All polls predict a hurricane Republican legislative elections Barack Obama walk for weeks with his head down road to the electoral gallows. A week after the elections next Tuesday 2, with a popularity rating fall from 70% to 45%, admitted defeat in advance in the TV show progressive Daily Show comedian Jon Stewart. "People are frustrated," said the president. And as timid apology said: "There are things that people do not know we did." An apology that sounds strange coming from the mouth of communications expert par excellence. To try to prove that all is not lost, Obama said in that interview: "We never said we could get all our objectives in 18 months."
In these mid-term elections for which you have to spend every U.S. President is elected 435 members of the House of Representatives and one third of the 100 that make up the Senate for 38 governors, as occur simultaneously several local and regional elections. All polls predict a tsunami Republican sweep in both houses and the main battleground states, leaving tied to Obama in their final two years in office and aborting (slips, the Republicans do not abort) your chances of being reelected in 2012. The cause of this defeat announced, this accelerated wear as Obama miracle half a world clouded only a couple of years, can not be attributed solely to the already devastating effects of global capitalist crisis, which arose precisely United States. Without being any radical, if one attends to international standards, Obama it is for the United States. It was too
a party like the Democrats, conservative, pro-slavery and anti-black since he was born in 1824 and for several decades, to the point of being the backbone of the Ku Klux Klan (President Harry Truman recognized member of the KKK) evolved during the twentieth century towards a progressive positions, changing roles with the Republican Party (both born in the same trunk, the Democratic-Republican) and arrive in the XXI century to nominate a black presidential candidate. Too much change, yes. But Barack Obama has not only faced since it took office on January 20, 2009 the aggressive harassment and boycotting of the Republican Party and the main lobbies, which have great power of influence.
No, Obama, despite being voted overwhelmingly in its internal match against its great rival, Hillary Clinton, the current Secretary of State does not have the support of all Democrats or less. This was seen in the rejection members of his own Cabinet to investigate the serious human rights violations committed by the Bush Administration under the "war on terror", was in his frustrating battle to close Guantanamo, and turned to check on the debate health reform, which ended decaffeinated as little remained of his original idea. Several political families that coexist within the Democratic Party and Obama play a Bonapartist role, balancing between each other. Last Thursday, in the prestigious blog The Caucus The New York Times, analyst Michael D. Shear explained the pressures that Obama suffered within his own party, and the weight have different trends. "Is Obama too shy?" Shear titled his note. And he explained that this was a critical sector making it the most "liberal" Democrats, who in America is equivalent to progressive or left. Shear explained that the most liberal or left of the Democratic Party, the Progressive Caucus, with 78 members in the House of Representatives (out of 255 Democrats) pressured the president to be more radical in their program. This sector asked to support them, "a smaller and more cohesive caucus." But the so-called Blue Dogs and the New Democrats, the current of the moderates and centrists, accumulate 105 seats in the Chamber, the majority in the Democratic Caucus. Barack Obama know, therefore, that although his ideology is closer to the Progressive Caucus, indispensably required the support of the other two schools to try out your program later. Shear recalls in his analysis, to make matters worse, that according to a recent Gallup poll, 42% of Americans say they are "conservative" 35% "moderate" and only 20 claimed "liberal." With these internal and external figures on the table, Obama does not have much to celebrate. In recent weeks has focused on remodeling his Cabinet, in an attempt to attack those most immediate problems confronting our citizens. This fact is well known for the Republican Party and hence the euphoria and radicalization. They currently have 178 seats in the House of Representatives and 41 in the Senate, but they are sure to get a majority in both chambers.
Since Obama came to power, the Republican Party radicalized his speech and had the Tea Party, a movement with cavemen values, ultra-conservative, xenophobic and homophobic, sworn enemy of all that strikes a staunch advocate State of weapons, which has been growing like wildfire across the country. Led by Sarah Palin, former governor of Alaska and former vice presidential candidate in tandem with John McCain in the election that Obama won in a short time has become a powerful current within the Republican Party. Palin publicly acknowledged that he will fight within his party to be the Republican nominee for president in 2012. Tuesday's elections will give a first guideline on how close the Republicans are returning to the White House.
