(September 19) Most of Obama's popularity wears lasciatigli against intractable problems inherited from previous administration, the greater, of course, those who think of potergli blow the place will expire in two years when his first term.
Those who most fiercely criticize Obama belong to the movement of the Tea Party, which has fueled hatred for the black inhabitant of the White House (see the article in the September 15 "proto-fascist assault in the United States."). Stands out among them Sarah Palin and her former puppeteer, the already e forse ancora, aspirante alla presidenza John McCain. Ma tutti e due appartengono al partito repubblicano, dove costituiscono, per via del loro estremismo, un elemento di divisione. Se si presentassero come repubblicani, potrebbero avere il solo effetto di far naufragare alle elezioni del 2012 l’intero partito.
Non è assolutamente escluso che la Palin possa presentarsi come indipendente, ma in ogni caso l’etichetta del “Tea Party” non ha sui tempi lunghi gran possibilità di assicurare la vittoria a chi cerchi di giovarsene per la massima contesa. Questo movimento di tipo qualunquista, per quanto fondato in parte su motivi di protesta sentiti e legittimi è fondamentalmente un fuoco di paglia con una prognosi di sopravvivenza politica non superiore a quella che ebbero a suo tempo, nell’immediato dopoguerra, il qualunquismo italiano e il suo profeta Guglielmo Giannini.
E’ a questo punto che si leva all'orizzonte la sagoma di Michael Bloomberg, sindaco di New York, uno degli uomini più ricchi del mondo e molto ammirato come “doer” (uno che “fa le cose”) e per il buon lavoro che ha fatto sinora nella capitale cervello degli Stati Uniti.
Bloomberg è un vero e convinto uomo di centro: non è sollevato dall’ondata del “Tea Party”, che anzi cerca come può di contenere. Tra un paio di giorni, per esempio, inviterà a casa sua per una festa in suo onore il leader repubblicano the Senate, Harry Reid, who is a favorite target of the "Tea Party" (preparations are already underway, I can see why Bloomberg lives within walking distance of me).
Bloomberg is a friend of Obama, is indeed one of the few who calls on Obama to Washington for his rounds of golf. Despite being Jewish and from Wall Street, he was not intimidated by the powerful American Jewish lobby groups who seek to engage the West in their feud with the Muslims. For example, he instantly said, despite the ostracism of these furious lobbying in favor of the mosque, "ecumenical" designed as a peace initiative by a religious movement moderate Arab (Sufi) not far from the place where the Twin Towers collapsed.
Instead, Bloomberg is a friend of the great majority of Jews voted Democratic, support Obama and call for a solution bistatale and peace in Palestine. (The existence of this increasingly powerful current hostile fanatical pro-war and anti-Palestinian - aware that I promised to talk again - but seems to be unknown even to the rulers as Italian Foreign Minister Frattini, arriving in New York between a couple of days for the UN General Assembly will also need to meet or perhaps even prostrate themselves in front of representatives of the Israeli-American organizations on the right, apparently not knowing that there are Israeli-American organizations opposite sign.)
Bloomberg entered politics as a democrat, then took the Republican nomination a decade ago to compete for the office of mayor of New York finally became independent for a third term as mayor two years ago. If you wish to contribute to the White House was unlikely to be taken by the two major parties and it should stand as an independent.
The mayor of New York is a man too wise not to know that, historically, the leaders of the "third parties" almost always fail nell'assalto the White House (the experience of Ross Perot, another Wall Street tycoon, is still in the memory of all), and not to know also that, even historically, the mayor of New York has always been a lousy launching pad for this type of adventure.
But as the Americans say, "there is always a first time," and that Bloomberg does not deny to have a great desire, when in two years will end forever his position as mayor, to find another job at the highest level , Washington to find him and find him, if necessary, the White House. If he went to Washington, there should be only as president, told the New York Times, "I shall not accept, for example, a cabinet position." Then, if nothing sublime materialize for Bloomberg in 2012, he could always Starting in left for Washington four years later. In 73 years, he would have the "inauguration" three more of Reagan, who was the oldest of American presidents, but as we know, the age of men is increasing.
