President Obama has become in charge of the United States of America, and he is the first African-American president. His “Yes, we can!” and “Change” are very famous even in my country, Japan. These words are simple but powerful.
A book with CD which collected President Obama’s speeches is sold over 400,000 in only 2 months in Japan. Its publisher says this book is their second-bestseller. I was personally impressed by his speeches which he delivered in different occasions.
It seems that people buy the book for studying English, but want to buy its following version because they are moved by his speech. Actually, he inspires the hearts of Japanese as well as people of his country.
I liked his thought that we, whether Democrats or Republican, need to cooperate to rebuild America. Yes, they are all American.
I wish we, Japanese, have such a leader as President Obama...
I am hoping he actually "Change America" and the World!

Hi Lilly,
ReplyDeleteObama is a very inspiring figure. I think it's been a long time since we had a political figure who could actually touch the hearts of so many. Glad to hear he has had an effect in Japan as well.

Now many Japanese are interested in how President Obama will act on problems and issues in front of him.
