What remains of the Audacity of Hope ?
Obama has not done anything bold, nor has it introduced the change envisaged in the election campaign. Perhaps, fought in the intentions, the contract is soon to logics of power.
We'll never know.
We know, and reveals him to himself in the pages of his books, that delving into the rich on Wall Street has affected to the point of becoming like them, "I know that, in consequence of my fundraising, I became more like the wealthy donors I met, in the very specific sense that I spent more time in the scrum away from the world of urgent hunger, disappointment, fear, irrationality, and often privations of the remaining 99 percent of the population - that is to help people which are entered into public life. "These lines sound like a form of justification to the efforts of balancing that for years has had to make.
From the political tightrope poised between the interests of the people and the interests of the lobbies, the voices of the city become "a distant echo rather than a tangible reality": here is the point of no return when a man gets on the hands down to terms with the political and financial power.
The catabasis obamiana is the origin of his fall.
Here is where the favors that are owed to those who helped you to reach the summit are the most pressing of "voices" of voters.
Here is where illusion becomes a promise, an illusion lies.
The road winds through the power of high finance meetings and living rooms: Obama at the bottom, although it has tried to represent fully the icon of the American dream of self-made man, the son of "a shepherd of sheep," has been a white mother and a comfortable life.
