The President's The President's The President's The President's The President's The President's The President's The President's The President's
3
Thank you so much.
4
Thank you so much.
5
Oh, praise and honor to God for bringing us together here today.
6
Thank you so much.
7
I am so grateful to see all of you.
8
You guys are still 10 back there?
9
Let me begin by saying thanks to all of you who have traveled from far and wide to brave the cold today.
10
I know it's a little chilly, but I'm fired up.
11
We all made this journey for a reason.
12
It's humbling to see a crowd like this, but in my heart I know you didn't just come here for me.
13
You know?
14
So, you came here because you believe in what this country can be.
15
In the face of war, you believe there can be peace.
16
In the face of despair, you believe there can be hope.
17
In the face of a politics that shut you out, that's told you to settle, that's divided us for too long,
18
you believe that we can be one people, reaching out for what's possible, building that more perfect union.
19
That's the journey we're on today.
20
But let me tell you how I came to be here.
21
As most of you know, I'm not a native of this great state.
22
I'm not a native of this great state.
23
I moved to Illinois over two decades ago.
24
I was a young man then, just a year out of college.
25
I knew no one in Chicago when I arrived was without money or family connections.
26
But a group of churches had offered me a job as
27
a community organizer for the grand sum of $13 ,000 a year.
28
And I accepted the job sight unseen, motivated then by a single,
29
simple, powerful idea, that I might play a small part in building a better America.
30
My work took me to some of Chicago's poorest neighborhoods.
31
I joined with pastors and laypeople to deal with communities that had been ravaged by plant closings.
32
I saw that the problems people faced weren't simply local in nature, that the decisions to close a steel mill was made by distant executives,
33
that the lack of textbooks and computers in a school could be traced to skewed priorities of politicians a thousand miles away,
34
and that when a child turns to violence, I came to realize that there's a hole in that boy's heart that no government alone can fill.
35
It was in these neighborhoods that I received the best education that I ever had, and where I learned the meaning of my Christian faith.
36
After three years of this work, I went to law school because I wanted to understand how the law should work for those in need.
37
I became a civil rights lawyer and taught constitutional law.
38
And after a time, I came to understand that our cherished rights of liberty and equality
39
depend on the active participation of an awakened electorate.
40
It was with these ideas in mind that I arrived in this capital city as a state senator.
41
It was here in Springfield where I saw all that is America converge, farmers and teachers Cheers.
42
businessmen and laborers, all of them with a story to tell, all of them seeking a seat at the table,
43
all of them clamoring to be heard.
44
I made lasting friendships here, friends that I see in the audience here today.
45
It was here where we learned to disagree without being disagreeable,
46
that it's possible to compromise so long as you know those principles that can never be compromised,
47
and that so long as we're willing to listen to each other, we can assume the best in people instead of the worst.
48
It's why we were able to reform a death penalty system that was broken.
49
That's why we were able to give health insurance to children in need.
50
That's why we made the tax system right here in Springfield more fair and just for working families.
51
And that's why we passed ethics reform that the cynics said could never, ever be passed.
52
It was here in Springfield where
53
North, South, East and West come together that I was reminded of the essential decency of the American people,
54
where I came to believe that through this decency we can build a more hopeful America.
55
And that is why, in the shadow of the old state capitol,
56
where Lincoln once called on on a house divided to stand together where common hopes and common dreams still live,
57
I stand before you today to announce my candidacy for President of the United States of America.
58
Obama!
59
Obama!
60
Obama!
61
Obama!
62
Obama!
63
Obama!
64
Now, listen, I —
65
I recognize that there is a certain presumptuousness in this, a certain audacity to this announcement.
66
I know that I haven't spent a lot of time learning the ways of Washington.
67
But I've been there long enough to know that the ways of Washington must change.
68
The genius of our founders is that they designed a system of government that can be changed.
69
And we should take heart because we've changed this country before.
70
In the face of tyranny, a band of patriots bought an empire to its knees.
71
In the face of secession, we unified a nation and set the captives free.
72
In the face of depression, we put people back to work and lifted millions out of poverty.
73
We welcomed immigrants to our shores.
74
We opened railroads to the west we landed a man on the moon
75
and we heard a king's call to let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.
76
We've done this before.
77
Each and every time a new generation has risen up and done what's needed to be done.
