はい、私達はできる！

はいそうだ、私達はできる！(To tell the truth, "Yes, we can!" is a very, very difficult phrase to translate in Japanese. Even I cannot find out a suitable paraphrase for it. But 「はい」 does not completely correspond to "yes". I think it is sometimes suitable to translate 「はい」 as "you are right" or other phrases. In this case, Mr. Obama uses "yes" to stress his confidence, and in this reason I recommend you to translate "yes" as 「そうだ」.)

I envy you. We need another Mr. Obama in Japan....
