奥巴马、克林顿发声支持同性恋者

这2个视频都围绕对同性恋者的辱骂行为。
BARACK OBAMA: "Like all of you, I was shocked and saddened by the deaths of several young people who were bullied and taunted for being gay, and who ultimately took their own lives. As a parent of two daughters, it breaks my heart. It's something that just shouldn't happen in this country. We've got to dispel the myth that bullying is just a normal rite of passage -- that it's some inevitable part of growing up. It's not."奥巴马：“和各位一样，对于几名因是同性恋者而遭受欺凌和嘲笑，并最后结束自己生命的年轻人的死去，我感到震惊和悲伤。
作为两个女儿的父亲，这让我心碎。
这是在我们国家里不应该发生的事。
我们必须消除认为欺凌是一种正常的成人仪式，是成长过程中不可避免的一部分这种荒谬观点。

这场美国历史上颇有悬念的战争，由一个女人，一个老人，一个黑人组成的战场在这一天改变了，不得不说，看过视频，我依然十分敬佩这位伟大的女性，她可能无法成就美国第一任女总统的传奇，也没能实现夫妻总统的奇迹，但是，她依然微笑，依然优雅，依然昂首挺胸，依然气宇轩昂，依然充满着力量与魅力！我只想说——这就是永远的希拉里克林顿！The United States Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton at the National Building Museum in Washington delivered a speech to pay tribute to the supporters. On that day, Clinton formally announced to stop the election in favor of rival Barack Obama become president. The history of the United States on some suspense of war, by a woman, an old man, a black composition of the battlefield has changed on this day, have to say, read the video, I am still very much admire this great woman, she may achievements of the United States can not be the first female president of the legend, but also failed to achieve the president's wife wonder, but she is still smiling, still elegant, still heads held high, still气宇轩昂still full of strength and charm!Thank you so much. Thank you all.Well, this isn’t exactly the party I’d planned, but I sure like the company.I want to start today by saying how grateful I am to all of you – to everyone who poured your hearts and your hopes into this campaign, who drove for miles and lined the streets waving homemade signs, who scrimped and saved to raise money, who knocked on doors and made calls, who talked and sometimes argued with your friends and neighbors, who emailed and contributed online, who invested so much in our common enterprise, to the moms and dads who came to our events, who lifted their little girls and little boys on their shoulders and whispered in their ears, “See, you can be anything you want to be.”To the young people like 13 year-old Ann Riddle from M ayfield, Ohio who had been saving for two years to go to Disney World, and decided to use her savings instead to travel to Pennsylvania with her Mom and volunteer there as well. To the veterans and the childhood friends, to New Y orkers and Arkansans who traveled across the country and telling anyone who would listen why you supported me.To all those women in their 80s and their 90s born before women could vote who cast their votes for our campaign. I’ve told y ou before about Florence Steen of South Dakota, who was 88 years old, and insisted that her daughter bring an absentee ballot to her hospice bedside. Her daughter and a friend put an American flag behind her bed and helped her fill out the ballot. She passed away soon after, and under state law, her b allot didn’t count. But her daughter later told a reporter, “My dad’s an ornery old cowboy, and he didn’t like it when he heard mom’s vote wouldn’t be counted. I don’t think he had voted in 20 years. But he voted in place of my mom.”To all those who voted for me, and to whom I pledged my utmost, my commitment to you and to the progress we seek is unyielding. Y ou have inspired and touched me with the stories of the joys and sorrows that make up the fabric of our lives and you have humbled me with your commitment to our country.18 million of you from all walks of life – women and men, young and old, Latino and Asian, African-American and Caucasian, rich, poor and middle class, gay and straight – you have stood strong with me. And I will continue to stand strong with you, every time, every place, and every way that I can. The dreams we share are worth fighting for.Remember - we fought for the single mom with a young daughter, juggling work and school, who told me, “I’m doing it all to better myself for her.” We fought for the woman who grabbed my hand, and asked me, “What are you going to do to make sure I have health care?” and began to cry because even though she works three jobs, she can’t afford insurance. We fought for the young man in the Marine Corps t-shirt who waited months for medical care and said, “Take care of my buddies over there and then, will you please help take care of me?” We fought for all those who’ve lost jobs and health care, who can’t afford gas or groceries or college, who have felt invisible to their president these last seven years.I entered this race because I have an old-fashioned conviction: that public service is about helping people solve their problems and live their dreams. I’ve had every opportunity and blessing in my own life – and I want the same for all Americans. Until that day comes, you will always find me on the front lines of democracy – fighting for the future.The way to continue our fight now – to accomplish the goals for which we stand – is to take our energy, our passion, our strength anddo all we can to help elect Barack Obama the next President of the United States.today, as I suspend my campaign, I congratulate him on the victory he has won and the extraordinary race he has run. I endorse him, and throw my full support behind him. And I ask all of you to join me in working as hard for Barack Obama as you have for me.I have served in the Senate with him for four years. I have been in this campaign with him for 16 months. I have stood on the stage and gone toe-to-toe with him in 22 debates. I have had a front row seat to his candidacy, and I have seen his strength and determination, his grace and his grit.In his own life, Barack Obama