78
Today we are called once more, and it is time for our generation to answer that call.
79
For that is our unyielding faith, that in the face of impossible odds, people who love their country can change it.
80
That's what Abraham Lincoln understood.
81
He had his doubts.
82
He had his defeats.
83
He had his skeptics, he had his setbacks, but through his will and his words, he moved a nation and helped free a people.
84
It's because of the millions who rallied to his cause that we're no longer divided, North and South, slave and free.
85
It's because men and women of every race, from every walk of life, continued to march
86
for freedom long after Lincoln was laid to rest
87
that today we had the chance to face the challenges of this millennium together as one people, as Americans.
88
All of us know what those challenges are today.
89
A war with no end.
90
dependence on oil that threatens our future, schools where too many children are learning,
91
and families struggling paycheck to paycheck despite working as hard as they can.
92
We know the challenges.
93
We've heard them.
94
We've talked about them for years.
95
What stopped us from meeting these challenges is not the absence of sound policies and sensible plans.
96
What stopped us is the failure of leadership, the smallness of our politics,
97
the ease with which we're distracted by the petty and trivial, our chronic avoidance of tough decisions,
98
our preference for scoring cheap political points instead of rolling up our sleeves
99
and building a working consensus to tackle the big problems of America.
100
For the past six years, we've been told that our mounting debts don't matter.
101
We've been told that the anxiety
102
Americans feel about rising health care costs and stagnant wages are an illusion.
103
We've been told that climate change is a hoax.
104
We've been told that tough talk and an ill -conceived war can replace diplomacy and strategy and foresight.
105
And when all else fails, when Katrina happens, or the death toll in Iraq mounts, we've been told that our crises are somebody else's fault.
106
We're distracted from our real failures and told to blame the other party, or gay people, or immigrants.
107
And as people have looked away in disillusionment and frustration, we know what's filled the avoid.
108
The cynics, the lobbyists, the special interests who've turned our government into a game only they can afford to play.
109
They write the checks and you get stuck with the bill.
110
They get the access while you get to write a letter.
111
They think they own this government, but we're here today to take it back.
112
The time for that kind of politics is over.
113
It It is through.
114
It's time to turn the page right here and right now.
115
Now look.
116
Obama!
117
Obama!
118
Obama!
119
Obama!
120
Thank you.
121
Thank you.
122
Thank you.
123
Look, look, we have made some progress already.
124
I was proud to help lead the fight in Congress that led to the most sweeping ethics reforms since Watergate.
125
But Washington has a long way to go, and it won't be easy.
126
That's why we'll have to set priorities.
127
We'll have to make hard choices.
128
And although government will play a crucial role in bringing about the changes that we need.
129
More money and programs alone will not get us to where we need to go.
130
Each of us, in our own lives, will have to accept responsibility for instilling an ethic of achievement in our children,
131
for adapting to a more competitive economy, for strengthening our communities and sharing some measure of sacrifice.
132
So let us begin.
133
Let us begin this hard work together.
134
Let us transform this nation.
135
Let us be the generation that reshapes our economy to compete in the digital age.
136
Let's set high standards for our schools and give them the resources they need to succeed.
137
Let's recruit a new army of teachers and give them better pay and more support in exchange for more accountability.
138
Let's make college more affordable.
139
And let's invest in scientific research.
140
And let's lay down broadband lines through the heart of inner cities and rural towns all across America.
141
We can do that.
142
And as our economy changes, let's be the generation that ensures our nation's workers are sharing in our prosperity.
143
Let's protect the hard -earned benefits their companies have promised.
144
Let's make it possible for hardworking
145
Americans to save for retirement.
146
Let's allow our unions and their organizers to lift up this country's middle class again.
147
We can do that.
148
Let's be the generation that ends poverty in America.
149
Every single person willing to work should be able to get job training that leads to a job,
150
and earn a living wage that can pay the bills, and afford childcare so their kids can have a safe place to go when they work.
151
We can do this.
152
And let's be the generation that finally after all these years tackles our health care crisis.
153
We can control costs by focusing on prevention, by providing better treatment to the chronically ill, and using technology to cut the bureaucracy.
154
Let's be the generation that says right here, right now, we will have universal health care in America by the end of the next
155
President's first term.
156
We can do that.
