BHO victorieux et en crise aigue<\/h4>\n

Avant la visite du Premier ministre Cameron au pr\u00e9sident Obama, les journaux britanniques ont beaucoup glos\u00e9 sur la position politique d’Obama. Tr\u00e8s sensibles aux nuances les plus r\u00e9v\u00e9latrices de la situation am\u00e9ricaniste, ils d\u00e9c\u00e8lent ais\u00e9ment l’extraordinaire contraste entre les r\u00e9sultats politiques int\u00e9rieurs assez bons d’Obama et sa position tr\u00e8s inqui\u00e9tante, voire catastrophique face aux \u00e9lections de novembre prochain autant qu’en termes de popularit\u00e9. Cette contradiction est la marque m\u00eame de la crise de la psychologie am\u00e9ricaniste, particuli\u00e8rement \u00e0 Washington, et du chaos qui en r\u00e9sulte.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tNous citons deux quotidiens de tendance diff\u00e9rente. Leurs analyses mettent tous deux en \u00e9vidence cette situation.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t L’Observer<\/em> du 18 juillet 2010<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abWhen Barack Obama was inaugurated in January last year it was amid the fanfare of the country taking the step of electing its first black man to the White House. But since then with the US gripped by profound economic crisis, political tumult and a worsening war in Afghanistan that development has, incredibly, seemed almost reduced to a historical footnote.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbObama has fought battle after battle against a resurgent Republican foe, notching up three key areas of landmark reform, but has gained little from it.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbFirst there was the $862bn economic stimulus package. In the face of the deepest downturn since the Great Depression, Obama managed to pump billions of dollars into the economy in a desperate bid to keep it alive and stave off mass unemployment. He achieved this despite barely a shred of Republican support.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbThen there was healthcare. After a titanic struggle, which almost broke out into riots at political meetings across the US, Obama managed the one thing that has defeated every other president since the second world war: meaningful healthcare reform that provides coverage for tens of millions of Americans.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbThat success was finally followed last week by financial reform as a sweeping set of regulations and changes was introduced to try to prevent a repeat of the financial crisis that brought the US economic system to the brink.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbSo when they chat in the White House, Cameron should, finally, be finding a president at last unbuckling his armour. That would be the theory. The reality is much grimmer. Despite his achievements, Obama’s administration is in the grip of a profound political crisis.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbIn the face of withering Republican attacks which has seen them promising to repeal almost everything Obama has done the Democrats are facing sinking polls and staring disaster in the face in mid-term congressional elections in November. There is little talk of celebrating Obama’s achievements and cementing his authority. Instead, it has become a grim battle for survival, with experts predicting a swath of Republican gains that will give them control of the House of Representatives and could even see them win back the Senate.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t Le Daily Telegraph<\/em> du 17 juillet 2010<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abBuried deep in yet another poll this week cataloguing Barack Obama’s declining popularity in his home country was an intriguing nugget of opinion. Democracy Corps, a Left-leaning research firm, found that 55 per cent of Americans think the world socialist fittingly describes their president.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbBy most received definitions, this is absurd<\/em> []<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbBut if Obama isn’t a socialist, what is he? It is strange to report, but after 19 months of living under his presidency, Americans are still not sure. It is a big part of his problem.<\/em> [] He remains an enigma whom the electorate struggles to get a handle on.<\/em> []<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbWhatever the reasons, the failure to create a narrative of what Obama is trying to achieve has helped generate a sense of a president on the verge of failure, even though his legislative achievements have been considerable.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbIn overhauling health care he succeeded where every other Democratic president has tried and failed. Last week Congress passed sweeping financial regulatory reform designed to avoid a repeat of the 2008 meltdown on Wall Street.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbHe opened his account in early 2009 by forcing the passage of an $862 billion stimulus package that probably saved the country from collapse. The car industry was bailed out, saving hundreds of thousands of jobs.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbYet Obama has been unable to persuade a majority of the public that he has served them well, or that spending in the present will bring prosperity in the future. Even supporters take little comfort from these three landmark accomplishments.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbFrustration that he has been winning in Congress but losing with voters has engendered a backward-looking testiness. If a dollar had been donated to the Federal Reserve every time he or an aide blamed George W Bush for the economy’s woes, the deficit would be in much better shape.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbClearly dismayed by the negative aura around him, the president has pointed out that he has stuck to his guns and delivered on his major campaign promises such as health care and financial reform.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbBut he has failed to acknowledge the powerful headwinds his presidency has encountered. Unemployment refuses to fall. The public is alarmed about spending and its affect on their prospects. The Democrats’ grip on Congress could now be lost in November’s midterm elections.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
