Yes we can

Hay discursos que son mucho más que un simple discurso, y hay políticos, que son mucho más que políticos. 3 palabras y un sueño: Cambiar la historia. Un grupo de música, los Black Eyes Peas, han realizado un video musical para apoyar al candidato afroamericano. La letra es el discurso que Obama pronunció tras las primarias de New Hampshire. Mañana es el supermartes, así que solo nos queda esperar que eso del "yes we can" sea verdad.



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 they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who
pushed westward against an unforgiving 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 American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea
to shining sea – BARACK OBAMA

Yes, we can.

A mi me parece que el video está muy bien. Reune grandes estrellas de U.S. (apoyo mediático) y la canción es pegadiza. Y bueno, la letra, obviamente, muy interesante.

Pero, creéis que U.S. y el mundo están preparados para un Primer Presidente Negro? No creo que lo estén para una Primera Presidenta Mujer...

Os imagináis pasar del esperpento de Bush a un presidente negro?
Can we?
