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. It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.

種族不重要，有希望才重要 ─ 希望的力量
誠如今年諾貝爾經濟獎得主Paul Krugman克魯曼先生所說：「2008年11月4日星期二，這是永留青史（遺臭萬年的相反）的日子。如果我們選出第一位非洲裔總統沒讓你激動莫名，沒讓你熱淚盈眶，你八成有問題。」

美國總統當選人歐巴馬先生為自己寫下一頁傳奇。當選演說沒有空泛的激情，取而代之的虛懷若谷，誠摯地道出少了你、少了新的服務精神、少了新的犠牲精神，改變就不會發生；他誠摯地邀請選民同心協力，一起面對國家未來之經濟等等各項重擔與挑戰。
克魯曼又說到：新政府指出，相信貪婪是好事的保守意識形態多少促成這次經濟危機，這種說法是公平的。小羅斯福在他第二任就職演說中說：「我們知道莽撞的追求自身利益是壞品行；我們現在知道這也是壞的經濟政策。」因此，反過來說，好的品行也是好的經濟政策。
回頭反觀台灣這個小國，我們連日來以非理性、流血衝突，失控地對待一位來訪的言語細緻、身段柔軟的客人，我們，我們又再一次丟臉丟到國外。台灣就這麼小，究竟爭什麼？為何而爭？為誰而爭？台灣對外關係，錯綜複雜，我們需要智慧與眼光，也需要謀國的忠誠，「愛拼才會贏」並不適用於此，石頭和汽油彈也絕對不能「消滅共產黨」，更打不出台灣的前途。海角七號無關族群政治，它更深的意義應是：希望的力量與夢想的堅持。
