Part of me feels that America didn't vote for Barack Obama, not for his ideas nor his charisma. When America voted Obama, they were above all voting democrat due to the current economical situation in the US.
Although the 民意调查 told us that Obama was in the lead, one might have still predicted Mccain as the final outcome.
As previously an African American president was unheard of. Even his predicted outcome in the 民意调查 failed to convince me, believing that Obama like so many other black political figures in America would suffer the 'bradley effect'.
This would lead many to the conclusion that America's attitude to race has changed. and thought i do believe that the younger generations have, obama leading 由 a great majority in the 18 - 25 age range, i think there is another explanation.
The economical crisis, struck America much harder than it has (yet) in Europe. People from the middle classes losing their house, job, savings. it is therefore unsurprising, that in a country where there is no left that the voters choose to vote center right rather than extreme right as the democrats offer 更多 social policies. it has proven to be so in the past , in 1932 Roosevelt won the election after the great depression in 1929.
If there is any doubt one may look to congress, there is often no correlation between president and congress, that is to say whilst the president might be republican the congress may be democrat. 2008, both are democrat, this suggests the choice was not Obama but over all democrat. One might therefore argue that America has not changed, i beg to differ but to realize that the change might to me as radical as it seems.
After all, the only thing to change in American politics will be its 首页 policies. The USA's attitude towards the rest of the world, I suspect will remain much the same. It is doubtful that Obama will remove troops from Iraq in the following 16 months as promised
As America’s energy policies depend on its control of Iraq’s petrol. After all the why have gotten this far in the 'war against terrorism' not to reap its rewards. I fear that Obama will disappoint when it comes to this issue.
Don't get me wrong I like Obama but I'm concerned that many will judge America's intentions and agenda 由 it's sparkly new Cover entitled Obama.
