Matt Frei’s diary: Groundhog Day
The president is fighting for his plan to reform the health system approved by Congress to lick the issue of homosexuals in US Army, a democratic party with their wounds and itching, some sounds to create his own election in mid – colloquialism?
It could be 1993 with 47-year-old Bill Clinton is the cost of a bad first year in the White House. Or in 2010 with 48 years, Barack Obama is almost the same.
But do not be surprised by the uncanny coincidence of history. It was Groundhog Day, after all.
President Obama should be called Punxsutawney Phil for the staff to keep the issue of Groundhog. Bill Clinton has plunged in May the first year. They have plans for health undermined by his own Democrats and Republicans, and was the landslide, the GOP running for election in the 1994 period.
But Newt Gingrich got a rich. Contract with America, sounded good but turned out to be a risk and Bill Clinton discovers the black art of triangulation. His Re election Bob Dole in 1996 was a breeze.
President Obama seems to take a whiff of history. Office of proving the master of triangulation: it was a war against Iraq, but has worsened, the war in Afghanistan.
He offered Iran has launched an open hand into a fist, and now have more warships in the Gulf.
Proposed reform of basic care, but then an agreement with insurance companies, has made much of the core of liberal in a rash.
In the budget this week that froze spending, however, have other $ 100 billion to create jobs.
He drew from the bank, then called the owners.
And, yes, even the nationality of triangulated. Since African-American comedian Wanda Sykes put it in the past Correspondents Dinner White years House: When it hurts, you call him half white. Bill Clinton was the magician and the investment in the top of Tony Blair. Triangulation is regular.
Today we are not talking or very good.
But Barack Obama is the embodiment of both. He uses his intelligence and elegant, this allows him to participate in shades. The Carillon emotionally with him.
The current President is a man whose quiet self-confidence is the result of the triumph of more than foreigners.
He grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii, studied at Harvard, then burst in the political snake pit in Chicago, foreign Obama was more talented.
He used the gifts to friends and disarm enemies. As tall and thin with the unusual name has never been one for granted and rejected any idea of supporting the right at a time when the country was sick and tired of the elites who had ruled in their name.
Obama and misled the country.
We have seen a reminder of Obama, the candidate in the State of the Union speech last week. Like all good speeches of the President reminded the audience suffers promise of America.
As usual rough ranking, the silence was interrupted, suspended when delivered by the preacher cadence, is a Republican who, if their struggle for the White House should move in four years have been.
