them” – he doesn39。t care whether you39。re a Democrat, a Republican, or none of the above...he knows that we all love our country...and he39。s always ready to listen to good ideas...he39。s always looking for the very best in everyone he I love that even in the toughest moments, when we39。re all sweating it – when we39。re worried that the bill won39。t pass, and it seems like all is lost – Barack never lets himself get distracted by the chatter and the like his grandmother, he just keeps getting up and moving forward...with patience and wisdom, and courage and he reminds me that we are playing a long game here...and that change is hard, and change is slow, and it never happens all at eventually we get there, we always get there because of folks like my Dad...folks like Barack39。s grandmother...men and women who said to themselves, “I may not have a chance to fulfill my dreams, but maybe my children will...maybe my grandchildren will.”So many of us stand here tonight because of their sacrifice, and longing, and steadfast love...because time and again, they swallowed their fears and doubts and did what was today, when the challenges we face start to seem overwhelming – or even impossible – let us never forget that doing the impossible is the history of this nation...it39。s who we are as Americans...it39。s how this country was if our parents and grandparents could toil and struggle for us...if they could raise beams of steel to the sky, send a man to the moon, and connect the world with the touch of a button...then surely we can keep on sacrificing and building for our own kids and if so many brave men and women could wear our country39。s uniform and sacrifice their lives for our most fundamental rights...then surely we can do our part as citizens of this great democracy to exercise those rights...surely, we can get to the polls and make our voices heard on Election farmers and blacksmiths could win independence from an empire...if immigrants could leave behind everything they knew for a better life on our shores...if women could be dragged to jail for seeking the vote...if a generation could defeat a depression, and define greatness for all time...if a young preacher could lift us to the mountaintop with his righteous dream...and if proud Americans can be who they are and boldly stand at the altar with who they love...then surely, surely we can give everyone in this country a fair chance at that great American in the end, more than anything else, that is the story of this country – the story of unwavering hope grounded in unyielding is what has made my story, and Barack39。s story, and so many other American stories I say all of this tonight not just as First Lady...and not just as a see, at the end of the day, my most important title is still “mominchief.”My daughters are still the heart of my heart and the center of my today, I have none of those worries from four years ago about whether Barack and I were doing what39。s best for our today, I know from experience that if I truly want to leave a better world for my daughters, and all our sons and daughters...if we want to give all our children a foundation for their dreams and opportunities worthy of their promise...if we want to give them that sense of limitless possibility – that belief that here in America, there is always something better out there if you39。re willing to work for it...then we must work like never before...and we must once again e together and stand together for the man we can trust to keep moving this great country forward...my husband, our President, President Barack you, God bless you, and God bless America.第二篇:美國第一夫人米歇爾奧巴馬著名演講美國第一夫人米歇爾奧巴馬著名演講——演講稿英文版一Thank you so much, Elaine...we are so grateful for your family39。s service and sacrifice...and we will always have your the past few years as First Lady, I have had the extraordinary privilege of traveling all across this everywhere I39。ve gone, in the people I39。ve met, and the stories I39。ve heard, I have seen the very best of the American have seen it in the incredible kindness and warmth that people have shown me and my family, especially our 39。ve seen it in teachers in a nearbankrupt school district who vowed to keep teaching without see, even though back then Barack was a Senator and a presidential candidate...to me, he was still the guy who39。d picked me up for our dates in a car that was so rusted out, I could actually see the pavement going by through a hole in the passenger side door...he was the guy whose proudest possession was a coffee table he39。d found in a dumpster, and whose only pair of decent shoes was half a size too when Barack started telling me about his family – that39。s when I knew I had found a kindred spirit, someone whose values and upbringing were so much like see, Barack and I were both raised by families who didn39。t have much in the way of money or material possessions but who had given us something far more valuable – their unconditional love, their unflinching sacrifice, and the chance to go places they had never imagined for father was a pump operator at the city water plant, and he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when my brother and I were even as a kid, I knew there were plenty of days when he was in pain...I knew there were plenty of mornings when it was a struggle for him to simply get out of every morning, I watched my father wake up with a smile, grab his walker, prop himself up against the bathroom sink, and slowly shave and button his when he returned home after a long day39。s work, my brother and I would stand at the top of the stairs to our little apartment, patiently waiting to greet him...watching as he reached down to lift one leg, and then the other, to slowly climb his way
