Obama regains the lead policy with his speech in Tucson

The country was in need of comfort and the president came to the rescue at the epicenter of a tragedy that promises to alter the political landscape in America. Barack Obama not only came to Arizona to join the pain of the victims of the shooting, which made the more convincing. The president crossed the country from snowy Washington to sunny Arizona to call all Americans to civility, the moderate and peaceful debate of ideas.

Republicans were cornered in their extremism. Obama fully resuming the political initiative. "At a time when our discourse has been polarized abruptly when we insist on throwing the blame of the world's ills at the feet of those who think differently from us, is very important that we pause a moment and make sure we talk in a way that heals, not in a way that hurts, "Obama proclaimed in the best-known version of his gift for rhetoric.

The president worked the miracle of turning the blood in hope for a moment that will define his presidency. Obama rose from their seats to more than 14,000 people who had waited more than eight hours to enter the enclosure of the McKale Center. Another 13,000 people were brought to the football stadium adjacent to the desert night became very cold-due to lack of space in McKale.

Millions more watched the speech on television and felt comforted, as polls begin to show, having been reunited with the president who had always dreamed of. The need for comfort and delivery of the public was such that sometimes the atmosphere became lively, as if those present wanted to forget why they were there: the death of six people, including a girl of nine years, the bullet that had pierced the head of a congressman and the serious wounds, physical and psychological-suffering citizens of 14 other irrational acts of a 22 year old, Jared Lee Loughna, armed with a powerful gun.

"Smile in adversity only makes us better and stronger, it is no sin," said Delores Combs, a woman who consoled her husband, but impassive and serene, stroking her back while she would not stop mourn among a half-smile. "His words heal," said Combs, referring to the president's speech. There were great moments in Obama's speech, perhaps the best of his presidency.

Those moments that presidential historians recorded for posterity and for which some have already pointed out similarities with the healing words of Martin Luther King. "What we in any way we can do is use this tragedy as an occasion to become each other," claimed Obama. "Let's use this opportunity to extend our moral imagination, to listen to others carefully, to sharpen our instincts for empathy and remind ourselves of all possible ways to link our dreams and hopes." The president of all Americans asked for something that seemed impossible, but unanimously convinced, judging by the applause of a present need of guidance.

"If this tragedy generates reflection and debate, as should happen, we must ensure that they are to height of those we lost. Let's make sure we do not go back to the typical habit of winning political points and the pettiness that always ends up spreading in the life cycle of news. " The president devoted a hope-filled words to Gabrielle Giffords, Rep.

wound, which he visited in the morning. "Gabby opened her eyes," Obama revealed. "She knows we're here, that we want and that we support in what will undoubtedly be a difficult road." The president called to build an America that is at the height of Christina Greene, the nine year old girl who was born in the tragedy of 11-S to end up dying under fire from another attack fan.

"I want to live up to their expectations," Obama said, his voice off by applause and standing in the audience cheering. "I want our democracy is as good as Christina imagined." Christina's eyes looked like a child, "without the darkness of cynicism and virulence that we accept as normal adults on many occasions." So be it.