has lived the American Dream. As a community organizer, in the state s enate, as a United States Senator - he has dedicated himself to ensuring the dream is realized. And in this campaign, he has inspired so many to become involved in the democratic process and invested in our common future.Now when I started this race, I intended to win back the White House, and make sure we have a president who puts our country back on the path to peace, prosperity, and progress. And that's exactly what we're going to do by ensuring that Barack Obama walks through the doors of the Oval Office on January 20, 2009.I understand that we all know this has been a tough fight. The Democratic Party is a family, and it’s now time to restore the ties that bind us together and to come together around the ideals we share, the values we cherish, and the country we love.We may have started on separate journeys – but today, our paths have merged. And we are all heading toward the same destination, united and more ready than ever to win in November and to turn our country around because so much is at st ake.We all want an economy that sustains the American Dream, the opportunity to work hard and have that work rewarded, to save for college, a home and retirement, to afford that gas and those groceries and still have a little left over at the end of the month. An economy that lifts all of our people and ensures that our prosperity is broadly distributed and shared.We all want a health care system that is universal, high quality, and affordable so that parents no longer have to choose bet ween care for th emselves or their children or be stuck in dead end jobs simply to keep their insurance. This isn’t just an issue for me – it is a passion and a cause – and it is a fight I will continue until every single American is insured – no exceptions, no excuses.We all want an America defined by deep and meaningful equality –from civil rights to labor rights, from women’s rights to gay rights, from ending discrimination to promoting unionization to providing help for the most important job there is: caring for our families.We all want to restore America’s standing in the world, to end the war in Iraq and once again lead by the power of our values, and to join with our allies to confront our shared challenges from poverty and genocide to terrorism and global warming.Y ou know, I’ve been involved in politics and public life in one way or another for four decades. During those forty years, ou r country has voted ten times for President. Democrats won only three of those times. And the man who won two of those elections is with us today.We made tremendous progress during the 90s under a Democratic President, with a flourishing economy, and our leadership for peace and security respected around the world. Just think how much more progress we could have made over the p ast 40 years if we had a Democratic president. Think about the lost opportunities of these past seven years – on the environment and the economy, on health care and civil rights, on education, foreign policy and the Supreme Court. Imagine how far we could’ve come, how much we could’ve achieved if we had just had a Democrat in the White House.We cannot let this moment slip away. We have come too far and accomplished too much.Now the journey ahead will not be easy. Some will say we can’t do it. That it’s too hard. That we’re just not up to the task. But for as long as America has existed, it has been the American way to reject “can’t do” claims, and to choose instead to stretch the b oundaries of the possible through hard work, determination, and a pioneering spirit.It is this belief, this optimism, that Senator Obama and I share, and that has inspired so many millions of our supporters to make their voices heard.So today, I am standing with Senator Obama to say: Y es we can.Together we will work. We’ll have to work hard to get universal health care. But on the day we live in an America where no child, no man, and no woman is without health insurance, we will live in a stronger America. That’s why we need to help elect Barack Ob ama our President.We’ll have to work hard to get back to fiscal responsibility and a strong middle class. But on the day we live in an America whosemiddle class is thriving and growing again, where all Americans, no matter where they live or where their ancestors came from, can earn a decent living, we will live in a stronger America and that is why we must elect Barack Obama our President.We’ll have to work hard to foster the innovation that makes us energy independent and lift the threat of global warming from our children’s future. But on the day we live in an America fueled by renewable energy, we will live in a stronger America. That’s why we have to help elect Barack Obama our President.We’ll have to work hard to bring our troops home from Iraq, and get them the support they’ve earned by their service. But on the day we live in an America that’s as loyal to our troops as they have been to us, we will live in a stronger America and that is w hy we must help elect Barack Obama our President.This election is a turning point election and it is critical that we all understand what our choice really is. Will we go forward together or will we stall and slip backwards. Think how much progress we have already made. When we first started, people everywhere asked the same questions:Could a woman really serve as Commander-in-Chief? Well, I think we answered that one.And could an African American really be our President? Senator Obama has answered that one.Together Senator Obama and I achieved milestones essential to our progress as a nation, part of our perpetual duty to form a more perfect union.Now, on a personal note – when I was asked what it