Obama is a complex character


Obama just finished his speech on Afghanistan . He just announced it will add 30,000 men to the 68 000 U.S. troops already there. We also know that he intends to ask the allies to send 10,000 more men to support the 42,000 Allied soldiers on the spot.

Many feared the escalation of the war. We talked about Vietnam. But now that Obama announced simultaneously a withdrawal from Afghanistan from July 2011. The Karzai government will have to work extra hard to be able to guarantee its security in the short term. Obama said the war is expensive and that military interventions are not the only way to solve international problems.

's announcement tonight does not look like an escalation. Rather, the announcement of a last stand before they can withdraw their heads high. Bravo! But ...

Obama told Afghans that he did not intend to occupy their country. What he does not say is that it does not need it. The U.S. military is already the world by operating more than 700 bases in 63 countries with a staff of 255 spread over 000 military 2.2 million hectares, which makes the Pentagon one of the largest landowners in the world.

Obama can not solve all the problems this year.

Professor Watson of Lynn University explains that Obama has settled more problems than Franklin Delano Roosevelt in his first year in office:


1. Ordered all Federal Agencies to study and Undertaker to make recommendations for Ways to Cut Spending

2. Ordered a review of all federal operations to Identify and cut wasteful practices and Spending

3. Instituted enforcement for equal pay for women

4. Beginning the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq

...

87. Attempting to reform the nation's healthcare system which is the most expensive in the world yet leaves almost 50 million without health insurance and millions more under insured

88. Has put the ball in play for comprehensive immigration reform

89. Has announced his intention to push for energy reform

90. Has announced his intention to push for education reform

Ce qui n'empêche pas la «gauche américaine» (si quelqu'un sait ce que c'est) de vitupérer l'infâme Obama qu'elle considère comme un candidat mandchou sent by the Republican Party to destroy the Democratic Party.

Thus, Obama called the Treasury friend of crooks, Timothy Geithner, to monitor the bandits of Wall Sreet. He left Congress to deal with the reform of the health system, thus risking to get a result without substance, or worse, no reform at all. He continued the policy of imperialist Bush renewing their positions in the latter's main collaborators: Robert Gates, David Petraeus and Stanley McChrystal. Finally, without saying so, Obama has effectively sabotaged efforts to reach an overall agreement on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The right also for other reasons, likens Obama to "Manchurian Candidate".

No, Obama, not even him, can not solve all the problems this year.

Obama is a character so complex that the American media are struggling to decode. The American people too much in the red states than in blue states. And me too. Frankly, I do not know what to think.
