精彩演说欣赏:
“‘The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.’”
“Words I did not fully understand until our daughter was taken from us three days ago. But now we can rejoice and be glad, for that which was lost has been found. That my child is back in her mother’s arms is serendipity and grace; a second chance that will not slip through our hands again. I wish I could tell you there’s some new policy, some new weapons system – a silver bullet, perhaps – that could meet this moment; that could keep us safe from the terror that’s now among us. But if I were to say that, I’d be lying. All I can promise is that I will fight with every fiber of my being, every weapon in our our arsenal, and with every ounce of God’s grace...”

“神给予我们的,亦可夺走”
"这句话直到三天前我的女儿被从我们身边夺走时,我才理解它的含义。现在我们又充满了欢愉的心情,因为找回了我们所失去的。
我希望我能够告诉你们能够配合现在的这个气氛发表的:一些新的施政策略,一些新的武器系统--- 或者说, 解决一切的银弹,能够保护我们免于受到恐怖主义的侵害。但是如果我那样说的话,显然是谎言。我所能够承诺的就是,我将尽我的全部力量, 用尽我们武库中的一切武器,祈求神所能够给我们一切恩惠,来保证美利坚合众国公民的安全,幸福,繁荣。"
