とみさんこんばんわー


んー友達って難しいですよねぇ……でも私もずっと友達ってなんだろうって悩んでるのでとみさんだけじゃないですよ！

でもたまには一人でいるのもいいかもです。

Hello, Chicago!

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 first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.

It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or 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've been told for so long, by so many, to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about 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.

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.

A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Senator McCain. Senator McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he's fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.

I congratulate him, I congratulate Governor Palin for all that they've achieved. And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.

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 the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.

And 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, the love of my life, the nation's next First Lady, Michelle Obama.

Sasha and Malia! I love you both more than you can imagine. And you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the White House.

And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother's watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight. I know that my debt to them is beyond measure. To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you've given me. I'm grateful to them.

To my campaign manager, David Plouffe! The unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best, the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America.

To my chief strategist, David Axelrod, who's been a partner with me every step of the way.

To 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.

But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you. It belongs to you.

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. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause.

It drew 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.

It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and 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.

And I know you didn't do this just to win an election. And I know you didn't do it for me. You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime: two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.

Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan, to risk their lives for us.

There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after the children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor's bills, or save enough for their child's college education.

There's new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair.

The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we WILL get there.

I promise you, we as a people will get there.

There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the government can't solve every problem.

But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it's been done in America for 221 years; block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.

What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice. So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.

Let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers.

In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people. Let's resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.

Let's remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House, a party founded on the values of self-reliance and individual liberty and national unity. Those are values that we all share. And while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.

As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies but friends. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.

And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your president, too.

And all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared; and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.

To those who would tear the world down. We will defeat you.
To those who seek peace and security. We support you. And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright, tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.

That's the true genius of America; that America can change. Our Union can be perfected. What we've already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.

This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election, except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.

She was born just a generation past slavery. A time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky, when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons: because she was a woman, and because of the color of her skin.

And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America. The heartache and the hope, the struggle and the progress. The times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes, we can.

At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes, we can.

When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose. Yes, we can.

When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness, and a democracy was saved. Yes, we can.

She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that "We Shall Overcome." Yes, we can.

A man touched down on the moon. A wall came down in Berlin. A world was connected by our own science and imagination.

And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote; because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change.

Yes, we can.

America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves, if our children should live to see the next century, if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?

This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubt and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.

Thank you. God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America.

荒らしやめてください

殺すぞ＊＊がしネ

これはバラク･オバマ氏が初めて大統領になった時のあの有名すぎる演説です
これを訳しなさい

……は

ありがとう、ありがとう。本当にどうもありがとう。

元植民地が自分たちの宿命を自ら決める権利を勝ち取ってから200年以上たったこの夜、この国の団結をより完成させるための仕事が、さらに前に進みます。前進するのは、皆さんのおかげです。戦争や恐慌に打ち勝った心を、皆さんが再確認してくれたからです。この国を深い絶望の淵から素晴らしい希望の高みへと引き上げてくれた心のことです。私たちがそれぞれに個人の夢を追求する一方で、私たちはみな同じアメリカの家族なのだと。私たちはひとつの国、ひとつの国民として一緒に浮きも沈みもするのだという、信念のことです。

この夜、この選挙では皆さんが、アメリカの人たちが、念押ししてくれました。私たちの旅路は辛く長いけれども、それでも私たちは立ち上がり、巻き返すために戦ってきたのだと。そしてアメリカ合衆国にとって最高の日々はこれからなんだと、私たちは胸の奥底で承知しているのだと。

この選挙に参加した全てのアメリカ人に感謝したい思いです。初めて投票した人にも、投票するため延々並んだ人にも。ちなみにあれは直さなきゃならない。あちこちの歩道を歩き回った人も。電話をしてくれた人も。オバマ支持の看板を持った人も、ロムニーの看板を持った人も。皆さんは声を上げてくれた。そして変化をもたらしたのです。

つい先ほど、ロムニー知事と話をして、懸命に戦った選挙戦について知事とポール・ライアンに祝意を伝えました。私たちは激しく戦った。けれどもそれは、この国を深く愛しているからこそ。この国の未来をとても大事に思っているからこそです。ロムニー一家は、ジョージからレノア、そしてお二人の息子ミットに至るまで、公共への奉仕を通じてアメリカに恩返しをしてきました。私たちはこの夜、その伝統を尊重し称えます。これから数週間の間にロムニー知事と一緒になって、この国を前進させるためにどう協力できるかをじっくり話し合いたいと思い、楽しみにしています。

過去4年にわたり友人とパートナーでいてくれた人にも感謝したいです。アメリカの幸福な戦士、これ以上はないという最高の副大統領、ジョー・バイデンです。

そして20年前に結婚を承諾してくれた女性がいなければ、今の私はありません。ミシェル、公の場ではっきり言わせてもらいたい。今までで一番、君を愛してる。僕が君を愛するように、アメリカ中が君をファーストレディとして愛するようになるのを、僕はずっと眺めてきた。こんな誇らしいことはない。

