last night as a Torda I am completely forgotten the inaugural address at the White House Obama. Republic opening this morning I find the headline on the subject and giving head to the wall as it's been stupid, I read it while drinking coffee. I must preface
one thing: the speech is chock full of "American" (pass me the end ...), there is a line in the speech that oozes patriotism, which is also understandable given that I know of a people more proud of American patriotism that has become their adhesive (the matter of the Twin Towers sign). Reading
am not able to do comparisons with the Italian situation, the way Obama wants to address the crisis in my opinion is the best approach to the problem: is not there to pretend that nothing happened without finding the real causes that led to the current situation, indeed perfectly identifies the weaknesses of a system must be reformed.
E 'now well understood that we are in the midst of a crisis. Our nation is at war against a network of violence and hatred that comes out. Our economy is badly weakened, the result of greed and irresponsibility of some, but also our collective inability to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new era. Some have lost their homes. Jobs have been erased. Businesses shuttered. Our health care is too expensive. Our schools fail too many. And every day brings new evidence that the way we use energy strengthens our enemies and threaten our planet.
These are the indicators of the crisis, subject to statistical analysis and data. Less measurable but equally profound is the loss of confidence across our land - a nagging fear that the American decline is inevitable, and the next generation must lower.
comes to me to the point, insecurity, lack the confidence because when you are not resumed, and any rescue measure is seen as a set piece where there is something wrong that improves on what time, but does not give you the feeling that the long-term measure that serves really something.
For everywhere we look, there is work to do. The state of the economy calls for action, strong and quick, and we will act - not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth.
build the roads and bridges, power grids and digital lines that feed our businesses and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield the wonders of technology to raise the quality of health care and lower costs.
harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories.
It will transform our schools, colleges and universities to meet the needs of new times. We can do it. And we will.
What he says is nothing new, it is clear that something must be done, whether we speak of public works, whether we speak of energy sources. What I like is the fact that its proposals are looking to the future, not waste time in making comparisons with the past (so that at one point saying "do not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in his defense"; we must act, and quickly, so what better way to find solutions and put them into practice?
Cito a last step, that Italian politicians should keep in mind:
What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted under their feet. Stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply. The question we ask today is whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works or not - if you help families find a job at a decent wage, affordable health care, a pension worth. Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward. Where it is not, put an end to those policies. And those who manage the money of the community will be held accountable, so spend it wisely, reform bad habits, and do their business in the light of day - because only then can we restore the vital trust between the people and their government.
