then because he knew as a consensus builder

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. "Made in his speech of March 4, 1933, Franklin d. Roosevelt formula can appear today obsolete and incantatory. Yet it is a great news. Because the smile of Barack Obama this incredible smile kept of the Hawaiian Islands at the gates of the White House we necessarily refers to the father of the "New Deal". Even if the lend the United States decided président serment sur l' exemplaire de la Bible d' Abraham Lincoln President oath on the copy of the Bible of Abraham Lincoln on January 20. The first 100 days of Obama will necessarily have nothing to do with those of Roosevelt. But rarely investitures climates have been also comparable. A major question remains whether today Barack Obama governs firefighter or true reformer.

How can you display such a smile when it inherits an invoice of 10.350(5) billion, excavated by eight years of administration Bush, as noted by Joseph Stiglitz in "The 10 trillion dollars hangover", published in "Harper's" magazine (January 2009), of an unprecedented financial crisis, an auto industry failed and consumption falling The answer lies in two words: the courage and fighting spirit. But everything seems to indicate that Obama is not missing.

The limit, the magnitude of the crisis could be more, in his eyes, an opportunity than a disability. First, because he was very careful to make the inventory of the balance of the Bush years. then, because he knew as a consensus builder. Unlike Roosevelt, whose passage of relay with Herbert Hoover was laborious, Barack Obama opted for an "active transition" by naming his team without delay. Of course, the future administration account number of defectors from the "era Clinton", including Larry Summers, Paul Volcker, Rahm Emmanuel or... Hillary Clinton, not to mention the maintenance of Robert Gates to the defence. Some commentators are not deprived of mock on a "clique of ghosts". But Barack Obama a beautiful game to explain that it does not rely on beginners in times of crisis and he claims for himself the pulse and the responsibility of "change".

During this transition, the President-elect said that it will up to its program or his beliefs. Just revise its schedule. The promise is much easier to take, say, that apart from the draft of a "green New Deal" focused on renewable energy and its cuts taxes for 95 of active households, the Democratic candidate program remained relatively vague. It is more on the wave of anxiety generated by the financial crisis on the real content of promises that elected Barack Obama. But the severity of the crisis inevitably condemned to a policy of rupture. Some in the left wing of the Democratic Party worry that Barack Obama can govern in "Blair centrist." Others, such as the columnist of "newsweek", Robert j. Samuelson, urge it do not seek to "too too fast". Before entering body lost in a race to the "bold reforms", it would be better first restoring confidence in relying on some form of consensus, insists the editorial, calling the concept of creating "green" investments net of jobs "mirage". Pragmatic and prudent, Barack Obama is well kept far encrypt its "stimulus plan" in the infrastructure. Just is committed to "create or save" 2.5 to 3 million jobs in two years. Virtually a sum game zero when considering some 2 million jobs already destroyed in 2008. Like Franklin Roosevelt denounced "the greed of a selfish generation", he simply encourage bankers on Wall Street for moderation and patterns of the "big three" to give up their bonuses and their private jets. Throughout the transition, Barack Obama to well kept thundering declarations on the risk of bankruptcy of General Motors, makers of the collapse of Wall Street or the troublemakers "Madoff scandal". This is not his style. Barack Obama is a firefighter or a stretcher bearer. It is a Rebuilder ahead of its time. "I am confident in the fact that it will limit the case in 2009 and that it can begin to see an economic upturn in 2010," says carefully Barack Obama to "Time", just do the "personality of the year". It also recalls that with voluntarism, the Sweden took two years to get out of the rut, there where it took ten years to the Japan. Caution does not mean necessarily pusillanimous. So far, the choice of the elements of his team, whether it be Timothy Geithner at Treasury, Hillary Clinton to the Secretariat of State or the Nobel Prize in physics 1997, Steven Chu, energy, shows that he clearly made paramount jurisdiction over allegiance.

He promises no miracle, but a new method of Government based on the expertise and transparency. The smile of Obama says more think on its ability to restore confidence.
