After Bin Laden, Obama is (almost) unbeatable

The first person singular used by Obama during much of the 9 and a half minutes of speech with which announces to the world the killing of Bin Laden says, better than any other analysis, the important point is scored by the Commander in Chief of the forces United States armed. (Parentheses for those who say that this has not happened: please explain why Al Qaeda has announced in a press release, that their leader is dead) That video is, in fact, a spot of campaigning.

I do not think you can come to the conclusion that everything (time, manner, communication of the event) has been thought to favor Obama, I doubt that the CIA lends itself to this, but certainly the opportunities that presented themselves have put the main contributors Chairman of the conditions to get the maximum benefit in view of forthcoming elections now.

The re-election of Obama, in fact, has never appeared in the discussion due to a non-trivial problem: the absence of the opponent. But effective activism caciarone Tea Party is well suited to a battle of opposition, but it is not suitable to build a political project, a vision. It also represents the instances of a conservative part of the electorate, the most radical, and that way of doing politics may in the long run, scaring the moderates who, in part, have already voted for Obama in 2008.

None of the names that were announced in these two years seem authoritative enough or otherwise able to put all agree. Obama knows that much of its success will depend on the weakness of the opponent and as such is taking steps to ridicule all his potential challengers. The latest masterpiece during the event with the foreign press correspondents in which he made fun of the desperate to discredit towards his "Americanness" by Donald Trump showing a video of the Lion King at the close of a game won by the Obama himself with the publication of the birth (here is the full video, which I strongly suggest you to see), shows the situation under control by the president.

But Obama did not want to just play and remittance can claim huge results already three, two of which have already been consigned to history and will therefore be brought to the attention of the electorate who can only see the merits of this administration. First of all, Obama has taken the necessary decisions to eliminate Bin Laden.

His Republican predecessor, George W. Bush, there was successful in 7 years of trying and wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He, democratic and Nobel Peace Prize, he succeeded in only three years. Deliberately going for slogans (as we will see will be different from those of campaigning), "the antiwar Obama has been able to do better than the warmonger Bush in the fight against terrorism" and this, in itself, is something that will send a deep sense of security for Americans.

Secondly, Obama has saved capitalism implosion. I will not go into the merits of medicines, treatments and solutions, as they are not entered on his Nobel Prize. But the system is standing upright and the United States, despite having faced a frightening economic crisis from which they are not yet fully emerged, are divided on growth levels comparable to those of Germany.

"Obama has saved the world economy: oversimplified but just another slogan for the campaign. Put in place the pillars, Obama can even afford to play the victim for the third game, the most important from a substantive point of view but also the most difficult to defend: the health care reform.

Each vexatious and vindictive attitude on the part of Republicans in the Parliament (after the Democrats lost the midterm elections) can be an excuse to accuse the right to campaign on the skin of the poor. So Obama will reinforce further the emotional bond with the middle class and poor.

Where there comes a dream, the new, sometimes the promises not kept, they will reach a few solid certainties, the return to national pride, a billion dollars to spend on the campaign and a leader, Barack Obama, still young and still capable of all to dream (last night the celebrations of the Americans were accompanied by several choirs sang a Yes we can, which now seemed hazy) and hold your hand over the country.

Even with that first person singular.
