1、克林顿提名奥巴马演讲全文克林顿提名奥巴马演讲全文Were here to nominate a President, and Ive got one in mind.I want to nominate a man whose own life has known its fair share of adversity and uncertainty. A man who ran for President to change the course of an already weak economy and then just six weeks before the election, s
2、aw it suffer the biggest collapse since the Great Depression. A man who stopped the slide into depression and put us on the long road to recovery, knowing all the while that no matter how many jobs were created and saved, there were still millions more waiting, trying to feed their children and keep
3、 their hopes alive.I want to nominate a man cool on the outside but burning for America on the inside. A man who believes we can build a new American Dream economy driven by innovation and creativity, education and cooperation. A man who had the good sense to marry Michelle Obama.I want Barack Obama
4、 to be the next President of the United States and I proudly nominate him as the standard bearer of the Democratic Party.In Tampa, we heard a lot of talk about how the President and the Democrats dont believe in free enterprise and individual initiative, how we want everyone to be dependent on the g
5、overnment, how bad we are for the economy.The Republican narrative is that all of us who amount to anything are completely self-made. One of our greatest Democratic Chairmen, Bob Strauss, used to say that every politician wants you to believe he was born in a log cabin he built himself, but it aint
6、so.We Democrats think the country works better with a strong middle class, real opportunities for poor people to work their way into it and a relentless focus on the future, with business and government working together to promote growth and broadly shared prosperity. We think “were all in this toge
7、ther“ is a better philosophy than “youre on your own.“Whos right? Well since 1961, the Republicans have held the White House 28 years, the Democrats 24. In those 52 years, our economy produced 66 million private sector jobs. Whats the jobs score? Republicans 24 million, Democrats 42 million!It turns
8、 out that advancing equal opportunity and economic empowerment is both morally right and good economics, because discrimination, poverty and ignorance restrict growth, while investments in education, infrastructure and scientific and technological research increase it, creating more good jobs and ne
9、w wealth for all of us.Though I often disagree with Republicans, I never learned to hate them the way the far right that now controls their party seems to hate President Obama and the Democrats. After all, President Eisenhower sent federal troops to my home state to integrate Little Rock Central Hig
10、h and built the interstate highway system. And as governor, I worked with President Reagan on welfare reform and with President George H.W. Bush on national education goals.I am grateful to President George W. Bush for PEPFAR, which is saving the lives of millions of people in poor countries and to
11、both Presidents Bush for the work weve done together after the South Asia tsunami, Hurricane Katrina and the Haitian earthquake.Through my foundation, in America and around the world, I work with Democrats, Republicans and Independents who are focused on solving problems and seizing opportunities, n
12、ot fighting each other.When times are tough, constant conflict may be good politics but in the real world, cooperation works better. After all, nobodys right all the time, and a broken clock is right twice a day. All of us are destined to live our lives between those two extremes. Unfortunately, the
13、 faction that now dominates the Republican Party doesnt see it that way. They think government is the enemy, and compromise is weakness.One of the main reasons America should re-elect President Obama is that he is still committed to cooperation. He appointed Republican Secretaries of Defense, the Ar
14、my and Transportation. He appointed a Vice President who ran against him in 2008, and trusted him to oversee the successful end of the war in Iraq and the implementation of the recovery act. And Joe Biden did a great job with both. He appointed Cabinet members who supported Hillary in the primaries.
15、 Heck, he even appointed Hillary! Im so proud of her and grateful to our entire national security team for all theyve done to make us safer and stronger and to build a world with more partners and fewer enemies. Im also grateful to the young men and women who serve our country in the military and to
16、 Michelle Obama and Jill Biden for supporting military families when their loved ones are overseas and for helping our veterans, when they come home bearing the wounds of war, or needing help with education, housing, and jobs.President Obamas record on national security is a tribute to his strength, and judgment, and to his preference for inclusion and partnership over partisanship.He also tried to work with Congressional Republicans on Health Care, debt reduction, and jobs, but t
