I am sure there is no American citizen who did not see and hear the speech of the elected President Obama.  As I know that there are countries (especially my own, the Netherlands) where his speech wasn’t broadcasted in its full length, I see it as my duty to include the video’s here for them. I thougth that this speech was so amazing that they should enjoy it in it’s full length rather than a few fragments of it. I know that everybody just can look it up on Youtube, but I also know that some people like it when somebody else already looked it up for them. Don’t call them lazy, I am one of them

The speech is devided into two video’s. If there are enough comments and request for it I am willing to post a version with the complete Dutch subtitles or a seperate special Dutch transcription of it.

For my dear readers that already enjoyed the speech: please feel free to skip this post and sorry for stealing your time with it.

For all the others: Enjoy just like we dit here in America at the end of the election!

As I know how timeconsuming Internet can be in these days I very appreciate that you took the time and visited my blog. Thank you so much!

Until we meet,

Mario

I can’t go to sleep before I did not congratulate all the citizens of the USA and the rest of the world with the election of the new President Barack Obama. As I was for the very first time in my life in the states and had the permission to help handle the lever on a Obama-vote, this is an unforgettable day to me. I witnessed history from the home of a very adorable family in Brooklyn who gives me the privilege to be their guest for a week.
When I left the Netherlands on November 3, I came from a country who’s people hadn’t much sympathy with the American’s anymore (after 8 years Bush), even though the Dutch government tends to say otherwise. What makes my heart sing is the fact that, when I get on my plane back home on Sunday November 9, I will go back to a country where the vast amount of citizens share their feelings with the American people again. I’ll go back to a country where the people share the love and hope with the Americans. This are more than just some words written down in blog. This are two of the most important values we have: love and hope.

Yes We Can!

What else could I say more?

Thank you America.

Hugs,
Mario
