奥巴马胜选感言演讲稿
Hello, Chicago! 芝加哥，你好
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; 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. 如果有人怀疑美国是个一切皆有可能的地方，怀疑美国奠基者的梦想在我们这个时代依然燃烧，怀疑我们民主的力量，那么今晚这些疑问都有了答案。
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 very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference. 学校和教堂门外的长龙便是答案。
排队的人数之多，在美国历史上前所未有。
为了投票，他们排队长达三、四个小时。
许多人一生中第一次投票，因为他们认为这一次大选结果必须不同以往，而他们手中的一票可能决定胜负。
It's the answer spoken by young and old, 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. 无论年龄，无论贫富，无论民主党人或共和党人，无论黑人、白人，无论拉美裔、亚裔、印地安人, 无论同性恋、异性恋，无论残障人、健全人，所有的人，他们向全世界喊出了同一个声音：我们并不隶属 “红州”与 “蓝州”的对立阵营，我们属于，现在如此，永远如此
It's 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. 长久以来，很多人说：我们对自己的能量应该冷漠，应该恐惧，应该怀疑。
但是，历史之轮如今已在我们手中，我们又一次将历史之轮转往更美好的未来。
It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America. 漫漫征程，今宵终于来临。
特殊的一天，特殊的一次大选，特殊的决定性时刻，美国迎来了变革。
I just received a very gracious call from Sen. McCain. He fought long and hard in this campaign, and he's fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him and Gov. Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead. 刚才，参议员很有风度地给我打了个电话。
在这次竞选中，他的努力持久而艰巨。
为了这个他挚爱的国家，他的努力更持久、更艰巨。
他为美国的奉献超出绝大多数人的想象。
他是一位勇敢无私的领袖，有了他的奉献，我们的生活才更美好。
我对他和州长的成绩表示祝贺。
同时，我也期待着与他们共同努力，再续美国辉煌。
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 that train home to Delaware, the vice-president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden. 我要感谢我的竞选搭档——当选副总统乔?。
为了与他一起在斯克兰顿市街头长大、一起坐火车返回的人们，全心全意地竟选，他代表了这些普通人的声音。
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 and the love of my life, our nation's next first lady, Michelle Obama. Sasha and Malia, I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the White House. And while no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure. 我要感谢下一位第一夫人?奥巴马。
她是我家的中流砥柱，是我生命中的最爱。
没有她在过去16年来的坚定支持，今晚我就不可能站在这里。
我要感谢两个女儿和，我太爱你们两个了，你们将得到一条新的小狗，它将与我们一起入住白宫。
我还要感谢已去世的外婆，我知道此刻她正在天上注视着我。
她与我的家人一起造就了今天的我。
今夜我思念他们，他们对我的恩情比山高、比海深。
To my campaign manager, David Plouffe; my chief strategist, David Axelrod; and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics — you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done. 我要感谢我的竞选经理大卫?普鲁夫，感谢首席策划师大卫?阿克塞以及整个竞选团队，他们是政治史上最优秀的竞选团队。
你们成就了今夜，我永远感谢你们为今夜所付出的一切。
But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to — it belongs to you. 但最重要的是，我将永远不会忘记这场胜利真正属于谁---是你们
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. 我从来不是最有希望的候选人。
起初，我们的资金不多，赞助人也不多。
我们的竞选并非始于华盛顿的华丽大厅，而是起于德莫奈地区某家的后院、康科德地区的某家客厅、查尔斯顿地区的某家前廊。
It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to this 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 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 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 this earth. This is your victory. 劳动大众从自己的微薄积蓄中掏出5美元、10美元、20美元，拿来捐助我们的事业。
年轻人证明了他们绝非所谓“冷漠的一代”。
他们远离家乡和亲人，拿着微薄的报酬，起早摸黑地助选。
上了年纪的人也顶着严寒酷暑，敲开陌生人的家门助选。
无数美国人自愿组织起来，充当自愿者。
正是这些人壮大了我们的声势。
他们的行动证明了在两百多年以后，民有、民治、民享的政府并未从地球上消失。
这是你们的胜利。
第二部分等一下
