President-Elect Obama’s Holiday Message in Multiple Languages
Posted by rkoPresident-Elect Obama’s Christmas/New Year message has been enhanced with our karaoke English captioning, and subtitled in Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Tagalog, and Spanish. We’re also hoping for some additional languages.
You can see it at these locations:
* On Youtube at www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXHdvgHM6fI and www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPyi4mI80WU
* On the web at www.captionedmediaforobama.com/prez/Obama_Christmas_iphone.mov
* at 720p resolution at www.captionedmediaforobama.com/prez/Obama_Christmas_720p.mov
* With the subtitles below the video at www.captionedmediaforobama.com/prez/Obama_Christmas_iPhone_large.mov
o This is our preferred format, as there is more than enough room with letterboxing for both the video and captions to show well on a 4×3 television.

Sen. Obama’s Remarks on the Financial Bailout Bill - “A Necessary, But Not Sufficient Step”
Posted by rkoThe full text of Sen. Obama’s remarks delivered just a while ago on this momentous issue:
Thank you very much, Madam President. And thank you to the distinguished Senator from Connecticut, not only for yielding time, but also for the extraordinarily hard work that he’s put in over the last several days, and in fact, over a week. And I want to thank his counterparts on the other side, including Senator Gregg, for their hard work.

Sen. Obama Speaks of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Posted by Asian Americans for ObamaIt seems like every other day, Sen. Obama gives another speech that ranks as historic. On Sunday, January 20, he spoke at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, GA, Dr. King’s church, of the legacy of MLK, Jr. and the lessons from his mission that are still terribly relevant today. In these remarks, there are many things which Asian Americans can learn and many areas where we as a community must examine our hearts and consciences to understand where we have succeeded and where we still fall short. Such moments remind me of the colossal and monumental importance of THIS moment. Sometimes I fear such sentiments, for they contain the potential for crushing disappointment, but I know that it is only such sentiments that drive the progress of humanity.
Let us heed the call of Sen. Obama to understand the urgency of this moment:
"Every
day, our politics fuels and exploits this kind of division across all
races and regions; across gender and party. It is played out on
television. It is sensationalized by the media. And last week, it even
crept into the campaign for President, with charges and counter-charges
that served to obscure the issues instead of illuminating the critical
choices we face as a nation."
"So
let us say that on this day of all day s, each of us carries with us
the task of changing our hearts and minds. The division, the
stereotypes, the scape-goating, the ease with which we blame our plight
on others - all of this distracts us from the common challenges we face
- war and poverty; injustice and inequality. We can no longer afford to
build ourselves up by tearing someone else down. We can no longer
afford to traffic in lies or fear or hate. It is the poison that we
must purge from our politics; the wall that we must tear down before
the hour grows too late."
