The presidential center was created “as a monument to our unshakable values,” Mrs. Obama said, even during “anxious and divisive times.”
Michelle Obama Reminds the World Barack Won a Nobel Peace Prize, In Subtle Jab to Trump
At the dedication ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, Michelle Obama took the stage and delivered a line that brought the crowd to its feet. Running through her husband's eight years in office, she listed the economy, healthcare, the Bin Laden raid, the auto industry rescue, and then landed on it: "winning a peace prize." The crowd erupted. Hillary Clinton, seated nearby, could be seen laughing and cheering along.
The moment was impossible to miss. Trump has spent years insisting he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize, publicly claiming credit for diplomatic achievements and openly contrasting himself with Obama, whose 2009 award he has long resented. Michelle didn't say Trump's name. She didn't have to.
The ceremony brought together an extraordinary gathering of American leadership. Former Presidents Biden, Bush, and Clinton stood together on stage alongside their spouses, and former Vice President Kamala Harris was also in attendance. Trump did not come. He had previously called the $850 million center a "total disaster."
米歇爾·歐巴馬提醒世人，歐巴馬曾獲諾貝爾和平獎，暗諷川普
在芝加哥歐巴馬總統中心落成典禮上，米歇爾‧歐巴馬登台致辭，一句妙語引得全場起立鼓掌。她回顧了丈夫八年的執政成就，列舉了經濟、醫療保健、擊斃賓拉登、拯救汽車工業等，最後提到了「獲得和平獎」。現場頓時沸騰起來。坐在附近的希拉蕊·柯林頓也跟著笑了起來，歡呼雀躍。
這一幕令人矚目。多年來，川普一直堅稱自己應該獲得諾貝爾和平獎，公開宣稱外交成就歸功於自己，並公開將自己與歐巴馬作對比──他一直對歐巴馬2009年獲獎耿耿於懷。米歇爾沒有直接提及川普的名字。她也無需這樣做。
此次典禮匯聚了許多美國政壇的傑出人物。前總統拜登、布希和柯林頓攜配偶一同站在台上，前副總統卡馬拉·哈里斯也出席了活動。川普沒有到場。他此前曾稱這座耗資8.5億美元的中心是「一場徹底的災難」。
2009年，諾貝爾委員會授予巴拉克·歐巴馬和平獎，以表彰他為重建國際外交、推進核裁軍以及重塑與世界各地美國盟友的關係所做的努力。該獎項認可了他為全球領導力帶來的基調和遠見。川普從未獲得諾貝爾和平獎。
今天，米歇爾·歐巴馬面帶微笑，在全國人民面前提醒了所有人這一點。
The Nobel Committee awarded Barack Obama its Peace Prize in 2009 for his efforts to rebuild international diplomacy, pursue nuclear disarmament, and reset relationships with American allies around the world. The award recognized the tone and vision he brought to global leadership. Trump has never received one.
Michelle Obama reminded everyone of that today, with a smile, in front of the whole country.
