is logical that one must speak of the arrival of Barrack H. Obama to power in U.S. It goes without saying that it is a historical fact and is the first African American in that position, which is a milestone in the historicity of human rights and combating racism and that finally, FINALLY, Mr. W is going to his ranch Texas to play with their dogs and read books upside down.
But I do not want to talk about Obama only because he is a black in power, or because it is a turning point in U.S. history What interests me most about Obama is the caliber of politician he is and the example he gives the world of how to do politics.
Beyond its characteristics as a person, Barrack Obama is a new political generation, a breath of fresh air when it comes to politics. That was the main reason why I felt an affinity with him and was even stronger when his counterpart, John McCain, showed an attitude of "more of the same" in their policies, his oratory and his rudeness.
What strikes me is Obama's attitude towards politics and towards people. What rescue is her lack of glorification of his status as a politician, ie he was not acting as a "political", but is shown as a man concerned about his country you want access to power to solve problems. Because in the end, that's what it really is a politician, a person seeking power to take actions that will benefit the nation to which it belongs. Or at least that is what should be a politician. I
may arise as a new breed of Chilean politicians who were something like Obama. Not because of his rhetoric or his incredible record of service, but by its ability to be a natural man and sincere in making policy and really want to work for their country . That and it was clear to these early days of his mandate, which is already taking major decisions such as cerrar Guantanamo y buscar dialogar con los países de Medio Oriente. Obama ve a su país siendo vilipendiado por el mundo y realmente quiere remediarlo y hacer lo que se tiene que hacer. ¿Es acaso tan difícil saber hacer bien la pega de uno?
Así que gracias Barrack por tu ejemplo de liderazgo y de nueva política, no tanto por las ideas, sino por la actitud. Gracias por no abandonar tu BlackBerry y por ser capaz de equivocarte en las palabras del juramento de puro nervio. Gracias por quedarte horas hablando con personas que ni conocías cuando estabas en campaña, no para ganar su voto, sino porque tenían un problema y querías realmente encontrarle una solución. Gracias por ser un político que no tiene una esposa decorative but dance with her, hug her and you flirt with her in public (Bush pat on the back of your old lady does not count, that was until derogatory). Thanks for not letting you intimidated by the expectations of all the world is watching, being able to say "I have all the answers, I'm going to make mistakes, bear with me, by actually wanting to do things well, to inform, to work Indeed, read many reports, hear many opinions from many different sides, and finally say that one of the tenets of the U.S. is to be non-believer, not to succumb to populism that you could use for your race and the role that you fulfill that and for being just so cool. Political
Chilean (and the world) now have the upper hand. Put the batteries and generate a new breed of politicians that they can finally convince me that it pays to be a citizen in this country! Is it too much to ask?
