Yes We Can - Barack Obama Music Video






《摘自網路上部分演講稿》
It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the
destiny of a nation. Yes we can.

It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail
toward freedom. Yes we can.

It was sung by immigrants as theystruck out from distant shores and
pioneers who pushed westward against anunforgiving wilderness.
Yes we can.

It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the
ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a
King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the
Promised Land.

Yes we can to justice and equality.

Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.

Yes we can heal this nation. Yes we can repair this world.

Yes we can.

We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no
matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way
of the power of millions of voices calling for change.

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics... they
will only grow louder and more dissonant ...

We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned
against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the
unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false
about hope.

Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in

Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets

of LA;we will remember that there is something happening in America;

that we are not as divided as our politics suggests;that we are one

people;we are one nation; and together,we will begin the next great

chapter in the Americanstory with three words that will ring from coast

to coast;from sea to shining sea --

Yes. We. Can.


想來其實感到悲哀。同樣是總統大選，當美國候選人紛紛提出政見，舉辦多場辯論演講，
台灣的政客仍然在大打口水戰，無論是藍是綠，到接近總統大選前的今天，都還沒有提出
一項關於經濟、關於民生、關於教育等等讓人感到能夠信服的政見。這是民情所致？是台
灣人民都習慣了用口水來淹沒選情嗎？我想人民不致於愚笨至此。

當身邊許多朋友紛紛表示要投下一張廢票，認為不管投藍或投綠對無法給自己一個交代，
政治人物是否該自己檢討，為什麼無法讓人們為你歡呼？！

看看別人，想想自己吧！
