【正文】 我認(rèn)為，政府應(yīng)該是可以依賴的，應(yīng)該是有效的，應(yīng)該允許人們自由地作出他們認(rèn)為對(duì)自己和家人最好的選擇，只要這種選擇不對(duì)他人造成損害。我認(rèn)為，是企業(yè)家的干勁和謀略、工人的技能和奉獻(xiàn)精神讓我們成為了地球上最富有的國家。我從來都不認(rèn)為，政府對(duì)我們面臨的所有問題都有答案。這就是與此次大選有關(guān)的東西，這就是你們將在11月份面臨的選擇。克里夫蘭的同胞們這不是我所知道的美國，也不是我們所信任的美國。他們的論點(diǎn)是，我們應(yīng)讓保險(xiǎn)公司再次拒絕為病人提供醫(yī)保，讓信用卡公司再次沒有任何理由地調(diào)高利息，而不是象過去幾代人那樣，努力為我們的兒孫輩建設(shè)一個(gè)更好的國家?，F(xiàn)在，如果他承認(rèn)共和黨在執(zhí)政8年期間所犯下的錯(cuò)誤，并提供一種可以信賴的新辦法來解決美國的問題，那就是另一回事；但他沒有。那正是現(xiàn)在正在發(fā)生的事情。人們因此對(duì)未來感到泄氣、憤怒和焦慮，我能理解。中產(chǎn)階級(jí)仍在徘徊觀望，那些渴望達(dá)到中產(chǎn)階級(jí)的人則正在竭盡所能地避免降階。甚至在我們的政策有機(jī)會(huì)起到作用以前，就已經(jīng)失去了數(shù)百萬個(gè)工作崗位這個(gè)漏洞是如此之深，以至于即使工作崗位已重新開始增加，卻仍有數(shù)百萬美國人處于失業(yè)狀態(tài)。由于我們所實(shí)施的經(jīng)濟(jì)計(jì)劃，現(xiàn)在大約已有300萬美國人重返工作崗位。我們也是那樣做的。但是，在我宣誓就職的那個(gè)月，美國失去了將近80萬個(gè)工作崗位。但我們知道，事情并未象我們希望的那樣發(fā)展。在我們生命里最嚴(yán)重的經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退周期中，過去十年中有缺陷的政策和經(jīng)濟(jì)不景氣達(dá)到了高潮。這就是我信任的美國，這就是當(dāng)我擔(dān)任社區(qū)組織者時(shí)，引導(dǎo)我在芝加哥南區(qū)一家已經(jīng)關(guān)閉的鋼鐵廠努力工作的東西；這就是當(dāng)我擔(dān)任參議員時(shí)，引導(dǎo)我為整個(gè)伊利諾斯州即將被關(guān)閉的制造廠的工人努力抗?fàn)幍臇|西；這就是引導(dǎo)我競選總統(tǒng)的東西因?yàn)槲也幌嘈?，在沒有強(qiáng)大而成長中的中產(chǎn)階級(jí)的情況下，我們能擁有強(qiáng)大而成長的經(jīng)濟(jì)。他們信任這樣的美國：《美國退伍軍人權(quán)利法案》讓我的祖父能有機(jī)會(huì)上大學(xué)；聯(lián)邦住宅管理局讓我的祖母能有機(jī)會(huì)買房子；教育貸款和獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金讓他們的兒輩和孫輩有機(jī)會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的夢(mèng)想。是的，我們的家人信仰自力更生和個(gè)人責(zé)任的美國價(jià)值觀，他們潛移默化地將這種價(jià)值觀傳給了子女。我的單身母親自己放棄了學(xué)業(yè)，但卻為了確保我能獲得體面的教育而在黎明前起床。如你所知，米歇爾奧巴馬和我之所以能有今天，是因?yàn)殡m然我們的家人并不擁有很多東西，但他們都不知疲倦而毫無怨言地工作，來讓我們能有更好的生活。我競選總統(tǒng)的原因在于，我相信這種類型的經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展是無法持續(xù)的對(duì)中產(chǎn)階級(jí)和美國未來而言都是如此。人們被迫將更多的債務(wù)轉(zhuǎn)為信用卡還款，并借款來購買許多人原本買不起的房子。在2006年到2008年之間，就業(yè)增長的速度低于二戰(zhàn)以來任何一個(gè)經(jīng)濟(jì)擴(kuò)張時(shí)期中的增長速度甚至比過去一年中的增長速度還要緩慢。消費(fèi)者購買了更多的獨(dú)立產(chǎn)權(quán)公寓、更大的汽車和更好的電視機(jī)。我們看到過，金融公司和CEO們將創(chuàng)下歷史記錄的利潤和獎(jiǎng)金納入囊中。這種想法的實(shí)質(zhì)是，如果我們對(duì)市場(chǎng)有著盲目的忠誠；如果我們讓公司按照它們自己制定的規(guī)則運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)；如果我們讓其他所有人自己謀生，那么美國就將成長和繁榮。這并非是說，這場(chǎng)選舉沒有暴露出兩黨之間深廣的差異。我們還希望獲得一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)來跳出某些舊有的政治分野民主黨與共和黨之間的分野、紅州與藍(lán)州之間的分野這種分野阻止我們?nèi)〉眠M(jìn)展。那是一個(gè)充滿希望的時(shí)刻，距離總統(tǒng)大選僅有兩天時(shí)間。這就是轉(zhuǎn)換態(tài)度，即：“不用問美國能給我做什么，而要問我能為美國做什么”下午好，俄亥俄，能回到這里真好。ve now, the wind has started(laughter)so it39。m “Miche” to Craig and to my niece and sleep on the pullout couch in Craig39。m Coach Robinson39。ll carry with you for the rest of your are the experiences that make you who you that is as true for me today as it was back when Craig and I were growing up in that little apartment in see, when I e out here to Corvallis and I visit my family, I39。ve exchanged with your friends here at OSU, but you will remember how they cheered you on at your game, right? You will remember how they brought you chocolate and spent hours forting you when your boyfriend or girlfriend dumped jerks.(Laughter.)You will remember all the hours spent diligently studying in the librarythat one39。t just tell people that you love them, show that means showing means being truly present in the lives of the people you care about.“Liking” them on Facebook doesn39。re in a fight with someone, make you39。