I made a bat election, sleeping in installments, to follow the trend of the results of the American elections. In contact via msn with some friends and crazy fans like me, I tremble awaiting only final results, calculating how many delegates McCain won over Obama in Georgia or in the fateful and crucial Ohio.
In the morning I was happy. Happy that he won not so much a Democrat as a candidate who represents a clean break with the past, brings a breath of freshness and rejuvenation, who may have some intrinsic value of inexperience (who was born "learned" raise your hand) but that will no doubt be invoked. Barack Obama has clear ideas, foresight and determination and above all is a man who sees in the nation, which since January 20, 2009 will be officially a cohesive community. Significantly, in the victory speech he said "We've never been a collection of all individuals, there are no red states and blue states, and we'll be forever the United States of America" \u200b\u200b to stress this common vision. Maybe
hear our politicians talk like that and especially by the Italians feel this same spirit of cohesion. This is one of the things that I envy the Americans: the principle of right or wrong , it's my country, which is not nationalism but proud to be a great nation, for better or for worse.
here that I can not agree with my friend Andrea, to whom I borrow a quote from his blog : "A young man [...] a hope for the United States and why not, even for us of the Old Continent. I am convinced that even among our young people there is someone who possesses the determination and the characteristics to be the new leaders of our country: a country that needs new ideas that look beyond the ideological differences are part of a century by eight years we have left behind. Our country needs to recover the ' unity of purpose, to create a shared memory and leave it to history what is history. "
The problem is to leave space for these young people in politics, since there was tangentopolies there was no longer the generational change that both parties deprecated the first republic, DC and PCI in mind, however, guaranteed. The gerontocracy existing at various levels, with that wealth of experience that you must treasure, alone can not carry out innovative projects, if not supported by fresh forces and dynamics in both Italy needs.
If the election of Obama may be to capture the leaders of most of our country (the country is a term I've never liked) to give opportunities to young people in politics - horrified at those spots candiature the last elections of some girls (who knows why only members of the fairer sex then) arrived in parliament without having even made its way up in a city council - will be a first step towards the construction of an Italy different.
close this excursus back to the 44th U.S. president in 2006, after the elections to the Senate in Washington, I spoke with my friend Andrea, the young senator of color that had been so successful among voters. We were charmed by his manner and his ideas by watching some videos on Youtube. As a joke but with some hope, we thought it was nice that one day this man Barack Obama, the story so unique and very American, entered the White House. Today, that day has arrived.
GOOD WORK, PRESIDENT
