2、 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.its the answer spoken by young and old,
3、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.its
4、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.its been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this
5、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 hes fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. he has endured sacrifices for america that most of us cannot

10、ver grateful for what youve 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 didnt start with much money or many endorsements. our campaign was not hatched in the halls of washin
11、gton - 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 pe
12、ople who rejected the myth of their generations 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 v

14、erstand 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 american
15、s 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 theyll make the mortgage, or pay their doctors bills, or save enough for college. there is new energy to ha
16、rness and new jobs to be created; new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to repair.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
17、 you - we as a people will get there.there will be setbacks and false starts. there are many who wont agree with every decision or policy i make as president, and we know that government cant solve every problem. but i will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. i will listen to you
18、, especially when we disagree. and above all, i will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way its been done in america for two-hundred and twenty-one years - block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.what began twenty-one months ago in the depths of winter
19、 must not end on this autumn night. this victory alone is not the change we seek - 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.so let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility wh
20、ere 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, its that we cannot have a thriving wall street while main street suffers - in this country, we rise or fall as one nation; as one p
21、eople.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
22、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. as lincoln said to a nation far more di
23、vided 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.and to all th
24、ose 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
25、 will defeat you. to those who seek peace and security - we support you. and to all those who have wondered if americas beacon still burns as bright - tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the en
26、during power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope.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.this election had many firsts and m
27、any stories that will be told for generations. but one thats on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in atlanta. shes 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.she was born j
28、ust a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldnt vote for two reasons - because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.and tonight, i think about all that shes seen throughout her century in america - the hear
29、tache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we cant, and the people who pressed on with that american creed: yes we can.at a time when womens voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. yes
30、we can.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.when the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise t
31、o greatness and a democracy was saved. yes we can.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.a man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in berlin, a world was connected
