Hello, Chicago.
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 first time in their lives, because they believed that this time
must be different, that their voices could be that difference.
It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and
Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight,
disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we
have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and
blue states.
We are, and always will be, the United States of America.It's the answer that led
those who've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and
doubtful about 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.t's been a long time coming,
but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining
moment change has come to America.
A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from
Sen. McCain.
Sen. McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he's fought even longer
and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America
that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service
rendered by this brave and selfless leader.
I congratulate him; I congratulate Gov. Palin for all that they've achieved. And I
look forward to working with them to renew this nation's 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 the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the
United States, Joe Biden.
And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my
best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the
nation's next first lady Michelle Obama.
Sasha and Malia I love you both more than you can imagine. And you have
earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the new White House.
And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother' s watching, along
with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight. I know that my debt
to them is beyond measure.
To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you
so much for all the support that you've given me. I am grateful to them.
And to my campaign manager, David Plouffe, the unsung hero of this campaign,
who built the best -- the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the
United States of America.
To my chief strategist David Axelrod who's been a partner with me every step of
the way.
To the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics you made
this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.
But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to
you. It belongs to you.
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 $5 and $10 and $20 to
the cause.
It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their
generation's apathy who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered
little pay and less sleep.
It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and
scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and 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 the Earth.
This is your victory.
And I know you didn't do this just to win an election. And I know you didn't 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 the children fall asleep
and wonder how they'll make the mortgage or pay their doctors' bills or save
enough for their child's college education.
There's new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build,
and threats to meet, alliances to repair.
The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in
one year or even in 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 won't agree with
every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the government can't
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 to join in the
work of remaking this nation, the only way it's been done in America for 221
years -- block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.
What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot 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 can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of
sacrifice.
So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of 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, it's 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's resist the
temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity
that has poisoned our politics for so long.
Let's 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 and individual liberty and national unity.
Those are values that 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 tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your
president, too.
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 the
world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of
American leadership is at hand.
To those -- to those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you. To those
who seek peace and security: We support you. And to all those who have
wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright: Tonight we proved once more
that the true strength of our nation comes not from 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.
That's the true genius of America: that America can change. Our union can be
perfected. What we've 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 that's on my mind tonight's about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta.
She's 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 couldn't vote for two
reasons -- because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.
And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America --
the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were
told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes
we can.
At a time when women's 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, 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.
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.
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 doubts and those
who tell us that we can't, 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.

The Secret
Situs web resmi
profil IMDb
The Secret atau rahasia adalah sebuah film[1] yang diproduksi oleh Prime Time
Production, yang terdiri dari seri-seri wawancara dan dramatisasi mengenai
"Hukum Tarik-menarik". Film ini didistribusikan lewat DVD dan online (melalui
internet). Lalu, buku yang berjudul dan bertopik sama seperti fillnya juga
diterbitkan, dimana telah menarik banyak perhatian dari tokoh-tokoh media
seperti oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres, Larry King serta kritikan pers.
Sinopsis
The Secret yang merupakan film penguasaan diri (self-help), memakai format
dokumenter untuk menjelaskan "Hukum Tarik-menarik". Hukum ini adalah
"rahasia" sesungguhnya, seperti yang tertulis di sampulnya, "has traveled
through centuries to reach you" ("telah mengarungi waktu berabad-abad untuk
mencapai anda"). Film ini mendokumentasikan pengalaman-pengalaman nyata
dan wawancara dengan tim dari spesialis transformasi diri, pembawa pesan
spiritual, ahli feng sui, serta pencipta uang (moneymaking experts).[Seperti yang
digambarkan dalam film, prinsip "Hukum Tarik-menarik" membuat perasaan dan
pikiran seseorang menjadi nyata dalam kehidupan mereka; semesta bekerja di
antara manusia dalam hubungan fisik, emosi, dan pekerjaan sehari-hari. Film ini
juga memiliki anggapan bahwa orang-orang yang punya kekuasaan kuat
umumnya cenderung menyembunyikan prinsip ini dari orang banyak.
Pembuatan
Julie Ann Storr, pendiri Nibbana (Sydney)dalam penjelasan mengenai
pembuatan film ini, melaporkan, "semuanya dimulai dengan perasaan syukur
dan Stephanie Whittaker (dari harian The Gazette) menjelaskannya sebagai
respon dari semesta terhadap keinginan kita .Film ini mendorong penonton untuk
melihat semesta sebagai katalog yang berisi sesuatu yang dapat kita pesan
setiap saat serta menasehati seseorang agar bergaul dengan orang yang
"positif".
Untuk memanifestasikan (membuat sesuatu jadi nyata) maka digunakanlah
visualisasi dan papan visi.
Untuk meresapi The Secret, terdapat tiga buah tahap;"meminta, percaya,
menerima" — sebagai inti dari Hukum Tarik-menarik:
Meminta
Tahu apa yang anda inginkan dan mintalah pada semesta.
Anda harus menjelaskan apa yang anda inginkan dan memvisualisasikan
(mengandaikan) apa yang anda inginkan sebisa mungkin jadi seperti kenyataan.
Percaya
Rasakan dan bersikap seolah-olah objek yang anda inginkan sudah anda
dapatkan.
Fokuskan pikiran dan bahasa anda kepada sesuatu yang ingin anda tarik. Anda
harus merasakan perasaan tentang sesuatu yang benar-benar anda inginkan
sudah anda miliki, bahkan anda dapat "membohongi diri sendiri" agar bisa
mempercayainya - lakukan itu.
Menerima
Terbukalah untuk menerimanya.
Berikan perhatian anda pada pesan intuisi anda, cocokkan, pertanda dari
semesta untuk menolong anda ke jalan yang tepat. Ketika anda sejalan dengan
semesta dan membuka diri anda untuk menerima, sesuatu yang anda inginkan
akan terwujud.
Pada awal film (bab pertama) Ester Hicks menjelaskan tentang 3 tahap:"minta,
jawaban, menerima". Ia menjelaskan langkah "jawaban" sebagai "jawaban dari
semesta terhadap permintaan anda ... apa yang semesta lakukan untuk anda".
