Thank You America
Wednesday, 05. November 2008
America's vote has demonstrated to the world an unprecedented generosity and gesture none of our western countries is ready to.
America's vote had shown up a blessfully gesture and apologize to history mostly colonial.
America's vote had casted and revealed unprecedented humility one can hardly challenge to find elsewhere.
America's vote had also stamped how and why it's a great country, often quite depressing, but where the principles that rule daily life have worked and allowed Senator Obama to be elected.
Theories may have raised to open rooms for critics and nasty geopardization, waived by the most questionable news and papers medias editors, but the truth is quite damn simple:
'Obama is a real politic leader, may be designed to be a succesful president, but undoubtly the one that have understood where stands the american spirit, what all was about the electoral system, and mastered the art of power. There were no way otherwise for the democrats to come back to power following their latest victories if not that guy'.
He had geniusly applied the 'inner' model of those in power, had leveraged the unprecedented and tremendous budget campain to beat them in their own monopoly.
He had done nothing more than to make the demonstration, as an undisputable fact, that even with the simplicity of his message (YES WE CAN), the path to win these elections was to brightly use the basics principles, powerfully and in a decisive fashion.
Devising along the campain about his inexperience, track record, faith and so on, the republican candidate missed out the essentials he was supposed to be granted.
Not a question in this post for me to come back to those fallacies, you can pock around the medias or on the web (there are countless of all sorts; videos, blog posts, medias headlines, pseudo revelations, 'pallinolades', .... and so on).
I came accross John Cusack's post (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-cusack/no-currency-left-to-buy-t_b_140250.html) while the campain where entering it's final trail. I was delightfully blessed to read it, as I did'nt ever know nothing about him, and I would like to say THANK YOU John.
But if I'm allowed, I'll focus on the neo liberal motto and general posture that have (and will) dominate(d) troughout these two centuries, in a cynical fashion to try a picture of what have happened in that campain that have brought this historical result that rehabiltates the USA, as none other policy could have done for a while.
May this post be seen just as a controversial viewpoint, I fully assume that!
1/ Obama had carefully never outshined his opponent. He had genuinely made him feel comfortably wise, but more, had not tried in any way to impress him, what was the more counter effective way to display his talents. As a result, the GOP's PR staff and (media) afficionados made the mistake to focus on angles that were to make the republican candidate appear more experienced, while we'll see further that this assumption seems finally to have been overstated.
2/Robert Green have recommended as a principle, to never put too much trust in friends and better learn on how to use ennemies.
In fact, Obama was not the Democrats' bet in this race to White House, nor did he put enough trust in the results if he was to accept public financing, that should have led to make the party's baronies to play a role, polluting the campain, nominate Hillary Clinton and possibly allow a republican victory.
His move to opt for a direct financing by individuals donations, not only was the smartest one could have made, but as a result, enrolled massively people in the campain, extending the lines and crossing social categories.
As a way to apply economic principles to politics, it was nothing more than giving to any single citizen the simplest and effective way to cast his opinion. And it worked, as they felt like shareholders of this venture.
3/The democrat candidate and now President-elect has acheived along this campain, what could remain in history books as the 'perfect resistance' and demonstrated the applied virtues of resilience.
How this came to be truth is that he has succeeded in general to conceal his governing intentions, keeping his opponent off balance and in the dark.
This have lead the republican to repeatidely and uselessly focus on those some themes that he was granted to get public favor, while his core campain message was narrowed and finally did'nt reach a larger audience than its camps.
Left dead in the polls this past summer, fully concious that the financial collapses coming will open rooms to a broader audience, Mr Obama has shown an unprecedented ability to GIVE TIME TO TIME.
4/ While Lehmans Brothers' collapse became public, thanks to ex JP Morgans that have poured into the Bush administration, and had taken an opportunity to clear out their industry and build their future revenues, the time had come for the Democrat candidate to smartly get the job done by his opponent's camp, but more, HE KNEW HOW TO TAKE ALL THE CREDIT.
Fear against Hope! Then looking back to what could remain as 'Pallinolades' in US political history, one could easily understand how 'Experience' has been overstated.
Many political and media analysts, have started to point out some unpredictability about the Democrat foreign policy, while the masses were awaiting about economic responses in a suddenly darkened world by the perspective of a global collapse.
It was all that was about, and that could be the lesson for the republicans to understand that american citizen can be fooled once, but they allways end to take control.
5/ The Democrat candidate has let arguments to his opponent, opting to win trough actions. That could explain those momentary triumphs somehow Pyrrhic followed by changes in opinions and statements made both by the Republican candidate and Gov. Pallin, along the last weeks of the campain.
He then entered action the lasts weeks with boldness, not commiting to anyone but himself, more concentrating his forces on a remarkable set of challenges, and faithfully planning all to the end. And it has payed!
To conclude let's say this.
What is tremendous and allows to oppose to the 'inexperience' vow that has spreaded along these last week about the now President-elect, is that he has won making these huge accomplishments seem effortless, has kept up the US citizens need to believe and have created a cultlike following.
He has overcome the Clinton machine inside his own camp, has demonstrated he mastered the art of timing, has shown along 21 enduring months that he has full control over himself, has sniffed out the spirit of the times and the trends that was likely to carry him where he is now and has been since the debut presidential if not royal.
What's next? In the domestic affairs, many have to be done, and involve every single citizen. It will not be a matter of politics only and afro-americans that have been singularly touched by this election will have to behave more than anyother.
In Foreign policy, let's say that USA is USA, and none can ignore it if not at its own peril. Great day, great times.
