跪求obama 8月29号的演讲稿
Four years ago,I stood before you and told you my story,of the brief union between a young man from Kenya and a young woman from Kansas who weren't well-off or well-known,but shared a belief that in America their son could achieve whatever he put his mind to.
It is that promise that's always set this country apart,that through hard work and sacrifice each of us can pursue our individual dreams,but still come together as one American family,to ensure that the next generation can pursue their dreams,as well.
That's why I stand here tonight.Because for 232 years,at each moment when that promise was in jeopardy,ordinary men and women -- students and soldiers,farmers and teachers,nurses and janitors -- found the courage to keep it alive.
We meet at one of those defining moments,a moment when our nation is at war,our economy is in turmoil,and the American promise has been threatened once more.
Now,I don't believe that Senator McCain doesn't care what's going on in the lives of Americans; I just think he doesn't know.
Why else would he define middle-class as someone making under $5 million a year?
It's not because John McCain doesn't care; it's because John McCain doesn't get it.
For over two decades -- for over two decades,he's subscribed to that old,discredited Republican philosophy:Give more and more to those with the most and hope that prosperity trickles down to everyone else.
In Washington,they call this the "Ownership Society," but what it really means is that you're on your own.Out of work?Tough luck,you're on your own.No health care?The market will fix it.You're on your own.Born into poverty?Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps,even if you don't have boots.You are on your own.
Well,it's time for them to own their failure.It's time for us to change America.And that's why I'm running for president of the United States.
So -- so let me -- let me spell out exactly what that change would mean if I am president.
Listen now -- I will cut taxes -- cut taxes -- for 95 percent of all working families,because,in an economy like this,the last thing we should do is raise taxes on the middle class.
And just as we keep our promise to the next generation here at home,so must we keep America's promise abroad.
If John McCain wants to have a debate about who has the temperament and judgment to serve as the next commander-in-chief,that's a debate I'm ready to have.
America,we cannot turn back...
...not with so much work to be done; not with so many children to educate,and so many veterans to care for; not with an economy to fix,and cities to rebuild,and farms to save; not with so many families to protect and so many lives to mend.
America,we cannot turn back.We cannot walk alone.
At this moment,in this election,we must pledge once more to march into the future.Let us keep that promise,that American promise,and in the words of scripture hold firmly,without wavering,to the hope that we confess.
Thank you.
