Obama終能在美國總統裡勝出, 我欣賞他在演說上的才能, 對家庭的重視, 大選前一天他接到的外婆過世了的惡耗, 那天對支持者發表的演說也提及有關外婆的事情,細聽他在此演說中的每一句, 都教人感動~~
"...They're not famous. Their names aren't in the newspapers, but each and every day they work hard. They sacrifice for their children and their grandchildren. They aren't seeking the limelight. All they try to do is just do the right thing. And in this crowd there are a lot of quiet heroes like that, mothers and fathers, grandparents who have worked hard and sacrificed all their lives," drawing satisfaction from the hope of a better life for their own offspring."
到在大選結果公佈後, Obama所發表的勝利演說也能振奮大部份美國人的心, 演說裡的內容值得慢慢反思消化~~
"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. 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 two-hundred and twenty-one years - block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand."
"The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep."
期待第四十四屆美國總統於二零零九年一月廿曰履行職務~~
