President Obama's Weekly Address from January 24 2009 with subtitles in Occidental

President Obama put out his first weekly address since the inauguration yesterday, and it looks like a great candidate to translate into Occidental: lots of people are watching it, it's free of copyright, and there shouldn't be any problems with translating the terminology into Occidental (usually formal language is easier). I've uploaded the video already and will be adding to it bit by bit; it should be done in about a day. After it's done I'll probably ask better Occidentalists than me to correct it or suggest improvements.



Edit a few hours later: damn, that was quick! Note to self: weekly addresses by Obama are easy to translate. I might have to make this a weekly event if they all turn out like this. Here's the weekly address in full:

English	Occidental
We begin this year and this Administration in the midst of an unprecedented crisis that calls for unprecedented action.	Noi comensa ti annu e ti administration in un crise sin precedent, quel necessita action sin precedent.
Just this week, we saw more people file for unemployment than at any time in the last twenty-six years, and experts agree that if nothing is done, the unemployment rate could reach double digits.
