Yes. We. Can.

"And as we leave this great state with a new wind at our backs, and take this journey across this great country we love with the message we've carried from the plains of Iowa to the hills of New Hampshire; from the Nevada desert to the South Carolina coast; the same message we had when we were up and when we were down - that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we will hope; and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and fear, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of the American people in three simple words:

Yes. We. Can."

"I see black, I see white, I see rich and poor,
I see young and old".

"We are tired of business in Washington, we are ready for change and
we got hope"

"There are real differences in the candidates: some are looking for
radical change in Washington other stand for the status quo"

"Make no mistakes in what were up against. We are up against lobbyist
who do not act in the interest of the people, We are up against
assumptions that I don´t share: The assumption that poor don´t vote,
the assumption that white don´t vote for blacks and blacks vote not
for whites, the assumption that rich don´t care about the poor".

"This election is our chance to give the American people a reason to
believe again"

"Now it is up to us so that the entire nation embraces this vision"

"I saw not a white Carolina, not a black Carolina, I saw Carolina"

"The choice in this election is not about rich versus poor, Democrats
versus Republicans, black versus white, the choice is past versus
future!"

Here is what I know: When people say, we can´t overcome big money and
influence in Washington. I think about the old woman who gave me an
envelope with 3 Dollars and 50 Cent in it. Don´t tell me change isn´t
possible! When this woman knew change is possible! Don´t tell us
change can´t happen

"We have the same message we had when where up and when we were down -
the three letters which sum up the spirit of the American people: Yes,
we can"

Barack Obamas Siegesrede in Iowa

Ein großer Sieg, eine noch größere Rede. Erinnert an die Democratic Convention 2004 und vielleicht sogar ein wenig an Martin Luther King. Meine Stimme hätte Obama - Hillaries Erfahrung hin oder her. Ich glaube, Obama hat das reinere Herz. Am nächsten Dienstag finden die Vorwahlen in New Hampshire statt. Eigentlich eine Hochburg von Hillary Clinton. Sollte Barack Obama entgegen den Umfragen auch dort gewinnen, wäre dies eine Katastrophe für Hillary Clinton. An Obama als Kandidat käme die demoktratische Partei dann wohl schwerlich vorbei.

"Sie haben gesagt, dieser Tag würde nie kommen!"

"Sie haben gesagt, unsere Ziele seien zu hoch gesteckt. Doch in dieser Januarnacht, in diesem entscheidenden Moment in der Geschichte, habt Ihr getan, was die Zyniker uns nicht zugetraut haben."

"Die Zeit des Wandels ist da. Die Zeit ist da, über Kleinlichkeiten und Bitternis hinauszublicken."
