President based on the delivery of the Historic speech of Barrack Obama. Here is the

speech given below:

FULL TEXT of The Barrack Obama’s historic Victory speech

Group1 leader would start:

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

LODESTAR INSTITUTE


158

very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that

their voice could be that difference.

Its the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black,

white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled -

Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red

States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America.

Its the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and

fearful, and doubtful of 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.

Its 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.

Group 2 leader continue:

I just received a very gracious call from Senator McCain. He fought long and hard in this

campaign, and he fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. He has endured

sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for

the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him and Governor

Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this

nations 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

that train home to Delaware, the Vice President-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.

LODESTAR INSTITUTE


159

I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for

the last sixteen years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nations next First

Lady, Michelle Obama. Sasha and Malia, I love you both so much, and you have earned

the new puppy thats coming with us to the White House. And while shes no longer with

us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I

miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure.

To my campaign manager David Plouffe, my chief strategist David Axelrod, and the best

campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics - you made this happen, and I am

forever grateful for what youve sacrificed to get it done.

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

Group 3 leader to continue:

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

five dollars and ten dollars and twenty dollars to this cause. It grew strength from the

young people who rejected the myth of their generations apathy; who left their homes and

their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; from the not-so-young people

who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers;

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.

LODESTAR INSTITUTE


160

I know you didnt do this just to win an election and I know you didnt 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 their children fall asleep and wonder how theyll make the

mortgage, or pay their doctors bills, or save enough for college. There is new energy to

harness and new jobs to be created; new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances

to repair.

Group 4 leader to continue:

The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or

even 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 wont agree with every

decision or policy I make as President, and we know that government cant 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 join in the work of

remaking this nation the only way its been done in America for two hundred and twenty-

one years - block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.

What began twenty-one months ago in the depths of winter must not 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 cannot

happen without you.

LODESTAR INSTITUTE


161

So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and 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, its 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 us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and

immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. Let us 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, individual liberty, and national unity. Those

are values 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, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your President too.

Group 5 Leader to continue:

And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces

to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our 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 this world down - we will defeat you. To those who seek peace

and security - we support you. And to all those who have wondered if Americas beacon

still burns as bright - tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation

comes not from our 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.

LODESTAR INSTITUTE


162

For that is the true genius of America - that America can change. Our union can be

perfected. And what we have 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

thats on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. Shes 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 couldnt vote for two reasons - because she was a

woman and because of the color of her skin.

And tonight, I think about all that shes seen throughout her century in America - the

heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we cant,

and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.

At a time when womens 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 and 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.

LODESTAR INSTITUTE


163

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.

Group 6 leader to conclude:

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 cant, 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.

Activity 5 : Group work
