美国大选竞选演说-爱荷华州
演讲文本:
Barack Obama, a young man in his mid-forties has now won the Iowa Caucuses… and he’s about to speak to his supporters and get ready for the next contest in 5 days in New Hampshire where the polls show it’s very very tight right now. We don’t know what the impact the bounce will be, from Iowa and New Hampshire, we do know that his supporters are very very pumped up and excited as a result of tonight’s dramatic win in Iowa. I should point out to our viewers that he have some trouble with his voice over the past day of tour who have been working really hard, it’s been really cold out there, so that his voice sounds a little bit weak tonight, been known that he’s been losing some of that voice not necesasrily a great time for that to happen, but I’m sure that, he will overcome that problem with the whole notion of this victory for Barack Obama with his supporters. And you see that banner behind that “Change, we can believe in”, that’s been his theme from Day One. He’s focused on Change, not necessarily experiences but that theme of change is clearly paid off in Iowa for him tonight. Right now with 98% of the vote officially counted, he got 38% to John Edward 30%, Hillary Clinton’s 29%. Barack Obama is about to speak in, and we just wanna listen in very very closely to hear what he has to say just as we listen closely to Mike Huckabee who is the Republican winner. Let’s get ready to listen to the Junior Senator from Illinois, Barack Obama.
Thank you, Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! …. Thank you!~~ Thank you Iowa! They said… They said … They said this day will never come. They said our sights were set too high! They said this country was too divided too disillusioned to ever come together around a common purpose, but on this January night, at this defining moment in history, you have done what the cynics said we couldn’t do. You have done what the State of New Hampshire can do in 5 days! You have done what American can do in this new year, 2008. In lines that stretched around schools and churches, and small towns and big cities, you came together, as Democrats, Republicans and Independents… to stand up and say that “We are one nation!! We are one people! and our time for change has come!”
You said the time has come to move beyond the bitterness, and the pettiness, and anger that consumed Washington, to end the political strategy that’s been all about division, and instead making about edition, to build a coallition for changes structures through Red states and Blue states.
Because that’s how we will win in November, that’s how we’ll finally meet the challenges that we face as a nation!
We are choosing hope over fear! We are choosing unity over division! and sending a powerful message, that change is coming to America!
You said the time has come to tell the lobbists who think their money and their influences speak louder than our voices, and that they don’t own the government, we DO, and we are here to take it back!!
The time has come for President who will be honest about the choices and challenges we face, who will listen to you and learn from you even when we disagree, who won’t just tell you what you want to hear, but what you need to know. And in New Hampshire, if you give me the same chance that Iowa did tonight, I will be that President for America!
I’ll be a president who finally make health care affordable, and available to every single American the same way I expanded health care in Illinois, by bringing Democrats and Republicans together to get the job done.
I’ll be a President who ends the tax breaks for companies that ship our jobs overseas and for the middle-class tax cut into the pockets of working Americans who deserve it.
I’ll be a President who harnesses the ingenuity of farmers, scientists, and enterprenuers to free this nation from the tyranny of oil once and for all!!
And I’ll be a President who ends this war on Iraq and finally brings our troops home, who restores our moral standing, who understands that 911 is not a way to scare up votes but a challenge that should unite America and the world against the common threats of the 21st Century. Common threats of terrorism and nuclear weapons, climate change and poverty,genocide and disease.
Tonight we are one step closer to that vision of America, because of what you did here in Iowa.
And so I’d especially like to thank the organizers and the precinct captains, the volunteers and the staff who made this all possible!
And while I’m at it on thank yous, I think it makes sense for me to thank the love of my life, the rock of the Obama family, the closer on the campaign trail.
Give it up for Michelle Obama!!
