La vie apais\u00e9e de l’homme le plus puissant du monde, et pourquoi cette vie lui convient<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\t13 avril 2004 CBS News, relay\u00e9e notamment par le Guardian d’hier<\/a>, nous apprend que GW Bush est une sorte de pr\u00e9sident \u00e0 mi-temps. En pourcentage, la chose est pratiquement confirm\u00e9e. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\t\u00ab President George Bush has spent more than 40% of his presidency at one of his three retreats, sparking criticism from Democrats that he is not taking his job seriously at a crucial time in US history.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb Mr Bush was on his 33rd visit to his ranch in Crawford, Texas, at the Easter weekend, where he has spent 233 days or almost eight months since his inauguration, according to a tally by CBS news. Add his 78 visits to Camp David and five to Kennebunkport, Maine, and he has spent all or part of 500 days out of the office while in office.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\tCes pr\u00e9cisions et ces accusations contre GW Bush peuvent effectivement \u00eatre d\u00e9velopp\u00e9es et \u00e9ventuellement pr\u00e9senter quelque int\u00e9r\u00eat. Ce n’est pas s\u00fbr. Par contre, leur int\u00e9r\u00eat \u00e9vident, qui n’a aucun besoin d’\u00eatre mesur\u00e9, concerne le personnage du pr\u00e9sident, le r\u00f4le qu’il joue et le poids qu’il a dans son administration.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tGW m\u00e8ne une vie paisible et r\u00e9gl\u00e9e comme du papier \u00e0 musique. (\u00ab Regardless of what is going on in the world Mr Bush is usually in bed by 10pm and wakes at 6am. As governor of Texas he would be in work by 8.30am and out by 5.30pm. In between was a 90-minute to two-hour break for exercise or a nap.<\/em> \u00bb) On sait qu’il ne lit pas les journaux, qu’il s’en tient aux informations de son \u00e9quipe, y compris les m\u00e9mos et les briefings de la CIA qu’il ne lit ni n’\u00e9coute pas n\u00e9cessairement d’un oeil\/d’une oreille attentive. (\u00ab Mr Bush was at his ranch on August 6 2001 as part of a month-long holiday when he received the briefing warning of Osama bin Laden’s determination to attack the US, which has become a focal point of the 9\/11 commission of inquiry.<\/em> \u00bb)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tEt alors ?, devrait-on demander \u00e0 ce point. A quoi sert-il de s’exclamer \u00e0 propos des qualit\u00e9s et capacit\u00e9s du Pr\u00e9sident ? Peut-\u00eatre le r\u00f4le du Pr\u00e9sident a-t-il d\u00e9cisivement chang\u00e9 avec GW, apr\u00e8s une intense pr\u00e9paration de ses pr\u00e9d\u00e9cesseurs (principalement Reagan et Clinton).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tL’essentiel, \u00e0 notre sens, pourrait plut\u00f4t \u00eatre trouv\u00e9 dans cette analyse du 8 avril de Steven Thomma, de Knight Ridder Newspapers<\/a>, qui nous dit :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00ab Country’s widest political division is the gap over religion.<\/em> \u00bb Cette analyse est fascinante, dans ce qu’elle nous montre combien la religion est devenue le facteur essentiel aux USA aujourd’hui, combien la prochaine \u00e9lection se jouera finalement sur ce terrain.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\t\u00ab The religion gap is fast becoming the country’s widest political division. Those who regularly attend religious services vote Republican by a margin of 2-1, and those who don’t vote Democratic by the same margin.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb This growing gap helps explain why the country is so divided politically. Born in the culture wars of the 1960s over abortion, prayer in public schools and women’s rights and deepened by competing visions of morality, it’s being reinforced this year by new fights over gay marriage and the Pledge of Allegiance.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t()<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb The division is growing wider in American politics. It’s almost as if the two sides live in parallel universes, said John Kenneth White, a political scientist at Catholic University in Washington and the author of a book called The Values Divide.’<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t()<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb The outline of politics we see today is much more cultural than economic, said a Democratic strategist who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of upsetting the Kerry campaign. The last time the cultural division was this clear was the 1890s.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\tC’est donc dans ce cadre exceptionnel qu’il faut consid\u00e9rer la pr\u00e9sidence GW et la candidature GW. Aujourd’hui, le pr\u00e9sident repr\u00e9sente le chef naturel d’une partie importante de la population US, non pour ce qu’il fait, nullement \u00e0 cause de sa politique, de son emploi du temps, de la profonde vacuit\u00e9 de ses r\u00e9flexions, mais parce qu’il est per\u00e7u spirituellement comme repr\u00e9sentant de cette foi, de ces pratiques, de ces conceptions. (\u00ab Bush is a Methodist who regularly and publicly attends church. He calls Jesus Christ the most influential philosopher in his life. He invokes his faith when making policy decisions, from limits on abortion and stem-cell research to war. Most notably, he casts the war on terrorism as a struggle between good and evil.<\/em> \u00bb) Demain, 80% de la population pourrait d\u00e9savouer la guerre en Irak et 75% penser que le pr\u00e9sident Bush ne fait pas a good job<\/em> \u00e0 la pr\u00e9sidence. GW ne serait pas battu pour autant.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tVoil\u00e0 pourquoi, nos moqueries, nos sarcasmes, nos remarques qui se veulent subtiles ou intellectuelles, tout cela n’importe pas \u00e0 GW Bush. Il pr\u00e9f\u00e8re partir se reposer \u00e0 son ranch texan.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
