National Socialism: The Striking Similarities Between Obama’s USA And Hitler’s Germany
You Won’t Believe How Many Things Obama Copied Directly From Hitler

Folks – you can do whatever you want this information. I am not suggesting Obama is the anti-Christ, although I would not doubt it for one second. I am also not pushing any crazy conspiracies. This is purely factual information for you to make conclusions on your own. Personally, I could have written just about all of it off as coincidence, until I saw a replica of Hitler’s Pergamon Altar on Obama’s 2008 stage. At that point I was convinced there was WAY too much admiration on Obama’s part… and then I compared inauguration speeches… ugh… just when you thought you couldn’t think less of Obama… it becomes quite easy…
All I ask is that you pay attention to the facts presented below. Pay attention to the monuments to Satan that Hitler used, and then Obama made replicas of. Obama’s versions were much smaller, but he actually had them on stage with him in 2008 when he was first elected. I’d heard all this years ago… and forgotten where to go for much of it. Not long ago, a friend sent me a picture that reminded me I had all this information. Even when Obama gave his famous 2008 Berlin speech, it was on the alter Hitler used to speak from. NOBODY uses that place anymore for that exact reason!
Further down in this post is what amounts to almost a line by line comparison of the inauguration speeches of both Hitler and Obama. Again, I offer no conspiracy theory. You read them yourself and come to your own conclusion. One thing cannot be disputed… those speeches are historical fact. Nothing I say or do will make it any more or less “conspiratorial.”
In the post below, I merely present the information to you, and you can determine for yourself if the monuments like exact replicas of the monuments Hitler had to Satan. You can read both speeches and determine if it looks like Obama plagiarized Hitler’s.
Years ago I also heard a podcast from someone with alleged first hand knowledge of how much time Obama spent praying at a miniature version of the alter to Satan. A friend sent this picture… It’s a picture of Obama in awe – just as I heard he was, in awe of the Third Reich. The person I heard speak said Obama spent an obscene amount of time with various Third Reich artifacts and relics during his time in Germany.
Here he is pictured:
OBAMA BUILDS COPY OF HITLER’S THRONE OF SATAN
(PERGAMON ALTER) AT HIS INAUGURATION
DON’T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT. CHECK FOR YOURSELF!
Obama’s stage at the 2008 Democratic convention was designed in the style of the Pergamon Altar, a Greek Temple, which is mentioned in the book of Revelation as the “Seat of Satan” or the “Throne of Satan,” depending on the translation. The biblical reference is not just to the altar, but to Pergamos as a regional center of the all powerful Roman state as well as a center of occult/pagan worship and persecution of the early Christians.
The state cult was religion, in which the roman emperor was worshiped at Pergamos as a god. The black nationalist doctrine of Obama’s Trinity church in Chicago also teaches that the black man is the manifestation of God on earth and one can self-exalt himself to god status. That man can become a higher being or God and the self-worship of man is a tenet of satanism/Luciferianism. Click the images below for more info.
A temple is a place of worship. So, it seems that this bizarre stage design is alluding to the worship of Obama and the dedication of his campaign to Luciferian principles, much like Saul Alinsky dedicated his book, “Rules for Radicals” to Lucifer.
Many have speculated that Obama is a pathological Narcissist, also popularly called an “egomaniac” or “megalomaniac.” Extreme Narcissists, often believe they are a divine being, a prophet, mouthpiece of God or actually God, himself. Extreme Narcissists are drawn to cult leadership, because it suites the mentality of their psychological disorder. See this clip for more info about Narcissism.
The following video is a short overview of Narcissism and why some say Obama is an extreme Narcissist or pathological Narcissist, also called an egomaniac or a megalomaniac. Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is is the psychological disorder of cult leaders and megalomaniac political leaders, such as Charles Manson, Jim Jones, Hitler, Stalin and Mao.