奥巴马就职演讲稿
楼上的是竞选胜利演讲，不对啊。
[size]My fellow citizens: 各位同胞： I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition. 今天我站在这里，为眼前的重责大任感到谦卑，对各位的信任心怀感激，对先贤的牺牲铭记在心。
我要谢谢布什总统为这个国家的服务，也感 谢他在政权转移期间的宽厚和配合。
Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents. 四十四位美国人发表过总统就职誓言，这些誓词或是在繁荣富强及和平宁静之际发表，或是在乌云密布，时局动荡之时。
在艰困的时候，美国 能箕裘相继，不仅因为居高位者有能力或愿景，也因为人民持续对先人的抱负有信心，也忠于创建我国的法统。
So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans. 因此，美国才能承继下来。
因此，这一代美国人必须承继下去。
That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet. 现在大家都知道我们正置身危机核心，我国正处于对抗深远暴力和憎恨的战争。
我们的经济元气大伤，是某些人贪婪且不负责任的后果，也是 大众未能做出艰难的选择，为国家进入新时代做淮备所致。
许多人失去房子，丢了工作，生意垮了。
我们的医疗照护太昂贵，学校教育辜负了 许多人。
每天都有更多证据显示，我们利用能源的方式壮大我们的对敌，威胁我们的星球。
These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land - a nagging fear that America’s decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights. 这些都是得自资料和统计数据的危机指标。
比较无法测量但同样深沉的，是举国信心尽失—持续担心美国将无可避免地衰退，也害怕下一代一 定会眼界变低。
Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America - they will be met. 今天我要告诉各位，我们面临的挑战是真的，挑战非常严重，且不在少数。
它们不是可以轻易，或在短时间内解决。
但是，美国要了解，这些 挑战会被解决。
On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord. 在这一天，我们聚在一起，因为我们选择希望而非恐惧，有意义的团结而非纷争和不合。
On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics. 在这一天，我们来此宣示，那些无用的抱怨和虚伪的承诺已终结，那些扭曲我们政治已久的相互指控和陈旧教条已终结。
We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness. 我们仍是个年轻的国家，但借用圣经的话，摆脱幼稚事物的时刻到来了，重申我们坚忍精神的时刻到来了，选择我们更好的历史，实践那种代 代传承的珍贵权利，那种高贵的理念：就是上帝的应许，我们每个人都是平等的，每个人都是自由的，每个人都应该有机会追求全然的幸福。
In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted - for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things - some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom. 再次肯定我们国家的伟大，我们了解伟大绝非赐予而来，必须努力达成。
我们的旅程从来就不是抄捷径或很容易就满足。
这条路一直都不是给 不勇敢的人走的，那些偏好逸乐胜过工作，或者只想追求名利就满足的人。
恰恰相反，走这条路的始终是勇于冒险的人，做事的人，成事的人 ，其中有些人很出名，但更常见的是在各自岗位上的男男女女无名英雄，在这条漫长崎区的道路上支撑我们，迈向繁荣与自由。
For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life. 为了我们，他们携带很少的家当，远渡重洋，追寻新生活。
For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the West; endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth. 为了我们，他们胼手胝足，在西部安顿下来；忍受风吹雨打，筚路蓝缕。
For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sanh. 为了我们，他们奋斗不懈，在康科特和盖茨堡，诺曼地和溪山等地葬身。
Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life. They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction. 前人不断的奋斗与牺牲，直到双手皮开肉绽，我们才能享有比较好的生活。
他们将美国视为大于所有个人企图心总和的整体，超越出身、财富 或小圈圈的差异。
This is the journey we continue today. We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began. Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year. Our capacity remains undiminished. But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions - that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America. 这是我们今天继续前进的旅程。
我们仍旧是全球最繁荣强盛的国家。
这场危机爆发时，我们的劳工生产力并未减弱。
我们的心智一样创新，我 们的产品和劳务和上周或上个月或去年相比，一样是必需品。
我们的能力并未减损。
但是我们墨守成规、维护狭小利益、推迟引人不悦的决定 ，这段时期肯定已经过去。
从今天起，我们必须重新出发、再次展开再造美国的工程。