157
Let's be the generation that finally frees America from the tyranny of war.
158
We can harness homegrown alternative fuels like ethanol and spur the production of more fuel -efficient cars.
159
We can set up a system for capping greenhouse gases.
160
We can turn this crisis of global warming into a moment of opportunity for innovation
161
and job creation and an incentive for businesses that will serve as a model for the world.
162
Let's be the generation that makes future generations proud of what we did here.
163
Most of all,
164
let's be the generation that never forgets what happened on that September day and confront the terrorists with everything we've got.
165
Politics doesn't have to divide us on this anymore.
166
We can work together to keep our country safe.
167
I've worked with Republican Senator Dick Lugar to pass a law that will secure and destroy some of the world's deadliest weapons.
168
We can work together to track down terrorists.
169
With a stronger military, we can tighten the net around their finances.
170
We can improve our intelligence capabilities and finally get
171
Homeland Security right.
172
But let's also understand that ultimate victory against our enemies will only come by rebuilding our alliances
173
and exporting those ideals that bring hope and opportunity to millions of people around the globe.
174
We can do those things.
175
But all of this cannot come to pass until we bring an end to this war in Iraq.
176
Most of you know that I opposed this war from the start.
177
I thought it was a tragic mistake.
178
Today, we grieve for the families who have lost loved ones, the hearts that have been broken, and the young lives that could have been.
179
America, it is time to start bringing our troops home.
180
It's time to admit that no amount of American lives can resolve the political disagreement
181
that lies at the heart of someone else's civil war.
182
That's why I have a plan that will bring our combat troops home by March of 2008.
183
Let the Iraqis know that we will not be there forever is our last,
184
best hope to pressure the Sunni and Shia to come to the table and find peace.
185
And there's one other thing that it's not too late to get right about this war, and that is the homecoming of the men and women,
186
our veterans, who have sacrificed the most.
187
Let us honor their courage by providing the care they need and rebuilding the military they love.
188
Let us be the generation that begins that work.
189
I know there are those who don't believe we can do all these things.
190
I understand the skepticism.
191
After all, every four years, candidates from both parties make similar promises.
192
I expect this year will be no different.
193
All of us running for president will travel around the country offering 10 -point plans and making grand speeches.
194
All of us will trumpet those qualities we believe make us uniquely qualified to lead this country.
195
But too many times, after the election is over and the confetti is swept away, all those promises fade from memory,
196
and the lobbyists and special interests move in, and people turn away, disappointed as before, left to struggle on their own.
197
That's why this campaign can't only be about me.
198
It must be about us.
199
It must be about what we can do together.
200
This campaign must be the occasion, the vehicle of your hopes and your dreams.
201
It will take your time, your energy, and your advice to push us forward when we're doing right, and let us know when we're not.
202
This campaign has to be about reclaiming the meaning of citizenship, restoring our sense of common purpose,
203
and realizing that few obstacles can withstand the power of millions of voices calling for change.
204
By ourselves, this change will not happen.
205
Divided, we are bound to fail.
206
But the life of a tall, gangly, self -made
207
Springfield lawyer tells us that a different future is possible.
208
He tells us that there is power in words.
209
He tells us that there's power in conviction, that beneath all the differences of race and region faith and station, we are one people.
210
He tells us that there is power and hope.
211
As Lincoln organized the forces arrayed against slavery, he was heard to say this, of strange, discordant, and even hostile elements,
212
we gathered from the four winds and formed and fought to battle through.
213
That is our purpose here today.
214
That is why I'm in this race, not just to hold an office, but to gather with you to transform a nation.
215
I want to win that next battle for justice and opportunity.
216
I want to win that next battle for better schools and better jobs and better health care for all.
217
I want us to take up the unfinished business of perfecting our union and building a better America.
218
And if you will join with me in this improbable quest,
219
if you feel destiny calling and see as I see the future of endless possibilities stretching out before us.
220
If you sense, as I sense, that the time is now to shake off our slumber
221
and slough off our fears and make good on the debt we owe past and future generations,
222
then I am ready to take up the cause and march with you and work with you.
223
Today, together, we can finish the work that needs to be done and usher in a new birth of freedom on this earth.
224
Thank you very much, everybody.
225
Let's get to work.
226
I love you.
227
Thank you.
228
Higher and higher I said your love
229

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
