你好,芝加哥。
如果还有人怀疑美国是一切梦想可以成真的地方,如果还有人犹疑我们奠基人的理想在我们这个时代是否仍然存在,如果还有人质疑我们民主的威力,那么今晚就是对他们的回答。
这个回答来自学校和教堂外我国空前未见的长队,来自那些等候三、四个小时——很多是有生以来第一次投票——的人:因为他们相信这次必须改变,而且自己的声音有可能促成改变。
这个回答来自年轻人和老年人,富人和穷人,民主党人和共和党人,黑人、白人、拉美裔人、亚裔人和印第安人,同性恋人和异性恋人,残疾人和健全人。美国人民向全世界表明,我们绝不仅仅是一群个体或一组红蓝州。
我们是、而且将永远是美利坚合众国。
这个回答使那些太久以来因太多人的话而变得冷漠、恐惧和怀疑的人,使他们伸手推助历史之弧,使之再次转向更美好的希望。来路漫长,但今晚,由于我们在今天、在这次选举、在这个决定性时刻的作为,变革在美国降临。
今晚早些时候,我接到了麦凯恩参议员打来的风度非凡的电话。麦凯恩参议员在这次竞选中进行了持久而执著的选战。而他为这个他热爱的国家所进行的奋战更持久、更执著。他对美国的奉献,是我们许多人无以想像的。我们因为这位勇敢无私的领袖所作出的奉献而受益。
我祝贺他,我祝贺佩林州长,祝贺他们取得的一切成就。我期待着今后几个月与他们共同努力,重振这个国家的希望。
我要感谢我在这一征途中的竞选伙伴,一个凭心声竞选的人,一个为在斯克兰顿城共同长大的邻舍和为他从特拉华州的家乘火车通勤路上共处的普通百姓代言的人,他就是美国当选副总统乔·拜登。如果没有过去16年来我最知心的朋友的不懈支持,我今晚不会站在这里。她是我们家的基石,我生命中的挚爱,我们国家的下一位第一夫人,米歇尔·奥巴马。萨夏和马莉娅,你们无法知道我是多么爱你们。你们现在可以得到一只新的小狗了,它将跟我们一起去新的白宫。
虽然我的外祖母已经离开了我们,但我知道她正在和塑造了我的各位家人一道注视着这里。今晚我在想念他们。我知道我对他们的恩惠是感激不尽的。
我的妹妹玛雅,我的妹妹阿尔玛、我所有的兄弟姐妹们,非常感谢你们给以我的所有支持。我很感激。
我要感谢我的竞选经理戴维·普洛夫,这位竞选中默默无闻的英雄,是他组织了我认为是美国历史上最完美的政治选战。
我要感谢我的首席竞选策划人戴维·阿克塞尔罗德,他是我征途每一步的合作伙伴。
我要感谢政治史上首屈一指的竞选班子。你们使这一切得以实现,我永远感激你们为完成竞选所作的奉献。
但是,最重要的是,我永远不会忘记这场竞选真正的胜利者。它属于你们。它属于你们。我从来不是最有可能担任这一职务的候选人。我们开始没有多少资金或支持。我们的竞选不是诞生在华盛顿的议会大厅,而是起始于得梅因市的邻里后院、康科德市的起居室和查尔斯顿市的房前门廊。它是靠工薪男女民众为这项事业从自己不多的积蓄里拿出5美元、10美元和20美元而发展起来的。它通过年轻人而增强了力量──他们打破了被说成是冷漠的一代的不实之言,离开家乡和亲人,担当起酬劳甚微、睡眠更少的工作。
它通过不那么年轻的人而增强了力量──他们冒着严寒酷暑去敲开陌生人家的大门;还有那些自愿组织起来的数百万美国人──他们证明,在两个多世纪以后,民有、民治和民享的政府没有从地球上消亡。这是你们的胜利。
我知道,你们这样做不只是为了赢得一场选举。我知道你们这样做不是为了我。
你们这样做是因为你们知道我们前面的任务多么艰巨。就在我们今晚欢庆胜利的同时,我们知道明天将带给我们的是一生中最大的挑战──两个战争、濒危的地球、百年来最严重的金融危机。就在今晚我们站在这里的同时,我们知道,美国的勇士们正从伊拉克的沙漠和阿富汗的崇山中醒来,将为了我们而冒生命危险。有多少父母在孩子入睡后愁绪难眠,不知如何支付房产贷款和医疗账单,不知如何为孩子备足大学学费。
我们要聚起新的力量,创造新的就业机会,建立新的学校,要应对威胁,修复同盟关系。
前面的道路是漫长的。攀登是艰难陡峭的。我们可能无法在一年内,甚至一个任期内实现目标。然而,美国,我从未像今晚这样对我们必将实现目标充满信心。我向你们保证,我们作为一国同胞必将实现目标。
会有挫折和错步。有很多人不会对我身为总统作出的每项决定或制定的每项政策都表示赞同。而且我们知道,政府不能解决一切问题。
但对于我们所面临的挑战,我会始终对你们坦诚相告。我会听取你们的意见,特别是在我们有分歧的时候。而最重要的是,我会呼吁你们加入重建这个国家的努力,221年来筑就美国的惟一途径是──凭着一砖一瓦,还有一双双长满老茧的手。Hello, Chicago.If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are poible, 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 meage 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 selfle 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 mi 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 aembled 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 le 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 harne, 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.
