Speech - Barack Obama - January 8, 2008 in Nashua, New Hampshire

Transript - That's why tonight belongs to you. It belongs to the organizers, and the volunteers, and the staff who believed in this journey and rallied so many others to join the cause.

We know the battle ahead will be long. But always remember that, no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics. And they will only grow louder and more dissonant in the weeks and months to come.

We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.

(APPLAUSE)

For when we have faced down impossible odds, when we've been told we're not ready or that we shouldn't try or that we can't, generations of Americans have responded with a simple creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can. Yes, we can. Yes, we can.

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation: Yes, we can.

It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail towards freedom through the darkest of nights: Yes, we can.

It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness: Yes, we can.

It was the call of workers who organized, women who reached for the ballot, a president who chose the moon as our new frontier, and a king who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the promised land: Yes, we can, to justice and equality.

Yes, we can, to opportunity and prosperity. Yes, we can heal this nation. Yes, we can repair this world. Yes, we can.

And so, tomorrow, as we take the campaign south and west, as we learn that the struggles of the textile workers in Spartanburg are not so different than the plight of the dishwasher in Las Vegas, that the hopes of the little girl who goes to the crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of L.A., we will remember that there is something happening in America, that we are not as divided as our politics suggest, that we are one people, we are one nation.

And, together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story, with three words that will ring from coast to coast, from sea to shining sea: Yes, we can.

Thank you, New Hampshire. Thank you. Thank you.

  • @1:00 "False Hope" ... yeepie!

  • Obama 2012..make sure you put the vote in the ballot right !

  • God Bless you man....

  • This is Obama's "Thank you Satan" speech. Neo-Liberals make me sick. 

  • The patriotic music makes it scarier.

  • Yeah true...we should end this because I can't have any more ignorant posts coming from you on my video.

  • It's nice to be chatting with an adult (writer switch no doubt) but truly, let's end it here. You have your belief or lack thereof and I am not here to counsel you. Your words are hollow. Your suggestion is that morals exist in factions and philosophy... based on.. "feeling?" Okay; then the only question left is which feeling do you prefer? Are you a headhunter or a pacifist? This isn't the forum for this level of debate. You're rationalizing moral structure with no foundation. Be well

  • Everyone has a basic set of morals, whether they are atheists, pagans, Muslims, or Chritstians. Morals even exist in babies who can tell right for wrong. If you think that morals are an invention of religion you are wrong. Any type of philosophy, religion, political belief, and etc are based on morals.
