Finally, in his second year, Obama must, as he put it last summer in a speech to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), “aim higher.” He was elected not simply because he is a cool crisis manager, but because he had a vision for a more economically just society.
最后，在其任期的第二年，奥巴马必须“设定更高的目标” —— 如同他去年夏天在全美有色人种协进会（ NAACP ）的一次演讲中所言。人们选他当总统，并不仅仅因为他善于应对危机，而是因为他心中有个大愿景，要建立一个经济上更公平的社会。现在，危机管理的阶段也许已经过去了，到了把那个愿景描绘和实施出来的时候了。
