那些追求和平和安全的人們，我們支持你們。那些懷疑

今天晚上我們已再次證明：美國的真正力量來源并非軍事威力或財富規模，而是我們理想的恒久力量：民主、自由、機會和不屈的希望。For that is the true genius of America — that America can change.Our union can be perfected.And what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.這才是美國真正的精髓－－美國能夠變革。我們的聯邦會不斷完善。我們已經取得的成就，將為我們將來能夠并且必須取得的成就增添了希望。This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations.But one that's on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta.She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election，except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.這次大選創造了多項“第一”，誕生了很多將流芳后世的故事，但今晚令我最為難忘的卻是一位在亞特蘭大投票的婦女：安妮?庫波爾。她和無數排隊等待投票的選民沒有什么差別，除了一點：她高齡106歲。She was born just a generation past slavery;a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky;when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons — because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.在她出生的那個時代，黑奴制剛剛結束。那時路上沒有汽車，天上沒有飛機。當時像她這樣的人由于兩個原因不能投票－－一第一因為她是女性，第二個原因是她的膚色。And tonight，I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America — the heartache and the hope;the struggle and the progress;the times we were told that we can't and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes，we can.心痛和希望，掙扎和進步，那些我們被告知我們辦不到的年代，以及我們現在這個年代。現在，我們堅信美國式信念——是的，我們能！At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed，she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot.Yes，we can.婦女曾經沒有發言權，她們曾經希望破滅。但安妮活到了今天，看到了婦女們站了起來，她們發表自己的見解，有了選舉權。是的，我們能。When there was despair in the Dust Bowl and depression across the land，she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal，new jobs and a new sense of common purpose.Yes，we can.上世紀三十年代，大蕭條橫掃美國大地，一片絕望。她看到了美國以新政、新的就業機會以及嶄新的共同追求戰勝了恐慌。是的，我們能。When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world，she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved.Yes，we can.二戰時期，炸彈降臨我們的海港上空，全世界受到獨裁專制的威脅，她見證了美國一代人的偉大崛起，他們拯救了民主。是的，我們能。She was there for the buses in Montgomery，the hoses in Birmingham，a bridge in Selma and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that “We Shall Overcome.” Yes，we can.她看到了蒙哥馬利通了公共汽車、伯明翰接上了水管、塞爾馬建了橋。來自亞特蘭大的一位傳教士告訴人們：我們能！。是的，我們能。A man touched down on the moon，a wall came down in Berlin，a world was connected by our own science and imagination.And this year，in this election，she touched her finger to a screen and cast her vote，because，through the best of times and the darkest of hours，she knows how America can change.Yes，we can.人類登上了月球、柏林墻倒下了，科學和想像把世界連了一塊。今年，在這次選舉中，安妮的手指輕觸電子屏幕，投下自己的一票。她在美國生活了106年，其間有最美好的時光，也有最黑暗的時刻，她知道美國能夠變革。是的，我們能。America，we have come so far.We have seen so much.But there is so much more to do.So tonight，let us ask ourselves: If our children should live to see the next century;if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper，what change will they see? What progress will we have made? 美利堅，我們已經一路走來，我們已經看到了那么多變化，但我們仍有很多事情要做。今夜，讓我們問自己這樣一個問題：假如我們的孩子能夠活到下一個世紀；假如我們的女兒有幸與安妮一樣長壽，她們將會看到怎樣的改變？我們又取得了怎樣的進步？This is our chance to answer that call.This is our moment.This is our time — to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids;to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace;to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth that out of many，we are one;that while we breathe，we hope，and where we are met with cynicism，and doubt，and those who tell us that we can't，we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes，we can.現在，我們有了回答這個問題的機會。這是我們的時刻，我們的時代。讓我們的人民重新就業，為我們的孩子打開機會的大門；恢復繁榮，促進和平；讓美國夢重放光芒，再證這一重要的真理，那就是：團結一致，眾志成城；一息尚存，希望就在；倘若有人嘲諷我們不能，懷疑我們能，那

么我們就以這一永恒信條回應，因為它凝聚了整個民族的精神——是的，我們能！Thank you，God bless you，and may God bless the United States of America.謝謝大家！愿主保佑你們，保佑美利堅合眾國。

