Barack Obama

First of all I must say that I prefered Obama to be the president of the United States than Mc Cain. I think Obama’s eleccion means a lot about the change that is making civil society in America. Many journalist were talking about the hidden racist vote, and the possibility of some surprises in the election nigth. Finally the forecasts were wright and Obama won the eleccions. I think Mc Cain represents the conservatism and the continuation of the Bush’s policies. Republicans don’t want to recognise the homosexual rights and they are against abortion. This ideas of the republican party are shared by the vast majority of the deep America.

Having said that I think in Europe and in the rest of the world everybody have put too many expectations in Obama. It can be dangerous because I’m not sure he is going to be able to make the big change we all are expecting. For exemple , all the companies and lobby’s who has given money to help Obama’s election campaign now will ask him to give them some “favors”. No politician is free from all that kind of preasures and they are not free to make all what they want to. And more in the States, where the politician campaing is very expensive and the financial contributions are crucial to win the elections.

Another problem for Obama will be the Irak war. During the campaign, he said the troops were going to be back home if he became the president of the United States. We'll if it is true and all the aerican forces in Irak will be back home or they continue with the Irak ocupation.

The financial crisis in the United States and in the rest of the world is another big problem he has. Everybody is waiting for the magic solution but I think it will be more complicated to solve than we think.

We'll see what happens, and if the big expectation Obama has created is certain and everything changes for the better.
