1、奥巴马 2021 竞选连任获胜演讲全文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 triump
2、hed 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 th
3、is 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
4、 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 differen
5、ce. I just spoke with Governor 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 stroabout its future. From George to Lenore to their son Mitt, the Romney family has chosen to give bac
6、k to America through public service. And that is a legacy that we honor and applaud tonight.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.I want to thank my friend and partner of the last four years,
7、 America hsappy 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 f
8、all 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, sumtiafurtl,yboeuangwomen, just like your mom.And I am so proud of you guys. But I will say that for now, one dog s probably enough.To the best campaign team and voluntee
9、rs in the history of politics (cheers, applause) the best the best ever (cheers, applause) 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
10、 history we made together. And you will have the lifelong appreciation of a grateful president. Thank you for believing all the way to every hill, to every valley.You lifted me up the whole day, and I will always be grateful for everything that you vincredible work that you ve put in.I know that pol
11、itical campaigns can sometimes seem small, even silly. And that provides plenty of fodder for the cynics 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 turned out at our rallies and crowded alon
12、g a rope line in a high school gym or or saw folks working late at a campaign office in some tiny county far away from home, you lldiscover something else. You llhear the determination in the voice of a young field organizer who s working his way through college and wants to make sure every child ha
13、s thasame opportunity.You ll hear the pride in the voice of a volunteer whos going door to door becafuinsaellhyer brothehired when the local auto plant added another shift.You ll hear the deep patriotism in the voice of a military spouse whos working the phonemake sure that no one who fights for thi
14、s country ever has to fight for a job or a roof over their head when they come home.That s why we do this. Thats what politics can be. That s why elections matter. Itimportant. Democracy in a nation of 300 million can be noisy and messy and complicated. We have our own opinions. Each of us has deepl
15、y 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 tchange after tonight. And it shouldn t. These arguments weahmavaerkaoref our liberty, and we can never forget thatas we speak, people in distant
16、 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 ogrow up in a country where they have access to the best
17、 schools and the best teachers (cheers, applause) a country that lives up to its legacy as the global leader in technology and discovery and innovation (scattered cheers, applause) with all the good jobs and new businessesthat follow. We want our children to live in an America that isn t burdened by
18、 debt, that isn t weakened up by inethreatened 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 isdefended by the strongest military on earth and the best troops this this world has ever known (cheers, app
19、lause) 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 w
20、ho studies in our schools and pledges to our flag (cheers, applause)to the young boy on the south side of Chicago who sees a life beyond the nearest street corner . (cheers, applause) to the furniture worker s child in North Carolina who wants to become a doctor or a scientist, an engineer or an ent
21、repreneur, a diplomat or even a president. Thats the future we hope for. That s theThat s where we need to go forward. That esrewwh e 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. Its not al
22、ways a straight line. It s not always athe recognition that we have common hopes and dreams won tend 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
23、 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 me a better president. And with your stories and your struggles, I return to the White House more
24、 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
25、of both parties to meet the challenges we can only solve together reducing our deficit, reforming out tax code, fixing our immigration system, freeing ourselves from foreign oil. Weve got more work to do.But that doesn t mean your work is done. The role of citizens in our democracy does not end with
26、 your vote. America s never been about what can be done for us; its about what can be done by usthrough 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 richmost powerf
27、ul military in history, but thatt makessnuost wsthroang. Our university, our culture are allthe envy of the world, but that s not what keeps the world coming to our shores. What makes Americexceptional are the bonds that hold together the most diverse nation on earth, the belief that our destiny is
28、shared that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another and to future generations, so that 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 w
29、hat makes America great.I am hopeful tonight because I have seen this spirit at work in America. I ve seen it in thwhose 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-eitnilnisthaeft

31、ifferences to help a community rebuild from the wreckage of a terrible storm.And I saw it 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 ju
32、st 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 stsory, every parent in that room had tears in their eyes because
33、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 presidentAnd tonight, despite all the hardship we ve been through, despite all the frustrations of Washington never been
34、 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 jusgtni ores the enormity of the tasks ahead or the roadblocks that stand in our path. I m not talking about the wishful idealis
35、m that allows us to juon 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.A
36、merica, I believe we can build on the progress we ve made and conotrinnueewtojofbigshatnfd newopportunities and new security for the middle class. I believe we can keep the promise of our founders, the idea that if youre willing to work hard, it doesn t matter who you are or where you comwhat you look like or where you love. It doesn t matter whetheyrou reblack or white or Hispanic or Asian or Native American or young or old or rich or poor, abled, disabled, gay or straight. You can make it here in America if you re willing to try.
