Barack Obama has taken on Thursday to the victims of 11-S the consolation that finally justice has been done and those responsible for crimes has ended up paying with his life. "This is a message around the world and our country when we say we will never forget, we mean it," said the president on a day that closes a chapter of American history and puts Obama in an unexpected ecstasy of communion with their compatriots.
"I hope to represent some sort of consolation for you all to know that when those men took extraordinary risks to go to Pakistan, they were doing it in part on behalf of the sacrifices made by the United States, they were doing in the name of your brothers lost, "Obama said in a meeting with New York firefighters, one of the few acts of the memorial ceremonies in which his words about the recent death of Osama Bin Laden was made public.
The rest was private and quiet, which added strength to a celebration of great symbolic impact which the highlight was the part of Obama offering a wreath at the tree managed to survive attacks by Al Qaeda and replanted in the where the Twin Towers stood, has regrown strongly. United States needed an occasion like this to close the circle opened on 11 September 2001 and on which he has turned, not only politics but the national emotions during this time.
I needed that, at least from his particular concept of justice and defends the values that leave no room for contemplation before an enemy who has tried to destroy him. The event on Thursday was, therefore, a demonstration of firmness and conviction in the case that America claims to represent.
In the eyes of all who were able to follow the images became clear that while Bin Laden's body rests on the bottom of the Arabian Sea, at Ground Zero began to rise again majestic buildings that will soon take the place of those who were shot down. Obama, who was cheered along the way with chants of "USA, USA!" He wanted to go to certify this moment of national pride and to share with the families of the victims' memories and the pain it brings.
Every Monday, on a regular basis, Obama spend some time reading the letters they send anonymous citizens. A recent Wall was signed by Payton, a 14 year old girl whose father disappeared in the 11-S and asked council to deal with that loss. She was the first person the president embraced at Ground Zero and the cameras that captured a generation of Americans grown in the shadow of that event.
As surveys show, Obama has already achieved a great political performance of the death of Bin Laden. In the overnight, the country sees it much closer, his figure has gained stature, credibility and trust. It is unpredictable how long can anticipate this phase of his presidency sweet, subject to other economic threats that once again be a priority for citizens and are not easily resolved.
Obama can not send a command with the mission to lower oil prices. What Obama can do is to make this moment be the basis for rebuilding a lost political consensus in recent years and is trying, in the best spirit of Ronald Reagan, promoting optimism and unity. "Americans," he told New York police officers, "even in the midst of tragedy, you know being together over the years, above politics, above party, above governments, to ensure that justice is done.
" "When we're together we are capable of doing everything," he said Sunday in announcing the death of Bin Laden. Not be easy. These hours of excitement always lend themselves to excessive voluntarism. Obama refused, for example, be accompanied at the ceremony of President George W. Bush, who has given some credit in the elimination of al Qaeda, but Bush refused.
Sarah Palin, who represents the more radical opposition, has joined the pack of skeptics about what happened in Abbottabad and called the photos of the corpse of Bin Laden. But the truth is that most Republican leaders today, the chairman of the House of Representative John Boehner, has supported Obama and his decision not to publish the photos.