d always done the same for whenever Craig and I saw him struggling to walk and we worried that life was getting too hard for him, my Mom would always reassure us that he was so proud of us, so proud to be our father that he felt like the luckiest guy ever to walk the all of that gave me a sense of peacea sense that I had no unfinished business with my that39。t had this physical sense of grief, this emptiness in my life that I just couldn39。ve formed here at OSU, what makes life truly rich are the people you share it that brings me to the final lesson I want to offer today, and that is, wherever you go, whatever you do, don39。ve all learned from the friends you39。s what it means to be your true means looking inside yourself and being honest about what you truly enjoy graduates, I can promise you that you will never be happy plodding through someone else39。t about being impressive, it39。t about how your life looks to others, it39。s office。t want to be up in some tall office building writing legal wanted to be down on the ground helping the folks I grew up was living the dream, but it wasn39。s hard to know what that means, right? And as you grow older, often it39。t give up when things got , they just dug deeper, and worked harder, and refused to give up on the success that they dreamed that actually brings me to the second lesson I want to share about leading a rich life, and that is to define success on your own , growing up, my parents always told me and Craig to be true to really, when you39。s earning his degree in Chemical understand that as a member of OSU39。s receiving her degree in Construction Engineering and Management.(Applause.)Yes, advice to other young people is very says, “with hard work and dedication, anything is possible.” And then there39。s parents are agricultural workers with a grade school education, and she came to Oregon State determined to build a better life for her fourmonthold addition to being a single mom, she39。ve lost? Or do you focus on what you still have, and find a way to move forward with passion, with determination, and with joy? And I know that many of you in this graduating class have already faced this choice in your own livesTonga shared with us there is also one of today39。d give my eyes 100 times again to have the chance to do what I have done and what I can still do.” And, graduates, more than anything else, that will be the true measure of your successnot how well you do when you39。d been blinded by an IED explosion in peted in this year39。re going to run and they39。re reimagining their tell me that they39。t dwelling on what they39。ve spent months learning to walk again and talk despite the challenges, they aren39。ve endured dozens of surgeries。ve seen this firsthandthe sacrifices that our American heroes are First Lady, I39。t think about how our dadand how much he sacrificed for me and Craig to be the people we are today, as First Lady, I see that same spirit, that same kind of sacrifice, in people I meet all across this see it in parents like my dad, struggling to support their see it in students like all of you, working so hard to get an see it in young people who are serving this country in uniform, facing challenges that most of us couldn39。s provider and to give me and Craig the kind of opportunities he39。re dad taught us this lesson every day by how he lived his dad was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when my brother and I were still very as he got sicker it got harder for him to walk, and it took him longer to dress himself in the dad had been an athlete all of his