The Black Liberation doctrine of Obama’s church of 20 years under Jeremiah Wright is a cult religious doctrine, which holds that the black race is God and that a Messiah will arise from the black race to destroy America. Obama declared in his Nobel Prize lecture that we have a spark of divinity within us. That man has a spark of divinity that he can develop into god-hood is a basic concept of occult religions.
At the ten-year 9/11 memorial, Obama reads a carefully-selected Psalm that allows him to hint in public that he is God. Farrakhan declares in 2008 that Obama is the “Messiah.” Black Liberation Theology was inspired by Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam. Both cult doctrines teach that the black man is the manifestation of God on Earth.
Obama’s Psychopathic Narcissism (Megalomania)
Obama may do these things in part as a form of provocation. In this case, though, it also provides an indication of occult religious belief. It should not be necessary to point out that it is very dangerous to have a president, who is unprincipled enough to use such tactics and unstable enough to exhibit obvious signs of such bizarre religious belief.
Obama appears to consider such national and international events, in general, as an opportunity for provocation and ritual. There have been several other such unusual occurrences, such as his saying once that he is God during a creepy episode at the 2011 9/11 memorial, the photo of the Soviet warships during the 2012 DNC event honoring US veterans, his first foreign speech in Cairo, which is of special significance to Black Nationalists, etc.
Occultists and agitators often try to provoke the opposition into a hysteria. Obama hopes we will overreact and can be marginalized and made an object of ridicule. In that way he can animate his cult-like following.
Pergamon Altar – ‘Satan’s Throne’ in the Book of Revelation
Below is the quotation from the Bible.
Revelation 2:12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
Revelation 2:13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, whereSatan dwelleth.
The significance of this temple for a presidential candidate is quite disturbing. Antipas, an early Christian martyr, was roasted alive inside a hollow bronze bull on the altar, because he refused to renounce his Christian faith and worship Augustus Caesar, the Roman dictator, and the other idols. The bull was designed so that the screams of the victim as he was burned to death would make the bull appear to come to life during the sacrifice.
The Black Liberation Theology of Wright’s pseudo-Christian sect in Chicago is also a would-be state religion, holding that the black race is divine and that the black messiah will arise from the black race with a divine mission to destroy America, as we know it, and create a black-ruled utopia, a millennial kingdom, which, in concept is similar to the 1000-year Reich. Reich means “kingdom” in German and millennial, of course, means “1000-year”.
Hitler’s architect, Albert Speer, also modeled the Tribune at the Zeppelin field in Nuremberg, Germany after the Pergamon Altar. The Zeppelin field was the site of the Nazi Party’s annual national rally (Reichstag) and where Hitler was worshiped by the faithful like a god. (See the documentary film “The Architecture of Doom” by Peter Cohen, in which is it mentioned that Hitler’s Tribune design is based on that of the Pergamon Altar.)
Pagan religion is generally about self-worship of man and tribal leaders. The Gnostic occult is a combination of paganism, Neo-Platonic Greek philosophy and the apocalyptic end times theology of the Zoroastrians. Worship of man and his works (the state) is also a central concept of the occult and Satanism/Luciferianism. Satanists frequently admire Hitler for his spiritual power and satanic will, whether they agree with his racism and methods, or not.
Reichsparteitag – Hitler speaks from Satan’s Throne
Next is Obama’s stage as the democratic convention in 2008 in Denver. The resemblance to a smaller version of Hitler’s Tribune in Nuremberg is obvious and the design is even more like that of the Pergamon altar than is Hitler’s Tribune in Nuremberg. There have been many references to Obama being a messiah or god by Obama’s supporters and in the media. The Founder (~1920) of the black nationalist mass movement, Marcus Garvey, recommended that black groups emulate white supremacist groups, because he thought supremacist ideology and religion was the secret of the success of the white race. Garvey, known as the prophet of black nationalism, stated that some day the black race would produce their own Hitler.