第四篇：2012 奧巴馬競選演講稿

Four years ago as I had the privilege to travel all across the country and meet Americans from all walks of life.I decided nobody else should have to endure the heartbreak of a broken health care system.No one in the wealthiest nation on earth should go because they get sick.Nobody should have to tell their daughters or sons the decisions they can and cannot make for themselves are constrained because of some politicians in Washington.四年前我有幸周游了全國，遇到了各行各業的人們。我下定了決心不讓任何人由于醫療保健系統的不健全而心碎，不讓這個世界上最富有的的國家的任何人因為疾病而窮困潦倒。不讓任何人需要告訴自己的子女，他們能做什么，不能做什么，會由華盛頓的某些政客而左右。

And thanks to you, we’ve made a difference in people’s lives.Thanks to you.There are folks that I meet today who have gotten care and their cancer’s been caught.And they’ve got treatment.And they are living full lives and it happened because of you.感謝你們，人們的生活才有了更多不同。感謝你們，讓今天的我遇到的很多人得到了關懷，得到了治療。他們能夠繼續完整地生活，這些都離不開你們。

We've come too far to turn back now.We've got too much work to do to implement health care.We've got too much work to do to create good jobs.We've got too many teachers that we've got to hire.We've got too many schools that we've got to rebuild.We've got too many students who still need affordable higher education.我們已經經歷了那么多，現在不該回頭。要落實醫療改革，要創造就業機會，我們還有太多要做。有太多老師等著我們去征集，有太多學校需要我們去重建，有太多學生需要讓他們負擔得起的大學。

There's more homegrown energy to generate.There are more troops that we've got to bring home.There are more doors of opportunity we've got to open to anybody who is willing to work hard and walk through those doors.We've got to keep building an economy.Or no matter what you look like or where you come from, you can make it here if you try.And you can leave something behind for the next generation.That's what at stake right now in Colorado.That's why I'm running for President of the United States of America.That's why I'm asking for your vote.有太多本土能源要去生產，有更多的軍隊需要回歸祖國，有更多的機會之門需要我們去打開，讓那些愿意努力工作的人們有機會成功。我們要繼續發展經濟。做到無論你是何種膚色，來自何方，只要你努力就可以成功。你就可以為下一代創造更好的條件。這是我們在科羅拉多州要爭奪的。這是為什么我要競選美國總統。這是為什么我希望你們投票給我。

I still believe in you.And if you still believe in me, and if you're willing to stand with me, and knock on some doors with me, and make some phone calls with me, and talk to your neighbors and friends about what's at stake, we will win this election.We will finish what we started.And we'll remind the world why America is the greatest nation on earth.我依舊相信你們。如果你們依舊相信我，如果你們愿意支持我，和我一起去叩門拜訪，和我一起打電話，告訴你的鄰居和朋友們，我們在爭取什么，那我們就能在這場競選中獲得勝利。我們就會像上次那樣贏得最終勝利。

God bless you and God bless the United States of America.上帝護佑你，上帝護佑美利堅合眾國。

第五篇：奧巴馬競選演講稿

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.如果有人懷疑美國是個一切皆有可能的地方，懷疑美國奠基者的夢想在我們這個時代依然燃燒，懷疑我們民主的力量，那么今晚這些疑問都有了答案。

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.學校和教堂門外的長龍便是答案。排隊的人數之多，在美國歷史上前所未有。為了投票，他們排隊長達三、四個小時。許多人一生中第一次投票，因為他們認為這一次大選結果必須不同以往，而他們手中的一票可能決定勝負。

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.無論年齡，無論貧富，無論民主黨人或共和黨人，無論黑人、白人，無論拉美裔、亞裔、印地安人, 無論同性戀、異性戀，無論殘障人、健全人，所有的人，他們向全世界喊出了同一個聲音：我們并不隸屬 “紅州”與 “藍州”的對立陣營，我們屬于美利堅合眾國，現在如此，永遠如此！

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.長久以來，很多人說：我們對自己的能量應該冷漠，應該恐懼，應該懷疑。但是，歷史之輪如今已在我們手中，我們又一次將歷史之輪轉往更美好的未來。

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.漫漫征程，今宵終于來臨。特殊的一天，特殊的一次大選，特殊的決定性時刻，美國迎來了變革。
