L’Am\u00e9rique ressemble \u00e0 une maison qui br\u00fble, devant laquelle se chamaille un certain nombre de capitaines des pompiers. Chacun d’eux, \u00e0 tout hasard, voudrait bien \u00eatre vizir \u00e0 la place du vizir. (Le vizir lui-m\u00eame, d’ailleurs, a cette ambition.) Ils se chamaillent pour savoir qui prendra la pompe \u00e0 incendie pour la diriger vers le feu et pouvoir dire en prime time<\/em> : C’est moi Voyons le d\u00e9tail.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tLe chaos \u00e0 Wall Steet engendrant le chaos au Congr\u00e8s, la campagne pr\u00e9sidentielle ne pouvait \u00eatre en reste. Apr\u00e8s tout, nous sommes en d\u00e9mocratie et l’\u00e9galit\u00e9 r\u00e8gne. C’est donc le chaos dans la campagne \u00e9lectorale, avec, semble-t-il, une manuvre de McCain pour tirer b\u00e9n\u00e9fice pour lui seul d’une initiative venue semble-t-il d’Obama, pour une action commune des deux candidats dans le concert cacophonique issu de la crise financi\u00e8re. Ainsi se confirme-t-il que la crise financi\u00e8re s’\u00e9largit<\/a> \u00e0 une crise politique, ou bien, disons chaos \u00e0 la place de crise et l’affaire est conclue. Dans tous les cas, le th\u00e9\u00e2tre passe de Wall Street \u00e0 Washington<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tDans un bulletin du 24 septembre<\/a>, CNN.News<\/em> nous donne un d\u00e9tail qui semble assez juste de la manuvre de McCain. Les deux candidats avaient conclu qu’ils feraient un communiqu\u00e9 commun sur la crise, apr\u00e8s avoir interrompu leur campagne et regagn\u00e9 Washington; mais McCain suit ses conseillers les plus avis\u00e9s et y voit une occasion de remonter dans les sondages; il fait une d\u00e9claration \u00e0 la TV annon\u00e7ant qu’il se mobilise, lui, pour lutter contre la crise, mentionnant effectivement le communiqu\u00e9 commun mais ajoutant que la chose est d\u00e9pass\u00e9e et qu’il faut agir.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abBut McCain, appearing live on The CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, challenged Obama’s claims that he supported a joint statement.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThis is not the time for statements. … I think the American people expect more of us. And I would hope that we would respond that way, he said. We discussed that we do agree, and I’d be glad to to join in a common press release or statement, but now is not the time for statements. Time is now to act, he added.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tLes d\u00e9mocrates sont \u00e9videmment furieux. \u00abAsked about political motivation in the news conference, Obama said to check with the other guy. One Democratic senator wasn’t as diplomatic answering the question. This was seeking political one-upmanship, and it’s going to fail, Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-New York, said Wednesday night.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tThe Independent<\/em> d\u00e9crit justement cet \u00e9pisode, ce matin<\/a>, comme une plong\u00e9e de la campagne pr\u00e9sidentielle dans le chaos. Plus encore, le quotidien de Londres estime que le climat se d\u00e9t\u00e9riore aux USA et que m\u00eame le plan Paulson serait en danger de ne pas \u00eatre adopt\u00e9 par le Congr\u00e8s. (Au reste, c’est l’avis de McCain, qui ne cesse de mettre de l’huile sur le feu de cette crise monumentale; on esp\u00e8re que les USA existeront encore au d\u00e9but novembre, pour lui permettre de recueillir le fruit de ses initiatives.) <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abThe race for the White House has been thrown into turmoil by the global financial meltdown when John McCain said last night he was suspending his campaign and returning to Washington to help forge a deal on a financial rescue plan by the weekend. It was a startling, high-risk gambit aimed at making his rival, Barack Obama, look flat-footed. Mr McCain also asked for a postponement of the first presidential debate, which was scheduled for tomorrow evening. It could backfire on him, however, if voters conclude he is afraid of the debate in the middle of an economic crisis.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbMr McCain made the move even as both presidential campaigns were working on a joint statement setting out their broad agreement on terms for the $700bn (\u00a3350bn) bailout of Wall Street now before Congress. Mr McCain indicated his belief, however, that the rescue package might fail in the face of growing opposition.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThe manoeuvre could be awkward for Senator Obama. For now, though, he is having none of it, declaring at a hastily convened news conference that he intended to attend the debate in Oxford, Mississippi, as planned. He said it was more important than ever that voters have the chance to assess both candidates and that anybody aspiring to be US President should be able to do more than one thing at a time.<\/em> []<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbAmid a mood of mounting crisis, President Bush was due to appeal last night for support for his $700bn rescue plan for Wall Street at a time when 55 per cent of Americans oppose spending their tax dollars rescuing failing financial firms. The package was been met with deep scepticism by Democrats and Republicans alike this week. Mr McCain and Mr Obama are under pressure to declare their hands on the details of the rescue package and both are manoeuvring to take political advantage from whatever outcome emerges.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbMr McCain made his surprise statement after speaking at former president Bill Clinton’s Global Initiative meeting in New York yesterday. I am calling on the President to convene a meeting with the leadership from both houses of Congress, including Senator Obama and myself, he declared. It is time for both parties to come together to solve this problem.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tSerions-nous trop optimistes, nous qui pensons, ou pensions que, tout de m\u00eame, malgr\u00e9 tout, le plan Paulson sera(it) adopt\u00e9<\/a>? Avec l’am\u00e9ricanisme, le pire du pire est toujours possible. (Et nous nous contentons du pire) On verra.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tMais les \u00e9v\u00e9nements vont si vite. Bien entendu, la proposition McCain d’un sommet formidable a \u00e9t\u00e9 accept\u00e9e et le pr\u00e9sident Bush, apr\u00e8s un discours cr\u00e9pusculaire<\/a> sur le sort de l’\u00e9conomie am\u00e9ricaniste (\u00abOur entire economy is in danger<\/em>\u00bb), a annonc\u00e9 cette nuit, selon The Times<\/em> du jour<\/a>, qu’il convoquait tout le monde, lui-m\u00eame avec McCain-Obama et les dirigeants du Congr\u00e8s, pour une r\u00e9union d’urgence.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abJohn McCain yesterday sought to seize back the initiative in the presidential race by asking Barack Obama to postpone tomorrow’s televised debate, suspend campaigning and return to Washington for crisis talks on the economy. His dramatic announcement came just hours before President Bush delivered a sombre TV address to the nation warning that our entire economy is in danger unless Congress agreed swiftly to his $700 billion rescue package for stricken financial institutions. The White House last night said that Mr Bush would meet both of the candidates vying to succeed him today, along with Congressional leaders.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tMcCain est, dans cet \u00e9pisode, l’apprenti-sorcier pyromane de service qui a vers\u00e9 de l’huile sur le feu avant de r\u00e9clamer, comme les autres, la lance \u00e0 incendie. Il ne faut pas lui en vouloir, demain ce sera un autre car ainsi le veut le syst\u00e8me. Suivez cette affaire puisque le sort du monde en d\u00e9pend. McCain, lui, suit les sondages car l’on suit ce que l’on peut. Les march\u00e9s suivent tout cela, \u00e0 Wall Street, comme il se doit.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 25 septembre 2008 \u00e0 08H54<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" L’Am\u00e9rique ressemble \u00e0 une maison qui br\u00fble, devant laquelle se chamaille un certain nombre de capitaines des pompiers.
