"Today we are called to a new era of responsibility, awareness, by every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation and the world, duties that do not grudgingly accept, but we welcome with joy, knowing that there is something more pleasing to the spirit, no more annealing for our character, that work hard to resolve a difficult task. "
Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States, celebrated yesterday with a long speech (from Youtube ) his office at the White House. The last eight years behind and the bright sun of the flag that stands on the stars and stripes are the best summary of the speech in which Obama has called the work the American people, aware of the profound economic crisis, but also identity , which is facing his country.
"But I tell you, America will be met" . Instills confidence in the President so because, despite not being spared the kind of protocol with regard to his predecessor George W. Bush, Obama has stressed the worst aspects of last year Americans. a "weakened economy, because of greed and irresponsibility of some" and the tendency to "protect the interests and petty postpone unpleasant decisions" are a perfect critical synthesis of the main activities (or rather inactivity) of Republican governance. So what must we do to reverse this trend, Americans are clamoring for and more. "Starting today, we need to raise us up, dust off, and return to work, to remake America" \u200b\u200b. Obama knows how to answer this question, but the question arises: which to remake America?
In a situation very similar to that found today is Franklin Delano Roosevelt. With his New Deal America seemed to rise from the ashes of the huge crack in the '29 stock market, and from there to a decade, the country would dominate the world after the Second World War. America came where no nation or state or dictator or emperor had never come: from all its decision depended the future of the planet. With the nuclear bomb set a military record, with the Marshall Plan and the economic infused with Hollywood films throughout the world the impression that the U.S. was really the bearers of that ideological primacy of democracy and freedom that has so far scored any American foreign policy.
From Roosevelt was born a signature of the most powerful nation in the world and, even today, despite all the past, Obama said in his inaugural speech: "We remain the richest and most powerful nation on earth" . But, with this in mind, Obama seems to want to draw up its own fundamental values \u200b\u200bof Americans. "The divine promise that all men are created equal, and free, and that everyone is entitled to fully realize their happiness" , said the President, is one of the concepts on which it based the struggle of the American revolutionaries and founding fathers to create the United States. Liberté, Fraternité, Egalité , in other words summarizing the paper signed by George Washington on September 17 
Just today that we have reached the apex of this historic action, presents a unique opportunity for Obama. The President pointed out that America is "a nation of Christians and Muslims, Hindus and Jews and even non-believers" . We hope you realize that today America is not just the Americans, of whatever race or religion they are, but, because of the location where it was desired to place than the world, it belongs to all peoples of the Earth.
Obama cited a phrase with which Washington then revolutionary army general, addressed the American people before the Battle of Trenton, one of the most significant for independence. "Let the world know ... that in the future heart of winter, when nothing else survived, if no hope and the value ... the city and the countryside, alerted the common danger, came forward to address " .
Well, President Obama, that the future world to know that in the heart of winter, when nothing else survived, except the hope and the value, the West and East, alerted by the common danger, came forward to address it.
Maybe the man in charge of the most powerful nation in the world can not really do something?! As of today no longer a question of Yes we can. Today becomes Can you do it?