The Faithful worship at Obama’s own Throne of Satan
These Americans also do not realize that they are hailing Obama in this sick spectacle, while he is perched upon a stage modeled after the biblical Satan’s Throne and Hitler’s Tribune. Black Liberation Theology holds that the black race is divine and will produce a messiah, or messiahs (plural) who will lead the destruction of America and white society. The racial concept is similar (in reverse) to the racial concepts of Nazism and also to the racist, apocalyptic identity version of Christianity that the Nazis forced on the German churches. History repeats itself, the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce, at least we must hope that it is only a farce. The Nazi movement was an exception among occult messianic movements in the impact that it had.
Obama speaks at the Nazi-revered Victory Column in Berlin
Black Liberation Theology can be considered therefore a form of Luciferianism, in so far as it teaches the exaltation and worship of the (black) man, while the white race is scapegoated and demonized. This is the mirror opposite of Nazism, which exalts the white race and demonized Jews and people of color. Self-worship is a form of Luciferianism, whether one worships the red demon as a being or not.
So, the nomination stage can be considered to be an altar to Satan, not just because it is designed to look like the Pergamon Altar, but because Obama’s religion under Jeremiah Wright, Jr. is a form of satanism, and there have been many references to him being a god/messiah.
This design is of a very famous temple, but it is not the common design of a Greek temple. It is difficult to imagine that this design just happens to be coincidental and such bizarre occurrences happen too often to always be chance. It is more likely an intentional provocation and a symbol of Obama’s subversive inverted values relative to the rest of society.
About one month earlier, Obama gave a speech in Berlin, at the Siegessäule or “Victory Column”, just a short walk away from both the Pergamon Museum, where ‘Satan’s Altar’ is on display and also next to the bunker where Hitler committed suicide in April 30, 1945, Walpurgis night. The Victory Column is itself still seen by some Berliners as a Nazi symbol. It was a very fitting homage. The speech was given before a wildly-cheering, mesmerized crowd, the size and enthusiasm of which had not been seen in Berlin probably since the 1930′s and 40′s for such a political speech.
I realize this graphic isn’t 100% accurate. There have been others with symbols, but since when the hell do U.S. Presidents have their own logos? Yeah, thought so.
In this clip messiah-worship of Hitler and Obama are compared. Self-worship is an occult doctrine and is an aspect of what has historically been called Luciferianism. Hitler actually imposed a doctrine, called Positive Christianity, on the evangelical churches of the Third Reich, which taught that the Aryan race is God and worship of Hitler as the messiah.
The Black Liberation doctrine of Obama’s church of 20 years in Chicago also teaches — much like the reverse of what Hitler’s doctrine taught — that the black race is god and will produce a black messiah. See the link below for more info.
Obama & Hitler Messiah Worship Compared
Obama is a disciple of Saul Alinsky, who dedicated his famous book on political organizing to Lucifer. Alinsky’s techniques of organizing were based on the techniques of Al Capone’s mob. Alinksy said that the purpose of his method was foremost to “gain power,” which reflects the Luciferian ethic. Click here to see a review of other Luciferian influences on Obama and historical comparisons to other messianic movements.
Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer. Quoted from Saul Alinsky’s book “Rules for Radicals.”
If Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer, why should we be surprised, if Obama, a disciple of Alinsky, and also a member of a sect with a doctrine based on the principles of satanism, has dedicated his presidency to Lucifer?
ROBESPIERRE AND THE CULT OF THE SUPREME BEING
Another example of worship of leaders comes from the French Revolution. Like Obama and Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Jacobins and dictator of France, Robespierre, constructed a throne, so that he could be worshiped like a god at the fests of the Cult of Reason, also called the Cult of the Supreme Being. This was a Luciferian religion, which was made the state religion of revolutionary France. This painting depicts Robespierre seated on his throne. A small artificial mountain was built for the throne and he would mount the throne wearing a toga during the festivities of the cult.
