Il faut dire que l’affaire du scandale du gouverneur de l’Illinois Rod Blagojevich est aux petits oignons. Un gouverneur arr\u00eat\u00e9, le gouverneur d\u00e9mocrates de l’Etat de l’Illinois, celui du President-elect<\/em>, n\u00e9gociant aux ench\u00e8res la succession du si\u00e8ge de s\u00e9nateur du m\u00eame President-elect<\/em>. Les enregistrements du gouverneur Rod Blagojevich n\u00e9gociant les ench\u00e8res, saisis par les policiers, sont \u00e9galement aux petits oignons, comme il se doit mais encore plus qu’\u00e0 l’habitude.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t(Le mot de passe F***<\/em> ou f******<\/em>, selon la volubilit\u00e9 constat\u00e9e, qu’on retrouve ci-dessous, signifiant, dans le code puritain de la transcription am\u00e9ricaniste des choses de la vie, le fameux fuck<\/em>, ou fuck you<\/em>, qui semble le signe de ralliement de la conversation habituelle dans le pays des P\u00e8res Fondateurs. Cet \u00e9trange montage typographique qui nous est offert, F***<\/em> ou f******<\/em>, semble une non moins \u00e9trange barri\u00e8re transparente, on dirait comme un clin d’il ironique et paradoxal fait au puritanisme fondamental du domaine, auquel effectivement le conformisme par r\u00e9flexe et empressement sacrifie avec cette typographie. L’emploi extraordinairement constant, syncop\u00e9, presque comme un \u00e9l\u00e9ment du rythme m\u00eame du langage am\u00e9ricaniste postmoderne, nous fait parfois nous demander si fuck<\/em> transform\u00e9 en F***<\/em> ou f******<\/em>, n’est pas plut\u00f4t un signe de ponctuation volubile et postmoderniste apr\u00e8s tout.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abThe Illinois Governor was arrested on Tuesday for what prosecutors called a political corruption crime spree that included putting Mr Obama’s vacated Senate seat up for sale. I’ve got this thing and it’s f****** golden, and, uh, uh, I’m just not giving it up for f****** nothing, he allegedly said in one wiretapped conversation.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbOn the tape recordings, Mr Blagojevich is said to have blasted the incoming president over the choice of new senator, saying that he did not want to give that motherf***** [Obama] his senator. F*** him. For nothing? F*** him, he said. They’re not willing to give me anything except appreciation. F*** them.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tCes extraits viennent d’un article du Times<\/em>, de ce 11 d\u00e9cembre<\/a>, nous annon\u00e7ant que Jackson Jr., le fils du r\u00e9v\u00e9rend Jackson et tr\u00e8s proche d’Obama, pourrait \u00eatre inqui\u00e9t\u00e9, ou dans tous les cas perturb\u00e9. Au-del\u00e0 du cas, le m\u00eame journal, dans un autre article du m\u00eame 11 d\u00e9cembre<\/a>, se demande dans quelle mesure le scandale va ou non toucher le President-elect<\/em>, ou disons ternir son image. A premi\u00e8re vue, il ne semble pas qu’il y ait le moindre lien fautif, mais l’affaire est l’occasion, surtout, de mettre en \u00e9vidence le comportement d’Obama en temps normal.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abIn August 2006, when it was publicly known that Governor Rod Blagojevich and his staff were being investigated for corruption, Barack Obama took the microphone at the Illinois State Fair. We’ve got a governor in Rod Blagojevich who has delivered consistently on behalf of the people of Illinois, he declared to the crowd as he endorsed the Illinois Governor for re-election.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbNow, with the allegations that Mr Blagojevich tried to hawk Mr Obama’s vacant Senate seat to the highest bidder, the scandal and the stench of Chicago politics that the President-elect hoped he had put behind him is raising a slew of uncomfortable questions.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbMr Obama’s endorsement of Mr Blagojevich in 2006 was an example of the way that he operated in Chicago. He rarely bucked or challenged the corrupt status quo in stark contrast to his image as a reformer. His meteoric rise through Chicago politics was based on making strategic alliances with the city’s entrenched, and often ethically challenged, power brokers Mr Blagojevich included then moving on before being tainted by association. Several of these figures he once relied on have since become immersed in corruption scandals.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbMr Obama officially made transparency a central theme of his administration last week, yet he was facing growing calls yesterday to reveal what, if any, contact there had been between his staff and Mr Blagojevich over the efforts of the governor to sell his Senate seat.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbAsked on Tuesday, the President-elect said: I had no contact with the governor or his office so we were not he then corrected himself: I was not aware of what was happening. The switch from we to I suggests he was unsure whether his team may have had contact with the governor.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tIl est vrai que tout cela, dans un premier r\u00e9flexe, vous fait na\u00eetre un go\u00fbt amer, et l’on en vient \u00e0 se demander: et si Obama \u00e9tait comme les autres, et encore meilleur que les autres \u00e0 dissimuler qu’il est comme les autres? C’est une hypoth\u00e8se int\u00e9ressante mais finalement vite r\u00e9gl\u00e9e, dont on peut \u00eatre assur\u00e9 qu’elle est \u00e9videmment rencontr\u00e9e. Obama ne serait pas l\u00e0 o\u00f9 il est s’il n’\u00e9tait pas habile \u00e0 ces jeux, surtout \u00e0 Chicago, r\u00e9put\u00e9 comme un des points les plus rugueux de la pratique de la cruelle et impitoyable politique int\u00e9rieure am\u00e9ricaniste. C’est m\u00eame l\u00e0 une partie non n\u00e9gligeable de l’\u00e9nigme qu’il continue \u00e0 \u00eatre, ce President-elect<\/em>, notamment dans sa capacit\u00e9 d’avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 ce qu’il a \u00e9t\u00e9 et d’\u00eatre aujourd’hui comme s’il \u00e9tait tr\u00e8s diff\u00e9rent. Il est \u00e9vident qu’Obama a pratiqu\u00e9, ou subi c’est selon, cette corruption dans tous les cas intellectuelle qui caract\u00e9rise les jeux politiciens du domaine, et l’affaire F***<\/em> ou f******<\/em> du gouverneur de l’Illinois en est un rappel malheureux mais n\u00e9cessaire, mais un rappel extravagant aussi, en passant, car la pratique de mettre un si\u00e8ge de s\u00e9nateur quasiment aux ench\u00e8res a quelque chose de jubilatoire dans l’outrance, une sorte de caricature de la corruption, qu’on s’attendrait \u00e0 voir figurer plut\u00f4t dans un album des Pieds Nickel\u00e9s. (Notre \u00e9poque postmoderniste, assortie de notre r\u00e9gime d\u00e9mocratique et de nos tr\u00e8s nombreuses vertus qui vont avec, a gard\u00e9 une certaine fra\u00eecheur d’esprit.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tL’\u00e9nigme subsiste, non pas de savoir si Obama est touch\u00e9 par ce scandale ou pas, mais de savoir, si, comment et quand il a chang\u00e9 ou il n’a pas chang\u00e9, si, comment et quand il changera ou ne changera pas. En attendant, le scandale et ce qu’il nous dit de l’\u00e9vidence que nous avons si souvent tendance \u00e0 oublier pour la satisfaction de nos illusions id\u00e9ologiques, contribuent utilement \u00e0 nous rappeler l’existence du monde tr\u00e8s r\u00e9el. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
