1er janvier 2007<\/a>:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abFailure is not usually an attribute used to sell American presidents, but that is how Bill Clinton is pitching his wife to Iowa’s voters in the final days before the state caucuses. Hillary Clinton has a crucial quality for an occupant of the White House, the former president argues: the strength to carry on after getting it wrong.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbYou need to know how a president deals with failure, he told a packed fairground hall in this town south-west of Des Moines. For some, this makes a compelling argument, coming from the only living Democrat to have occupied the Oval Office for two terms. Who better equipped to offer a lesson on the makings of a president than Bill?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t()<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00bbHillary’s failure, as first lady, to carry out healthcare reform becomes a virtue. She tried and, as everyone has told you in this election, she failed. We failed. I failed, he said. The next president, unless he or she is locked in a closet for four years, will sooner or later fail at something, just like we all did. So what you need to know is how will your leader respond to failure, he said. What did she do? She went back to work.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tOutre la tactique \u00e9lectorale, on appr\u00e9ciera une certaine audace dans le propos. L’\u00e9chec est rarement un argument aux USA, terre c\u00e9l\u00e9br\u00e9e pour la vertu de la r\u00e9ussite, o\u00f9 l’on n’aime pas les perdants (losers<\/em>) et ainsi de suite. Alors, peut-\u00eatre les temps changent-ils. L’\u00e9chec est devenu tellement la marque de fabrique de la politique US qu’il vaut mieux savoir comment s’y prendre quand on pr\u00e9tend diriger cette politique. L’argument de Bill Clinton pourrait \u00eatre ainsi consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme le reflet r\u00e9aliste de l’\u00e9volution catastrophique des USA, outre, bien s\u00fbr, qu’il pr\u00e9tend clouer le bec \u00e0 ceux qui attaquent Hillary pour ses \u00e9checs.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