Robespierre led the effort to de-Christianize France and the slaughter of several hundred thousand people. Cathedrals were were turned into stables for horses or were demolished. In the rebellious province of Vendée, Christians were exterminated by the hundred thousands, including men, women and children.
There are many examples from history of would be “great leaders” who wanted to be worshiped as a god. Adolf Hitler and Robespierre are just two examples from recent history. From a historical perspective, it is not unusual to see this type of behavior among megalomaniacs and psychopaths, who would like to become absolute rulers.
WHY OBAMA PROVOKES
Obama is a professional agitator in the Alinsky style. It is standard technique among occultists and Alinsky-style agitators to use such provocation. Obama is flaunting his real occult beliefs hoping to provoke a hysterical reaction among believers in biblical prophesy and conspiracy theorists, so he can paint his opponents as being backwards and ignorant, thereby discrediting them. He is a professional, serial provocateur and that appears to be what is happening here and as with many other provocations that he has done in the past, both during the campaign and as president. So, the point is, people need to be very careful about how they react to this provocation. Think about what he is trying to achieve with this. That is, foremost to discredit and bamboozle his opponents.
It is important to not overreact to such provocation, because that is their goal to have opponents launch themselves into the ozone layer. Another goal is actually to cause the public to fear him and his minions. When people think that he is the Antichrist they develop and spread fear among some of the public, who tend to think this way. This is an object of such agitation and it is really a shame for an American president to be using such perverse techniques.
Ok, so at this point it’s obvious they had a few things in common… and you realize there is something definitely “not right” about the Pergamon Altar, but you need a bit more before you can say you believe without a doubt that there is a connection, right?
Ok, if you aren’t already familiar with the economic conditions that gave way to Hitler’s rise to power, you might want to do some research into what happened to the Weimar Republic. The U.S. economy is going down in flames, largely due to Obama’s awful economic policies, and we’re a spitting image of them before they crashed.
—
THE ECONOMICS OF THE WEIMAR REPUBLIC AND U.S. WHEN HITLER ROSE TO POWER ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL RIGHT NOW!
THEIR CURRENCY COLLAPSED… HYPERINFLATION, AND OURS IS ABOUT TO FOLLOW… LARGELY THANKS TO OBAMA.
Next, comparatively speaking it’s relatively minor, but it’s worth noting that Obama and the rest of his band of liberal clapping seals feel that children belong to the community, as you will hear in the video below. Any doubts as to whether this woman represents mainstream liberal ideology or not, just walk into a public school for 10 minutes where teachers are ramrodding a liberal political ideology down the kids throats from the first day of Kindergarten, regardless of what you are teaching them at home.
WHERE DID WE HEAR THE CHILDREN BELONG TO THE COMMUNITY?
GUESS WHO’S IDEA THAT WAS FIRST!
“CHILDREN BELONG TO THE COMMUNITY!”
HITLER SAID IT FIRST!
THE NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT.
GUESS WHO ELSE HAD ONE?
THINGS OBAMA DOESN’T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT THE NDAA
Finally, before we compare their inauguration speeches, who can possibly forget about FEMA Camps? Long before he died, even Justice Scalia said FEMA Concentration Camps are very real, and we would probably see them again. Don’t take his word or mine though… listen to the INSANITY from Obama’s own mouth…
THEN THERE’S THE WHOLE ISSUE OF CONCENTRATION CAMPS
FOR AMERICANS NO LESS!
Obama HIMSELF Explains FEMA Camps
SOUND MORE LIKE AMERICA OR THE NAZIS?
COMPARING ACCEPTANCE SPEECHES:
HITLER 1933 & OBAMA 2008
In the previous piece I discuss Obama’s Copy of Hitler’s Throne of Satan (Pergamon Altar) on Stage at the Obama Inauguration. Why would he do such a thing? As indicated, he didn’t make structures that “resembled” the Throne of Satan that Hitler used, he made an exact miniature replica. I am not playing conspiracy theorist. You can verify that and make you own conclusions.
