奥巴马?芝加哥?胜选?发言 PRESIDENT-ELECT BARACK OBAMA: 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. ?如果还有人对美国凡事都有可能这话还存在疑问的话，如果还有人怀疑我们国家奠基者的梦想在我们所处的时代是否依然鲜活，如果有人还在质疑我们的民主制度的力量的话，今晚这些问题都有了答案。 ?