For everywhere we look, there is work to be done. The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act - not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth. We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology’s wonders to raise health care’s quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. And all this we will do. 我们无论朝何处望去，都有工作必须完成。
经济情势需要大胆、迅速的行动，我们将有所行动，不光是创造新工作，更要奠定成长的新基础。
我们将造桥铺路，为企业兴建电力网格与数位线路，将我们联系在一起。
我们将让科学回归合适的用途，运用科技的奇迹来提高医疗品质并降 低费用。
我们将利用太阳能、风力和土壤作为汽车的燃料和工厂的能源。
我们将让中小学及大专院校转型，因应新时代的需要。
这些我们可以 作到。
我们也将会作到。

奥巴马在2004年选举美国总统的演讲稿
是这篇么...是的我请选择我吧..感激不尽Obama: The Change We Need This is a defining moment in our history. We face the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression -- 760,000 workers have lost their jobs this year. Businesses and families can't get credit. Home values are falling, and pensions are disappearing. Wages are lower than they've been in a decade, at a time when the costs of health care and college have never been higher. At a moment like this, we can't afford four more years of spending increases, poorly designed tax cuts, or the complete lack of regulatory oversight that even former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan now believes was a mistake. America needs a new direction. That's why I'm running for president of the United States. Tomorrow, you can give this country the change we need. My opponent, Senator McCain, has served his country honorably. He can even point to a few moments in the past where he has broken from his party. But over the past eight years, he's voted with President Bush 90% of the time. And when it comes to the economy, he still can't tell the American people one major thing he'd do differently from George Bush. It's not change to come up with a tax plan that doesn't give a penny of relief to more than 100 million middle-class Americans -- a plan that even the National Review and other conservative organizations complain does far too little to benefit the middle class. It's not change to add more than $5 trillion to the deficits we've run up in recent years. It's not change to come up with a plan to address our housing crisis that puts another $300 billion of taxpayer money at risk -- a plan that the editorial board of this newspaper said 'raises more questions than it answers.' If there's one thing we've learned from this economic crisis, it's that we are all in this together. From CEOs to shareholders, from financiers to factory workers, we all have a stake in each other's success because the more Americans prosper, the more America prospers. That's why we've had titans of industry who've made it their mission to pay well enough that their employees could afford the products they made -- businessmen like Warren Buffett, whose support I'm proud to have. That's why our economy hasn't just been the world's greatest wealth creator -- it's been the world's greatest job generator. It's been the tide that has lifted the boats of the largest middle class in history. To