means to be a woman running for President, I always gave the same answer: that I was proud to be running as a woman but I was running because I thought I’d be the best President. But I am a woman, and like millions of women, I know there are still barriers and biases out there, often unconscious.I want to build an America that respects and embraces the potential of every last one of us.I ran as a daughter who benefited from opportunities my mother never dreamed of. I ran as a mother who worries about my daughter’s future and a mother who wants to lead all children to brighter tomorrows. To build that future I see, we must make sure that women and men alike understand the struggles of their grandmothers and mothers, and that women enjoy equal opportunities, equal pay, and equal respect. Let us resolve and work toward achieving some very simple propositions: There are no acceptable limits and there are no acceptable prejudices in the twenty-first century.Y ou can be so proud that, from now on, it will be unremarkable for a woman to win primary state victories, unremarkable to have a woman in a close race to be our nominee, unremarkable to think that a woman can be the President of the United States. And that is truly remarkable.To those who are disappointed that we couldn’t go all the way – especially the young people who put so much into this campaign – it would break my heart if, in falling short of my goal, I in any way discouraged any of you from pursuing yours. Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. When you stumble, keep faith. When you’re knocked down, get right back up. And never listen to anyone who says you can’t or shouldn’t go on.As we gather here today in this historic magnificent building, the 50th woman to leave this Earth is orbiting overhead. If we can blast 50 women into space, we will someday launch a woman into the White House.Altho ugh we weren’t able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you, it’s got about 18 million cracks in it. And the light is shining through like never before, filling us all with the hope and the sure knowledge that the path will be a little easier next time. That has always been the history of progress in America.Think of the suffragists who gathered at Seneca Falls in 1848 and those who kept fighting until women could cast their votes. Think of the abolitionists who struggled and died to see the end of slavery. Think of the civil rights heroes and foot-soldiers who marched, protested and risked their lives to bring about the end to segregation and Jim Crow.Because of them, I grew up taking for granted that women could vote. Because of them, my daughter grew up taking for granted that children of all colors could go to school together. Because of them, Barack Obama and I could wage a hard fought campaign for the Democratic nomination. Because of them, and because of you, children today will grow up taking for granted that an African American or a woman can yes, become President of the United States.When that day arrives and a woman takes the oath of office as our President, we will all stand taller, proud of the values of our nation, proud that every little girl can dream and that her dreams can come true in America. And all of you will know that because of your passion and hard work you helped pave the way for that day.So I want to say to my supporters, when you hear people saying – or think to yourself –“if only” or “what if,” I say, “please don’t go there.” Every moment wasted looking back keeps us from moving forward.Life is too short, time is too precious, and the stakes are too high to dwell on what might have been. We have to work together for what still can be. And that is why I will work my heart out to make sure that Senator Obama is our next President and I hope and pray that all of you will join me in that effort.To my supporters and colleagues in Congress, to the governors and mayors, elected officials who stood with me, in good times and in bad, thank you for your strength and leadership. To my friends in our labor unions who stood strong every step of the way – I thank you and pledge my support to you. To my friends, from every stage of my life – your love and ongoing commitments sustain me every single day. To my family – especially Bill and Chelsea and my mother, you mean the world to me and I thank you for all you have done. And to my extraordinary staff, volunteers and supporters, thank you for working those long, hard hours. Thank you for dropping everything – leaving work or school –traveling to places you’d never been, sometimes for months on end. And thanks to your families as well because your sacrifice was theirs too.All of you were there for me every step of the way. Being human, we are imperfect. That’s why we need each other. To catch ea ch other when we falter. To encourage each other when we lose heart. Some may lead; others may follow; but none of us can go it alone. The changes we’re working for are changes that we can only accomplish together. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness a re rights that belong to each of us as individuals. But our lives, our freedom, our happiness, are best enjoyed, best protected, and best advanced when we do work together.That is what we will do now as we join forces with Senator Obama and his campaign. We will make history together as we write the next chapter in America’s story. We will stand united for the values we hold dear, for the vision of progress we share, and for the country we love. There is nothing more American than that.And looking out at you today, I have never felt so blessed. The challenges that I have faced in this campaign are nothing compared to those that millions of Americans face every day in their own lives. So today, I’m going to count my blessings and keep on going. I’m going to keep doing what I was doing long before the cameras ever showed up and what I’ll be doing long after they’re gone: Working to give every American the same opportunities I had, and working to ensure that every child has the chance to grow up and achieve his or her God-given potential.I will do it with a heart filled with gratitude, with a deep and abiding love for our country–and with nothing but optimism and confidence for the days ahead. This is now our time to do all that we can to make sure that in this election we add another Democratic president to that very small list of the last 40 years and that we take back our country and once again move with progress and commitment to the future.Thank you all and God bless you and God bless America.非常谢谢大家，谢谢你们。

