NEW YORK - A freeze for five years for a slice of public expenditure. One million electric cars by 2015. Massive investment in innovation, education, clean energy and utility projects. And above all a collective effort to create new jobs and overcome, with the same determination with which the United States responded to the challenge of Soviet space, the uncertainties of a changing world ".
These are the key proposals launched last night by Barack Obama: "It 's time Sputnik of our generation," said the American president spoke for over an hour before Congress and across the country. The State of the Union speech is the most important annual event (and formal) of American politics.
Required by the constitution, passed on to unified networks and delivered before a joint session in the rooms, as well as government members, judges of the Supreme Court and military leaders, serves to illustrate the White House's policy goals and set up the collaboration with the parliament.
And the 2011 edition Obama, who has climbed so surprising in recent opinion polls, declined to confirm his move on posizionei political center and more than moderate, inviting Republicans, who form a majority of the room, to work together to him. "The voters - the president said, referring to the midterm vote - they want the two parties share political responsibility." Hence a flurry of proposals that Obama cares about the right, such as reducing corporate taxes, which the United States are among the highest in the world, simplifying the tax system and the fight against sneaky spending.
Even in the classroom of the Capitol last night breathed a different air than usual. The shooting on 7 January in Tucson, Arizona, against the deputy Gabrielle Giffords, which has cost the lives of six people, has been linked all'imbarbarimento of political struggle. So for the State of the Union speech many MPs wanted to give an example of higher civilization sitting next to his opponents: former Democratic candidate John Kerry in the White House was close to former Republican presidential candidate John McCain.
Other members of the two parties on the jacket sported the black and white ribbon in memory of victims of Tucson. Obama has used for twenty-five times the word "jobs", jobs: to understand what must be the priority, not only the White House, but in general the American political world. For too long, in fact, the unemployment rate is stuck at just under 10 per cent and without a reversal of the voters are ready to send home not only Obanma but the Republican president of the chamber, John Boehner, and his majority.
Recalling that China has the fastest computer in the world and the research center's most advanced solar energy, Obama has insisted on his new job comes from advanced sectors. Hence investment in innovation in order to improve the school system and the modernization of infrastructures, starting from the extension of broadband and wireless fast to 98 percent of the U.S.
population. "E 'Sputnik's time for our generation," he annotated the occupant of the White House, recalling that passed in the first instance by the Soviets, the Americans were the first to land on the moon in 1969. The analogy used in the speech is obviously not accidental: JFK was the president most beloved by Americans, to imagine the man on the moon by 1970, that promise the impossible, the dream inaccessible that his successors were then able to achieve.
"Half a century ago, when the Soviets overcame us with the launch of a satellite named Sputnik - Obama said - we did not have the faintest idea that we would have beaten them on the moon. Scientific knowledge and NASA were not even there" . Immediately after the State of the Union speech, the television broadcast the response of the Republicans.
Or rather, the two answers. Because yesterday, in addition to the keynote address given to the young deputy Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the Tea Party that wanted to speak his representative, Michele Bachman. Both have criticized the measures the White House on the reduction of public spending, considered insufficient.
But they also demonstrated how the right is increasingly divided inside.