rebuild that middle class, I'll give a tax break to 95% of workers and their families. If you work, pay taxes, and make less than $200,000, you'll get a tax cut. If you make more than $250,000, you'll still pay taxes at a lower rate than in the 1990s -- and capital gains and dividend taxes one-third lower than they were under President Reagan. We'll create two million new jobs by rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure and laying broadband lines that reach every corner of the country. I'll invest $15 billion a year over the next decade in renewable energy, creating five million new, green jobs that pay well, can't be outsourced, and can help end our dependence on Middle East oil. When it comes to health care, we don't have to choose between a government-run system and the unaffordable one we have now. My opponent's plan would make you pay taxes on your health-care benefits for the first time in history. My plan will make health care affordable and accessible for every American. If you already have health insurance, the only change you'll see under my plan is lower premiums. If you don't, you'll be able to get the same kind of plan that members of Congress get for themselves. To give every child a world-class education so they can compete in this global economy for the jobs of the 21st century, I'll invest in early childhood education and recruit an army of new teachers. But I'll also demand higher standards and more accountability. And we'll make a deal with every young American: If you commit to serving your community or your country, we will make sure you can afford your tuition. And when it comes to keeping this country safe, I'll end the Iraq war responsibly so we stop spending $10 billion a month in Iraq while it sits on a huge surplus. For the sake of our economy, our military and the long-term stability of Iraq, it's time for the Iraqis to step up. I'll finally finish the fight against bin Laden and the al Qaeda terrorists who attacked us on 9\\\/11, build new partnerships to defeat the threats of the 21st century, and restore our moral standing so that America remains the last, best hope of Earth. None of this will be easy. It won't happen overnight. But I believe we can do this because I believe in America. This is the country that allowed our parents and grandparents to believe that even if they couldn't go to college, they could save a little bit each week so their child could; that even if they couldn't have their own business, they could work hard enough so their child could open one of their own. And at every moment in our history, we've risen to meet our challenges because we've never forgotten the fundamental truth that in America, our destiny is not written for us, but by us. So tomorrow, I ask you to write our nation's next great chapter. I ask you to believe -- not just in my ability to bring about change, but in yours. Tomorrow, you can choose policies that invest in our middle class, create new jobs, and grow this economy so that everyone has a chance to succeed. You can choose hope over fear, unity over division, the promise of change over the power of the status quo. If you give me your vote, we won't just win this election -- together, we will change this country and change the world. 现在是美国历史的关键时刻。
