Barack Obama took office on January 20 as the forty-fourth president of the United States. It is a historical fact, not only because it is the first African American president in the neighboring nation, but also because their arrival at the White House put an end to the period of tragedy has been, as the citizens themselves, the worst presidential administration the history of that country.
Obama's track record suggests that he come to the White House accents of human and social sensitivity, respect for other nations, tolerance, appreciation of education, science and culture, realism and political sense , attributes that during eight years have been absent from the executive branch in Washington.
The figure of the current Democrat is seen as the key to economic recovery, peace in the Middle East and elsewhere, development and social integration, for the reformulation of the terms that govern the financial and cultural exchanges, to reduce poverty, to solve the problem of criminalization of migration and many other contentious issues in the U.S. and global outlook.
For the new president the burden of hopes and unrealistic expectations is more than a factor of force, a serious danger, as it virtually inevitable a string of frustrations and disappointments, as varied as the individual and collective aspirations related to him. United States will remain, predictably, an imperialist country and stick to the predatory logic that characterizes its history. Another fact to consider is that the U.S. hegemonic power is a global almost always ominous, not infrequently bloody, exceptionally, positive, meaning that Washington has excess capacity to create or exacerbate underlying problems outside its territory, but rarely has the power to resolve, even when these sets in motion the governmental will.
Everything suggests that in many respects a change coming course in the neighboring country and that, under the direction of democracy, its government will be less damaging to the outside and maybe even good for the domestic sphere. But you can guess the pace and depth of change, and it is appropriate, therefore, to moderate expectations.
