Thanks to the heroic efforts of numerous volunteers, Asian Americans for Obama has put together a set of videos about Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, and Maya Soetoro-Ng (Barack's sister), as well as supporter created videos of grassroots AAPIs for Obama and the popular Si Se Puede Cambiar music video, with Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Spanish subtitles. These videos have been assembled into a DVD that will be distributed by grassroots supporters throughout the AAPI community, but you (and anyone else) can watch them online now on YouTube at this page:

Thanks to the cool system of subtitling used by our technical mastermind, Michael Novak, the subtitles are presented below English captions that highlight each English word as its spoken. So now, people can be inspired by Barack and Michelle and others and improve their language skills at the same time.
Please share these videos with your friends, family, colleagues, neighbors, etc.

Thanks to all those who worked so hard on creating, transcribing, translating, and doing all of the technical work necessary to put together these videos. More subtitled videos are on their way. If you want to help us translate these videos into additional languages - Tagalog, Hindi, Urdu, etc. - please contact me.

Update from Ramey: In response to several requests to make the subtitled videos available for download in addition to viewable on YouTube, Michael Novak has uploaded high resolution and/or "broadcast quality" versions to his web page. These are very large files, so download may take a little time, but Michael says the download speed on his site is quite high.
To download videos of Barack, Michelle, Maya, and supporter created content with Chinese, Korean, Spanish, and Vietnamese subtitles, please visit http://tertia.mnovak.com/...