我们面临着大萧条以来最为严重的一场经济危机：今年以来已经有76万人失业；企业和家庭无法获得信贷；房价不断下滑，养老金日益缩水；工资降到了十年来的最低水平，同时医疗和教育成本却涨到了有史以来的最高点。
在眼下这样的危急时刻，我们承受不起又一个四年的支出增长、千疮百孔的减税措施、或是监管全无──即使是美国联邦储备委员会（Fed）前主席格林斯潘（Alan Greenspan）现在也承认那是个错误。
美国需要一个新的方向。
这也正是我竞选美国总统的原因所在。
明天，也就是周二，你们将有能力赋予这个国家我们所需要的变革。
Corbis我的竞选对手麦凯恩参议员为美国作出的贡献令人尊敬。
他甚至可以指出他过去曾有几次与自己的党派分道扬镳。
然而，在过去八年中，他十之八九都赞同布什总统的主张。
而在经济问题上，他仍然无法向美国民众说明，他与布什的做法会有什么太大区别。
如果提出的税收计划没有让1亿多美国中产阶级获得一分钱的税项减免，这不是变革──即使是《国家评论》（National Review）杂志和其他保守派组织也抱怨说，这个计划对造福中产阶级贡献寥寥。
在近年来不断累积的财政赤字上再添5万亿美元，这不是变革。
如果解决房市危机的计划又将另外3,000亿美元纳税人的钱置于风险之中，这不是变革──《华尔街日报》编辑委员会称这一计划“产生的问题比解决的问题多”。
如果说我们从此次经济危机中学到了什么的话，那就是我们要患难与共。
从首席执行长到公司股东，从金融家到工厂工人，我们每个人都休戚相关，因为美国的民众越富足，美国才会越繁荣。
这就是为什么我们有些企业巨头把提高员工薪酬作为自己的一项使命，让员工能买得起自己生产的产品，比如巴菲特（Warren Buffett）这样的商界人士。
我对能有他的支持感到自豪。
这就是为什么美国经济不仅是世界上最伟大的财富创造者，也是世界上最伟大的就业机会制造者。
它一直托举着有史以来规模最大的中产阶级之舟。
为了重塑美国中产阶级，我将给予95%的工人及其家庭税收减免待遇。
如果你工作，就交税；如果年收入不足20万美元，你会获得减税；即使你的年收入超过了25万美元，你所负担的税率也比上世纪九十年代要低──资本利得税和股息税要比里根总统时期低三分之一。
通过重建日益破败的基础设施、在美国的各个角落接通宽带，我们将创造200万个就业岗位。
未来的十年中，我将每年在可再生能源领域投资150亿美元，进而新增500万个岗位；这些工作环保、薪酬丰厚、不能外包，而且能帮助我们摆脱对中东石油的依赖。
在医疗问题上，我们不必在政府运营的体系和目前这种我们难以负担的体系之间进行选择。
我的竞选对手提出的方案会令美国人有史以来首次为自己获得的医疗福利纳税。
我的计划则会让医疗保健成为每个美国人都负担得起、享受得到的服务。
根据我的计划，如果你已经有了医疗保险，你将看到的唯一一个变化是保费降低；如果你还没有医疗保险，你将能与国会议员们享受到同样的医疗福利。
为了让每个孩子享受到世界级的教育，让他们能在全球经济中竞争21世纪的工作岗位，我将投资早期教育，并且增加师资力量。
不过，我同时也会要求更高的标准和更多的责任。
我们向每个美国年轻人作出承诺：如果你致力于服务你的社区或是你的国家，我们将确保你能负担得起自己的学费。
在国防安全问题上，我将负责任地结束伊拉克战争，这样我们就不必在这个国家享有巨额财政盈余的情况下每月却要在那里花费100亿美元。
为了美国的经济、美国的军队和伊拉克的长期稳定，现在是伊拉克人站出来的时候了。
我将最终完成对本·拉登（Bin Laden）和基地组织恐怖分子的打击，正是这些人制造了9\\\/11恐怖袭击，同时我还会建立新的合作关系、击退21世纪出现的威胁，恢复我们的道德威望，让美国仍然是地球上最后也是最好的希望。
这些事情没有一件是轻而易举能办到的，也不是一朝一夕能完成的。
但是，我坚信我们能成功，因为我对美国深信不疑。
是美国使我们的父辈相信，即使他们自己无法上大学，也可以每周积攒下一些钱来，让他们的孩子接受好的教育；即使他们不能拥有自己的企业，也可以通过努力工作让自己的孩子创办企业。
在美国历史的每个时刻，我们都勇敢地站起来面对挑战，因为我们从来没有忘记过这样一个基本真理：在美国，我们的命运并非天定，而是掌握在我们自己的手中。
所以，明天，我恳请你们书写美国下一个伟大的篇章。
我恳请你们不只相信我带来变革的能力，还有你们自己的能力。
明天，你们可以选择这样一种政策──向美国中产阶级进行投入、创造新的就业岗位、实现经济增长让人人都有成功的机会。
你们可以选择希望而非恐惧、选择团结而非分裂、选择变革的希望而非墨守成规。
如果你们投我的票，我们将不仅赢得此次竞选，还将一起改变这个国家、改变这个世界。
奥巴马的演讲稿都很长，我想问下奥巴马是把他的演讲稿全部背下来吗
还是演讲稿是后来根据他的录音整理的
当然是写手准备好的，事先奥巴马酝酿一下。
熟记之后，驾轻就熟运用到演讲之中。
每个政治家都会如此，临阵磨枪的少之甚少
奥巴马竞选演讲稿 中文
奥巴马演讲稿篇一：奥巴马就职演讲稿(英汉对照)奥巴马英文就职演讲稿If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible;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 very first time in their lives,because they believed that this time must be different;that their voice could be that difference.It's the answer spoken by young and old,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.It's 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 oncemore toward the hope of a better day.It's been a long i
奥巴马最著名的演讲是哪一次?
