Excuse me for making a simple query. Is it that almost all the US Journalists stand diagonally opposite in every issue Obama faces after Nobel Peace Prize, 2009 conferred on him? The picture was not so only a few days ago. Naturally, we, the journalists around the world, set to think about the latest post-mortem of Obama. We should have received the columnists heartily. Sadly, I don’t find them well-suited with me.
Americans are, at present, so very critical about every action of their President that I doubt about the wisdom of the Democrat, the insight of the columnists, all the distinguished and the voter in general who established Obama’s contest in the Presidential election in 2008 to secure a overall change. It’s not that they lack in laudable intelligence, controlled sentiment, understanding others and power of reasoning. But their political sagacity appears to me clouded and clumsy.
Richard Cohen in his valued article: “Obama’s Identity Crisis” published in “The Washington Post” on October 20, 2009 has applied his power of thinking and analysis. It’s, in fact, a fine censure. He begins saying “Barack Obama is his own worst enemy”. Count down has just started. It has been nicely illustrated that Obama “is pretty close to the most perfect person you will never get to know”.
“This is what he does not do in the course of the primary and general election campaigns: He does not lose his temper. He does not curse. He does not follow a pretty woman with his eyes or sneak a smoke. He does not dress sloppily. He is always calm and always good-natured…” What better is expected of an ideal man, please?
Exceptionally, this can never be expected from an American, even when whose origin is 100% white. Something unusual has been detected and we thank you Cohen, for such compliments about him. Had he been truly yours, he should have denied of these attributions. Take it from a true Indian; Obama is the right person who is designed to do something good and significant for the entire world. Please don’t poison him.
With the context of a movie Cohen raised some points to march into crude reality, “In a conventional movie, the hero has to change. Something has to happen — the moment when character is revealed. Maybe he loses the girl and has to get her back. In politics, something similar is supposed to happen. …your walk on the beach with Billy Graham, your impoverished childhood, your mission work abroad, etc“—Oh! What an evaluation! We are simply absorbed.
“Obama has those moments — abandoned by his father, biracial in a world that prefers things neat, rose in Indonesia — but they are not cited as life-changing events. None of them, at any rate, are given much importance in the documentary. Even the bitter primary fight with Hillary Clinton — all that ugly stuff about race and Bill Clinton, of all people, being accused of playing the race card–could have been happening to someone else. Obama observes his own life. He’s not a participant.”–It is you to decide how far he was politically motivated.
“He is something new, something young, something biracial and something black, but he is not something from a political or ideological constituency. He is adored by his fans–not for something he’s done, but rather for something he is. So far, that has been a weakness in Obama’s presidency.”–Would you think twice about what you couldn’t but mention?
Well, didn’t you have the intention to measure the actual depth of Obama? On Friday, October 9, 2009 **Describing himself as “both surprised and deeply humbled,” Obama said he did not view the award as a “recognition of my own accomplishment” but as a way to give impetus to broadly shared aspirations.** Again, he said, he would accept the prize” as a call to action” to confront the challenges of the 21 st century, including nuclear nonproliferation, climate change and racial and religious discord.**–That was just the beginning.
Bernard Shaw said, “Politics is the game of scoundrels.” Of course, all the politicians do not like to uphold that status. There are honest and loyalist. Any way, this attribution has worsened the spirit of power politics in all the countries around the world. So with an open mind this can safely be said that world peace is in jeopardy among so many politicians in and around America. Obama can earnestly aspire but who’s there to listen to him?
Finally, without going in details about the attributions applicable to the challenger, I surmise that Obama is made of steel; none can shape him as his sweet will. Under any circumstances Obama is competent enough, surrounded by the members of the undaunted Senate and so many people by his side, to take the lead. You needn’t be afraid at all. If he fails to achieve all that you expect him to accomplish, he will have to pay for that. After a considerable time, as the antagonist will determine, you better get organized to impeach him.