白宫记者晚宴段子手奥巴马的告别秀
白宫记者晚宴段子手奥巴马的告别秀白宫记者晚宴，“段子手”奥巴马的告别秀Obama Needles Clinton and G.O.P. Field at Correspondents‟ Dinner白宫记者晚宴，“段子手”奥巴马的告别秀WASHINGTON —President Obama poked fun at Hillary Clinton‟s lack of appeal among young people Saturday night, joking at the annual White House press corps dinner that Mrs. Clinton was like an aging relative who cannot figure out how to use Facebook.华盛顿——周六晚，在每年一次的白宫记者晚宴上，奥巴马总统拿希拉里·克林顿(Hillary Clinton)对年轻人缺乏吸引力开玩笑，说克林顿夫人像是一个不知道怎么用Facebook的长辈亲戚。
“Did you get my poke? Is it on my wall?” he said, imagining Mrs. Clinton trying to use the popular social media site. “I‟m not sure I‟m using this right. Love, Aunt Hillary.”奥巴马想象希拉里试图使用这个流行社交媒体网站时这样问人，“你收到我的戳一下(poke)了吗？它在我的墙上吗？我不知道我用的对不对。
爱你的，希拉里姑妈。
”Mr. Obama also needled Mrs. Clinton for paid speeches she gave for Goldman Sachs. He noted that if his comedy routine, during his final appearance at the White House Correspondents‟ Association dinner, was successful, he could earn “serious Tubmans” — a nod to Harriet Tubman, the American abolitionist whose image will be printed on future $20 bills.奥巴马还拿希拉里挣给高盛演讲的钱开心。

Obama, Hillary Clinton Speak Out Against Anti-Gay反同性恋Bullying十分
President Obama and Secretary of State国务卿Hillary Clinton each released video messages this week on the problem of bullying欺凌. Both messages centered on abusive behavior辱骂行为toward homosexuals同性恋者.
BARACK OBAMA: "Like all of you, I was shocked and saddened by the deaths of several young people who were bullied and taunted嘲笑for being gay, and who ultimately最后took their own lives. As a parent of two daughters, it breaks my heart. It's something that just shouldn't happen in this country. We've got to dispel消除the myth谣言that bullying is just a normal rite仪式of passage -- that it's some inevitable 不可避免的part of growing up. It's not."
One recent victim受害人was an eighteen-year old student at Rutgers University in New Jersey. Tyler Clementi was a first-year student and a promising musician很有前途的音乐家. In late September he jumped to his death from a bridge over the Hudson River between New Jersey and New York. Three days earlier, his roommate had secretly used a webcam网络摄像头to broadcast live images of him in a sexual encounter性接触with another man.
Law enforcement officials执法人员have charged指控the roommate and another student with invasion侵犯of privacy隐.
Last month, writer Dan Savage started the It Gets Better Project明天会更好项目. The purpose is to help LGBT -- lesbian女同性恋者, gay同性恋者, bisexual双性恋and transgender变性群体-- young people. President Obama recorded his message to show support for that project.
BARACK OBAMA: "I don't know what it's like to be picked选择成为on for being gay. But I do know what it's like to grow up feeling that sometimes you don't belong. It's tough非常艰难的. And for a lot of kids, the sense of being alone or apart -- I know can just wear on you磨练你. And when you're teased or bullied嘲笑或欺负, it can seem like somehow you brought it on yourself你给自己带来的某种不同的-- for being different, or for not fitting in with everybody else. But what I want to say is this. You are not alone."
Secretary Clinton released her message earlier in the week.
HILLARY CLINTON: "Like millions of Americans, I was terribly saddened to learn of the recent suicides of several teenagers across our country after being bullied because they were gay or because people thought they were gay. Children are particularly vulnerable易受伤害的to the hurt caused by discrimination歧视and prejudice偏见and we have lost many young people over the years to suicide. These most recent deaths are a reminder暗示that all Americans have to work harder to overcome bigotry偏见and hatred仇恨."
She said opportunities前景will only increase:
HILLARY CLINTON: "Just think of the progress made by women just during my lifetime by women, or ethnic, racial and religious minorities民族、种族和宗教少数派over the course of our history — and by gays and lesbians, many of whom are now free to live their lives openly and proudly."
The videos come as the government and the courts try to settle the future of the military policy known as "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Under federal联邦law, gays and lesbians can serve, but not openly. No one may ask about a person's sexual orientation 性取向. But service members can be discharged开除if they are found to be homosexual.
Congress国会and President Bill Clinton approved the law in nineteen ninety-three as a compromise折衷方案. Now a federal judge in California has ruled裁定it unconstitutional.
Last week she ordered a halt停止to all dismissals of gay service members. But on Wednesday an appeals上诉court let the administration temporarily暂时continue the policy.
President Obama says he wants to end the policy, but he wants Congress and not the courts to do it.
In July, the Defense Department e-mailed a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" opinion survey to four hundred thousand service members. Defense Secretary国防部长Robert Gates expects预计the results by December first.。
