Yes, We Can! 迎向希望，擺脫恐怖

-Lyrics-
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 --

Yes. We. Can.

Barack Obama in Indiana: Unifying America

*************************************************

同樣是總統大選，歐巴馬的競選主軸是給予民眾「希望」“Hope”，強調「改變」“Change”、「團結」“Unifying America”、「是的，我們可以…」“Yes, We Can!”等正面的核心價值。
反觀台灣大選，舉目盡是負面文宣，恐嚇言論，不復見八年前的「有夢最美，希望相隨」，而是噩夢相隨八年，虛耗空轉，不知檢討，憑啥逆轉勝呀？
真的台灣分裂太久了，我們何時可以看到「團結」的中華民國台灣？不僅只是在八搶三的奧運棒球資格賽裏……
「是的，我們可以…改變」，用手裡的那張票找回台灣人的核心價值。
