オバマ大統領の誕生

Barak Obama候補の巻頭言 からはや2年が経とうとしています。
いよいよ、その日がやってきました。

未曾有ともいえる複合的危機に、新しいリーダーはどのような現実的決断を下し、行動していくのか。
世界中がこれからのアメリカの動きを固唾を呑んで見守っています。
人類の歴史の中でも、間違いなくこの日＝2009年1月20日は2001年9月11日と同じように、
しかし全く反対の意味合いで、末永く語り継がれていく歴史的な1日となることでしょう。
世界にとって、久しぶりに明るいニュースとなりそうです。

ＹｏｕｔｕｂｅのFeatured Videosでは歴代大統領のInagural Addressが紹介されていました。
レーガン元大統領のものはこちらです。

※レーガンさんの動画はhigh quality版ですので、動作が重たくなります。
軽いバージョンを見る際には、画面右下のwatch in normal qualityをクリックして下さい。

これ以外にも、たくさんのInagural Addressの動画がアップされています。
現代史を振り返るためにも、また英語の勉強にもなりそうです。
お時間がおありの方はどうぞご覧下さい;-)
以下、少し長くなりますが、Youtubeから直接貼り付けておきましょう;-D