Folks – you can make anything you want of this. I am not suggesting Obama is the anti-Christ, although I would not doubt it. All I ask is that you pay attention to the speeches. Do you honestly believe, given the replicated stage of the Third Reich, the Thrown of Satan, the photo of Obama in awe, and that the speeches given by Obama and Hitler resembled one another by pure coincidence? I leave that to you.
As I mentioned in the other post, years ago I also heard a podcast from someone with alleged first hand knowledge of how much time Obama spent praying at a miniature version of the alter to Satan. A friend sent this picture this picture last night – it’s a picture of Obama in awe – just as I heard he was, at the Third Reich. The person I heard speak said Obama spent an obscene amount of time with Third Reich relics and artifacts while in Germany. Here he is pictured:
In 1933 when Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, he gave an acceptance speech in which he described the then-current condition of Germany as having “seen the unity of the nation vanishing away, dissolving in a confusion of political and personal opinions, economic interests, and ideological differences.” In speeches that mesmerized the German people he promised change, unity and peace if the people would be “obedient” and follow his plans for National Socialism described in his book, Mein Kampf.
Last night Barack Obama made pretty much the same promise. He described this nation as facing the “greatest challenges of our lifetime” and promised change, unity and peace, if only we now will rise and follow him as “one people” into his version of national socialism.
Like Adolf Hitler, before he had any accomplishment to report, Obama wrote his autobiography “Dreams of My Father.” And, like Hitler, Obama is viewed emotionally by most of his nation as one who can “save” them from problems or discomforts they experienced during a previous government. Now that he has been elected, Obama tells us, “at this defining moment, change has come to America.”
The remaking of Germany into Hitler’s dream of National Socialism led to World War II and more than 50 million deaths worldwide. I pointed out in March that Obama’s message (http://www.bannerofliberty.com/BOL-2008MQC/3-19-2008.1.html) in effect was that MOST Americans are “victims” who can only be saved by Obama as president and a socialist government — apparently entirely financed by the 5% of the population he calls “rich.”
We had two choices: to vote for: John McCain, who has a long and public record of his love for this nation, his courage and willingness to serve and sacrifice for America and Barack Obama who is an accomplished orator who didn’t have the love, courage or willingness to defend his own pastor when, after 20 years of being a member of his church, the man’s sermons were made public. Obama has given only words and a book he wrote about himself for Americans to judge him by. Below are comparisons of Obama’s and Hitler’s speeches upon gaining the leadership of their nations. Although there now are many histories written about Hitler’s leadership of Germany, none of them seem to reflect the upbeat mood of his acceptance speech of February 1, 1933. :
Adolf Hitler’s Speech to the German Nation, Berlin
FEBRUARY 1, 1933
MORE than fourteen years have passed since the unhappy day when the German people, blinded by promises from foes at home and abroad, lost touch with honor and freedom, thereby losing all. Since that day of treachery, the Almighty has withheld his blessing from our people. Dissension and hatred descended upon us. .
The misery of our people is horrible to behold! Millions of the industrial proletariat are unemployed and starving; the whole of the middle class and the small artisans have been impoverished. When this collapse finally reaches the German peasants, we will be faced with an immeasurable disaster. For then not only shall a nation collapse, but a two-thousand-year-old inheritance, some of the loftiest products of human culture and civilization.
President-Elect Barack Obama’s Speech
Tuesday, November 4th, 2008 , Chicago, Illinois
It’s 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. 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.
Adolf Hitler’s Speech to the German Nation, Berlin
FEBRUARY 1, 1933
All about us the warning signs of this collapse are apparent. .And as leaders of the nation and the national Government we vow to God, to our conscience, and to our people that we will faithfully and resolutely fulfill the task conferred upon us.
