NEW YORK - Barack Obama change the team and prepare a two-year period in the trenches. It's a real attitude of fighting what the president organize the day of establishment of the new House majority right. The White House wants the right men to deal with the guerrillas Republicans between now and November 2012, the appointment of the presidential election.The mission that Obama relies on new staff is clear: the Republicans fit into their internal contradictions among the troops nazionalpopuliste who want the state minimum of big business and lobbyists begging subsidies and state orders. In the end all will be played on two points: if in the next 22 months there will be a solid growth with millions of jobs, and in this case those who can "put the hat" on the recovery.
Obama wants to return to show off his other side, the tactician who in 2008 routed the powerful electoral machine of the Clinton family, and then the army Brancaleone McCain-Palin. This time no longer has the advantage of the outsider. Must play a triangulation: Alternate fist hard against the right, with the necessary bi-partisan compromise to advance some of his legislative agenda.
Give it the faithful spokesman Robert Gibbs, one of the few to call with the Obama name. But is not fired for poor performance, Gibbs actually going to prepare the electoral strategies already in 2012, and will be a regular guest of talk show to devote full time to scrap future "presidenziabili" on the right.
The prolific (and freedom of controversy) Gibbs on Twitter and Facebook will be multiplied, now that is free from the burden of the daily press conference. Away with David Axelrod, with the same motivation: the magician of the polls should stay far away from the burdens of executive power and return 100% to his job that the vote recount in America is profound.
But part of David Plouffe, the man who had conducted the campaign, which became number one adviser. The new names are given in pole position as chief of presidential staff as a mastiff William Daley. The process of rapprochement with strong powers of capitalism is confirmed from the alternation of Volker, former Fed chairman has always been very hard on Wall Street.
To replace Rahm Emanuel candidate for mayor of Chicago, so Obama could draw from the same "clan", that the Democratic Party in the city where the president made his bones as a social activist in the most degraded African-American neighborhoods. The Democrats in Chicago are attributed all the qualities and all the vices: Mafia, and damn effective.
Richard Daley is the brother and son of two legendary mayors. E 'state of Bill Clinton's Commerce Secretary. He currently works at the bank JP Morgan Chase. He has the profile of an expert manipulator and unscrupulous. Can patch up relations between the crucial Democratic Administration and the business world: the hostility of American capitalism in 2010 was decisive in bringing about the advance of the election the Republicans.
The political victories are built through fundraising, and Obama must prevent that a year from Wall Street and big business's vote against funding the right. The urgency of the new appointments will be dictated by the timing of the opponent. The program has a deadly right for the first 20 days of this term.
Why the hurry? Because only between 20 days back to meet the Senate where the Democrats retain a majority (albeit slim), and then later this month's State of the Union speech that enhances the visibility of president. Before then, the stage belongs to all the new right. So now we vote on the repeal of health care reform, about 100 billion of spending cuts, the dismantling of environmental standards and consumer protection.
More than the concrete results - remove the health care reform is impossible without the means of the Senate, and Obama still has a veto - has to show consistency in front of the electorate most uncompromising of the right. Particularly those of the Tea Party who sent their deputies to Washington with a clear mission: "to destroy the Beast", to dismantle what remains of the welfare state.
But already you can feel the bellyache of big business. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce (Confindustria) protested that the right of the Pasdaran also want to cut public funds for high-speed highways. Breaking down the welfare state is good, but not what fattens profits for businesses. It is precisely this kind of contradictions that Obama launches his new attacking formation.
