The following is the full text of Obama's speech after he won the election. In the actual delivery, he did not follow the script entirely but expanded on the middle part of the thank-you section. In the West, public speaking is taught as a specialized course to students, especially to politicians who master this skill at a young age. Among these, there are many classic inaugural addresses by U.S. presidents. For example, the well-known speech by President Kennedy where he said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." Although Obama had not yet been inaugurated, this speech was delivered to the people of Chicago after his electoral victory.