The inheritance which has fallen to us is a terrible one. The task with which we are faced is the hardest which has fallen to German statesmen within the memory of man. But we are all filled with unbounded confidence for we believe in our people and their imperishable virtues. Every class and every individual must help us to found the new Reich.
The National Government will regard it as its first and foremost duty to revive in the nation the spirit of unity and co-operation. It will preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been built. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life….
Turbulent instincts must be replaced by a national discipline as the guiding principle of our national life. All those institutions which are the strongholds of the energy and vitality of our nation will be taken under the special care of the Government.
The National Government intends to solve the problem of the reorganization of trade and commerce with two four-year plans:
President-Elect Barack Obama’s Speech
Tuesday, November 4th, 2008 , Chicago, Illinois
There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how they’ll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor’s 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.
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 won’t agree with every decision or policy I make as President, and we know that 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 join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it’s 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.
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, 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.
Adolf Hitler’s Speech to the German Nation, Berlin
FEBRUARY 1, 1933
The German farmer must be rescued in order that the nation may be supplied with the necessities of life….
A concerted and all-embracing attack must be made on unemployment in order that the German working class may be saved from ruin….
The November parties have ruined the German peasantry in fourteen years. In fourteen years they have created an army of millions of unemployed. The National Government will, with iron determination and unshakable steadfastness of purpose, put through the following plan:
Within four years the German peasant must be rescued from the quagmire into which he has fallen.
Within four years unemployment must be finally overcome. At the same time the conditions necessary for a revival in trade and commerce are provided. The National Government will couple with this tremendous task of reorganizing business life a reorganization of the administrative and fiscal systems of the Reich, of the Federal States, and the Communes.
Only when this has been done can the idea of a continued federal existence of the entire Reich be fully realized….
Compulsory labor-service and the back-to-the-land policy are two of the basic principles of this program.
The securing of the necessities of life will include the performance of social duties to the sick and aged.
In economical administration, the promotion of employment, the preservation of the farmer, as well as in the exploitation of individual initiative, the Government sees the best guarantee for the avoidance of any experiments which would endanger the currency.
As regards its foreign policy the National Government considers its highest mission to be the securing of the right to live and the restoration of freedom to our nation. Its determination to bring to an end the chaotic state will assist in restoring to the community of nations a State of equal value and, above all, a State which must have equal rights. It is impressed with the importance of its duty to use this nation of equal rights as an instrument for the securing and maintenance of that peace which the world requires today more than ever before.

Let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.
May the good will of all others assist in the fulfillment of this our earnest wish for the welfare of Europe and of the whole world. Great as is our love for our Army as the bearer of our arms and the symbol of our great past, we should be happy if the world, by reducing its armaments, would see to it that we need never increase our own.
If, however, Germany is to experience this political and economic revival and conscientiously fulfill her duties toward the other nations, one decisive step is absolutely necessary first: the overcoming of the destroying menace of communism in Germany. We of this Government feel responsible for the restoration of orderly life in the nation and for the final elimination of class madness and class struggle. . Reich’s präsident von Hindenburg has called upon us to bring about the revival of the German nation. Unity is our tool. Therefore we now appeal to the German people to support this reconciliation. The National Government wishes to work and it will work. It did not ruin the German nation for fourteen years, but now it will lead the nation back to health. It is determined to make well in four years the ills of fourteen years. But the National Government cannot make the work of reconstruction dependent upon the approval of those who wrought destruction. The Marxist parties and their lackeys have had fourteen years to show what they can do. The result is a heap of ruins.
Now, people of Germany, give us four years and then pass judgment upon us. In accordance with Field Marshal von Hindenburg’s command we shall begin now. May God Almighty give our work His blessing, strengthen our purpose, and endow us with wisdom and the trust of our people, for we are fighting not for ourselves but for Germany.
President-Elect Barack Obama’s Speech
Tuesday, November 4th, 2008 , Chicago, Illinois
…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.
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 America’s 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.
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. . 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 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 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
