En direct de Facebook, pour tous ceux qui croient encore que c’est un lieu d’ânerie, voici ce que Bob Dylan (yep, the times they are a changin’) écrit sur son profil.
Vous noterez qu’il y a le mot « partager » – c’est une fonction que j’adore!
Of course, this is not only a time for celebrating. It is but the first step in a long, hard journey for America. Obama needs to be working harder than he ever has in his life. There will be rough times ahead. He has talked and he must walk. He has to prove that the American people didn’t make a mistake, through his policies and his actions.
I respect McCain, but I think people are looking for a different sort of president. In the battle between experience and vision, the vision is coming out on top. Let us not forget how our founding fathers had no experience in governing a nation, but they succeeded based solely on the fact that they had to succeed. When Kennedy promised Americans would go to the moon by the end of the sixties, most of us thought he was nuts. But we believed him. We hadn’t invested much into space flight, we didn’t really know what the technical aspects of a moon landing would be like. But in ‘69, Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk the surface of the moon.
Sometimes that is really all it takes: such a strong desire for something that you have to succeed. It’s what they call the American dream. Not that we always succeed, it’s that we succeed when we need it most. Today can be a day to be proud to be an American, but also a day for people with a vision to come together and try building a better and stronger America. We cannot fail, but I think that is why we will succeed.

Super petit billet par une légende vivante… Seule chose qui me gosse dans son message (et que Obama n’a jamais fait monter en moi d’ailleurs): cette façon qu’ont les Américains de considérer que la force de caractère et la volonté de se surpasser et de réussir est leur apanage propre. Ce qui est intéressant dans leur sociologie, c’est plutôt d’évaluer ce qui fait qu’ils peuvent exercer cette volonté avec autant d’ostentation…

Bob a du pif pour reconnaitre les visionaires,les resiliants,les out-cast,les marginaux qui ,comme lui reussisent à toucher le coeur des gens,il a reconnu Barrack,c’est bien,etrange et doux !