サーシャとマリーア。みんなの目の前で君たちはどんどん大きくなって、お母さんにそっくりの、強くて賢くて美しい若い女性になっていく。本当にすごく誇りに思ってるよ。ただし当分の間は、犬は一匹で十分だと思う。

政治史上最高の選挙チームとボランティアのみんなにも。最高の、本当に最高の。今回初めての人たちもいたし、一番最初から側にいてくれた人たちもいる。みんな、家族です。みなさんが今後何をするにしても、どこへ行くにしても、みんなで一緒に作ったこの歴史の記憶はあなたの中に残る。そしてこの大統領はみなさんに終生、感謝し続けます。ずっと信じてくれて、ありがとう。あらゆる丘の上へ、あらゆる谷間へ、一緒に来てくれてありがとう。皆さんはずっと僕を盛り立ててくれた。皆さんの努力と素晴らしい働きに、僕はいつまでも感謝し続けます。

選挙戦というのはくだらないものに見えることがある。ばかばかしく見えることだってある。それは承知しています。そのせいで、政治なんてしょせんエゴのぶつかり合いでしかないとか、特定利益が支配する領域に過ぎないとか、そうやって斜に構える連中に冷笑されてしまう。けれども実際に私たちの集会に来てくれた人たち、高校の体育館でロープに沿って並んだ人たちの話を聞いてもらったら、あるいは自宅を遠く離れた小さな地区の選挙事務所で遅くまで働く人たちを見てくれたら、たぶん違うものを目にすると思います。

そうすれば、働きながら大学に通う若い活動員の決意のほどを聞くでしょう。どの子供も自分と同じように大学に行けるようにしたいという、彼の強い思いを知るでしょう。地元の自動車工場がシフトを増やしたからやっときょうだいが働けるようになったという、若いボランティアに会えば、彼女がどれだけ誇りに思っているかを知るでしょう。彼女はそうやって誇りをもって、一軒一軒を訪ねて歩いたのです。深夜遅くまで電話をかけ続けた軍人の伴侶からは、国を愛する思いの深さを知るでしょう。国のために戦う兵士が決して、帰国してから仕事や住居で苦労しなくて済むように、その人は電話をかけ続けたのです。

だからこそ、私たちはこうしている。政治にはそういう可能性がある。だから選挙は大事なんです。つまらなくなんかない。大きい。大事なんです。人口3億人の国の民主主義というのは、うるさくてごちゃごちゃしていて複雑なものになりがちです。みんな自分の意見を持っているし、誰もが信じる何かを深いところに抱いている。そして大変な時代の最中に、国として大きな決断をする時、感情がかき立てられ、対立がかき立てられるのは当然のことです。この夜が明けても、それは変わらない。変わるべきじゃない。私たちが議論するのは、私たちの自由の印です。自分たちが何かを主張しているまさにその時、遠い国々の人たちは、大事な問題について言い争うチャンスのために戦い、命を賭けている。私たちが今日そうしたように、投票する権利のために命を賭けている。それは決して忘れられない。

私たちの間には色々な違いや対立がある。けれどもほとんどの人は、アメリカの未来はこうなって欲しいという一定の思いを共有しています。

子供たちは、最高の学校と最高の教師がいる国で育って欲しい。技術や発明やイノベーションにおいて、世界のリーダーとしての役割を果たす国であってほしい。それがもたらす良い仕事や新しい事業の恩恵を受けられる、そういう国であって欲しい。

子供たちには、借金の重みに苦しんでいないアメリカで生きて欲しい。不平等のせいで衰退したり、温暖化の進む惑星の破壊にさらされたりしない、そういうアメリカで暮らして欲しい。安全な国、世界中で尊敬され憧れられる国を子供たちに残したい。世界最強で最高の軍隊に守られる国を。と同時に、今の戦争の時代を自信をもって乗り越えて、全人類の自由と尊厳が保証される平和を築く側に立つ、そういう国を、子供たちに残したい。

私たちは寛大なアメリカ、思いやり深いアメリカ、寛容なアメリカを信じています。この国の学校で学びこの国の旗に忠誠を誓う移民の娘に対して､彼女の夢に対して寛大で思いやり深く寛容なアメリカを。シカゴのサウスサイドに住みながらもより広い世界を夢見る少年の夢に対しても。医者や科学者やエンジニアや起業家や外交官や、あるいは大統領にもなりたいと夢見る、ノースカロライナの家具大工の子供に対しても。

それが、それが、私たちが望む未来です。それが、私たちが共有するビジョンです。それが、私たちの目指すべきところです。前へ（forward)。私たちはそういう未来を目指さなくてはならないのです。

これに比べたらこのトピの論争など…

頭大丈夫ですか……