是不同时期起到不同作用的演讲，你看喜欢篇吧。
第一篇 The Audacity of Hope有希望则无所畏惧奥巴马在美国民主党全国代表大会上的主题演讲，是令奥巴马从美国一个小州（伊利诺伊州）走向白宫的一次具有里程碑意义的重要演讲。
本次演讲对于时年43岁的奥巴马来说也是一次重大考验，是一个向全党、全国及全世界推销自己的绝好机会，成功则能威名远扬，失败则可能会黯然退出民主党的政治中心。
事实证明奥巴马没有辜负民主党元老们的重托，演讲取得了巨大成功，为其在党内的地位奠定了坚实的基础，也为其以后的大选奠定了基础。
第二篇 Change Is Coming to America变革正向美国走来这是奥巴马在艾奥瓦州初选获胜的演讲。
奥巴马进行此番演讲时，两党的选情都呈胶着状态，民主党方面尤其如此。
前第一夫人希拉里·克林顿与参议员巴拉克·奥巴马短兵相接，在不同的民意调查中分别领先。
奥巴马在艾奥瓦州的胜出对于年轻气盛但经验远远不够丰富的他来说不亚于久旱后的甘雨，来得恰是时候。
开局的胜利让奥巴马踌躇满志，信心倍增，因此他1月3日的胜选演讲可谓如行云流水，一气呵成，气势如虹，气吞山河，而在场的上千名观众听得也是如醉如痴，欢声雷动。
第三篇 A More Perfect Union更加完善的联邦这是奥巴马在宾夕法尼亚州费城发表的演讲，也是他在参选以后第一次就种族问题发表公开演讲。
2008年初的初选过程中，奥巴马皈依的芝加哥圣三位一体联合基督教教会牧师赖特以前在布道时发表的一些仇恨白人和反美的激情演讲片段被媒体公布，全国顿时一片哗然，奥巴马顿时陷入严重的信任危机。
3月18日，奥巴马在费城美国宪法中心发表了此篇深入探讨美国种族问题的演讲，获得好评如潮，成功地走出了信任危机。
本篇译文参考了王道余先生发表在互联网上的译文，在此向他致谢。
第四篇 Remembering Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.缅怀马丁·路德·金这番演讲发表于印第安纳州纪念马丁·路德·金遇刺40周年的集会上。
在此番演讲中，奥巴马号召美国人民继续金博士终生追求的事业——追求社会正义和经济正义，并指出要实现马丁·路德·金的美国梦还有很长的路要走。
本文大量引用了马丁·路德·金在被刺杀前夕的布道演讲“I've been to the mountaintop”。
第五篇 Yes We Can是的，我们能本次演讲是奥巴马在北卡罗来纳州初选获胜的感言，地点是在北卡罗来纳州州立大学的雷诺兹体育馆。
从1月3日初选开始以来，为赢取党内提名，奥巴马和希拉里展开了旷日持久、势均力敌的争夺战，两大选举阵营投入了大量人力和物力进行选举宣传战，彼此互有攻击。
但因为希拉里在选举人票数上一直落后于奥巴马，所以她的选举阵营就加大了对奥巴马的攻击力度。
在本次演讲中，奥巴马强调了民主党要团结一致对抗共和党候选人麦凯恩。
第六篇 The Future Lies Ahead未来就在前方这是奥巴马于2008年5月25日在康涅狄格州的卫斯理公会大学毕业生典礼上的演讲稿。
演讲人原定的是参议员Edward M. Kennedy，但由于他被诊断患有恶性脑瘤而送院治疗，奥巴马临危受命代替肯尼迪前往演讲，同时接受该校为其授予的名誉法学博士学位。
在本次演讲中，奥巴马敦促毕业生要积极投身于社区服务工作。
The Atlantic杂志资深记者、曾任美国前总统吉米·卡特首席白宫讲稿撰写人的James Fallows曾对奥巴马的本篇演讲稿大加赞赏，认为奥巴马“has gotten better at the necessary poetry of ceremonial speaking” 并且“passed that test”。
该演讲必将成为毕业典礼演讲的典范。
第七篇 Their Lives Are a Model for Us All他们是我们学习的榜样这是奥巴马2008年5月26日在阵亡将士纪念日集会上的演讲，地点为美国新墨西哥州，听众中大部分为军人。
Memorial Day是美国大多数州都要纪念的节日，时间为5月的最后一个星期一。
美国总统同时也是三军总司令，所以争取得到军人的支持尤显重要，奥巴马利用阵亡将士纪念日向美国军人表示敬意，一方面是他真情的流露，另一方面也是选举的需要。
该篇演讲短小精悍，感人至深。
第八篇 Our Responsibility as Fathers父亲的责任奥巴马2008年6月15日在芝加哥南部的上帝使徒教堂参加周日礼拜（Sunday Services）时发表了演讲，该日正好是父亲节（6月的第三个周日）。
奥巴马结合自己的身世就父亲在家庭社会的责任发表演讲。
他批评美国父亲在家庭中父亲角色的缺失，敦促他们、尤其是黑人父亲在抚养子女方面承担起更多的责任。
奥巴马的这篇演讲获得普遍好评，加深了人们对他是个有责任感的总统候选人的印象。
从演讲中可以看出，他强调的竞争是一种“追求卓越”，同时又要兼具“同理心”的价值观。
他的强者观念是：“把别人击倒的人不是强者，把别人扶起来的人才是强者”。
第九篇 The America We Love我们所热爱的美国这是奥巴马2008年6月30日在杜鲁门总统的故乡密苏里州独立城所作的演讲。
自从奥巴马参选美国总统以来，竞争对手一直利用他非裔美国人的身份质疑并攻击他的爱国情怀，比如批评他没有佩戴国旗胸针、没有宣誓对美国效忠，攻击他唱国歌时没有把手放在胸口等等。
在这样真真假假的媒体攻势下，大批选民被蒙蔽，开始怀疑奥巴马是否是一个爱国者。
为此，奥巴马特意选择了7月4日美国国庆节到来之前发表本演讲，向美国选民表明他的爱国之心，同时向人们阐明何谓爱国，何谓不爱国。
第十篇 Veterans Should be Honored向老兵致敬奥巴马的选举力量来自基层民众，但是美国总统同时也是三军总司令，所以争取得到军人的支持尤显重要。
基于自己并没有在军队服过役，更没有对手麦凯恩的赫赫战功可以向世人炫耀，奥巴马利用美国国庆前夕向退伍军人表示敬意，这一方面是他真情的流露，另一方面也是选举的需要。
尽管美国北达科他州历来是共和党的天下，即所谓的红州，但奥巴马仍不放弃任何机会，充分发挥自己的演讲优势，第二次到该州演讲拉选票，他的竞选官员相信奥巴马有机会赢得该州的选票。
不过最后还是麦凯恩赢得了该州的选举人票。
第十一篇 The America's Promise美国的承诺2008年8月28日是美国民主党历史上值得大书特书的日子，因为在这一天奥巴马被正式提名为民主党的美国总统候选人，代表民主党参加2008年11月4日美国总统大选，这是美国历史上第一位获得党内提名参加总统大选的黑人。
本篇演讲是奥巴马在科罗拉多州丹佛市举行的民主党全国代表大会上正式接受提名时向在场的八万四千多名来自全国的民主党党员发表的里程碑式演讲。
可以说，至此奥巴马已经创造了历史。
第十二篇 Financial Crisis Requires Action金融危机需要我们行动起来这是2008年10月17日奥巴马在弗吉尼亚州罗阿诺克市的演讲，针对美国愈演愈烈的金融危机以及麦凯恩开出的治国政策，给出了自己的大政方针。
他用雄辩的事实和辛辣但不刺耳的语言有力回击了麦凯恩阵营的攻击。
有些共和党的死硬派听了奥巴马的演讲后也转变了立场，改为拥护奥巴马。
第十三篇 This Is Your Victory这是美国人民的胜利2008年11月4日，奥巴马成为美国历史上第一位黑人总统。
奥巴马当晚在其芝加哥的竞选总部向现场15000名支持者发表了胜选演讲，演讲谈古论今、旁征博引、气势磅礴、文采华丽，为奥巴马历时两年的竞选之路画上了圆满的句号。
第十四篇 New Era of Responsibility (Inaugural Speech)开创负责任的新时代（就职演说）2009年1月20日，近200万美国民众聚集在华盛顿的国家广场（National Mall），在这个1963年马丁路德金高呼“I have a dream”的地方，见证美国历史上第一位黑人总统的诞生。
中午12点刚过，奥巴马将手放在林肯1861年宣誓就职时用过的《圣经》上宣誓就任美国第44任总统。
整个演说振奋人心，充满着对美国历史的追溯和对未来生活的希望。
