Divination instead of "overload"

Even when a wave of euphoria did not subside, which was marked by Barack Obama’s victory at first over Hillary Clinton in the struggle for the nomination for the presidential post from the Democrats, then over John McCain, sober voices began to warn that the enormous popularity of Barack Obama could become a trap. A moment when it becomes clear that the United States was still headed by an ordinary person, and not a superhero from comics, capable of solving all problems facing the United States, will be a starting point for turning it from the icon into Zhupel.

Clinton clan against the Kennedy clan

Already during the election campaign, the “Candidate of Hope” laid out several mines of a slow action under his presidency. First of all, the candidate of the “upstart”, which enjoyed the reputation of the “left-wing Senator of the United States” was clearly afraid that it was this reputation that he would not allow him to occupy an oval office in the White House. Therefore, taking advantage of the support of the left (and to a certain extent of the Libertarian) wing of the Netroots and the Kennedy clan, a kind of Oldoliberals within the Democratic Party, Obama chose to agree on the division of power with the main system clan of the Democrats, the Clinton clan - neoliberals , whose representatives occupied the vast majority of posts in his administration. However, the Union with the Neoliberal clan Larry Summers and, accordingly, Wall Street, Obama seriously undermined his Renoma of a wrestler with the Washington bureaucracy and the emergency of elites.

Staroliberals remained dissatisfied, who claimed, if not for power, then the influence, but also such prominent left economists as Joseph Stiglitz or James Galbrait, who did not receive anything when dividing the portfolios. Meanwhile, this personnel pragmatism has already played a bad joke with the US president - nominees from the Clinton clan have not yet look like people who are ready to change the cartridge, and their loyalty to the head of state in a crisis situation seems quite doubtful - it will be quite difficult to rely on them Obama.

The fact of cooperation with the old-Belibarals-Klintonites resulted in not only the personnel decisions-the new president of the United States continued the financial policy of his predecessor to save Wall Street. Moreover, when the republican minority in the Congress went against the republican administration then and tried to fail the “Salvation Plan” of the Minister of Finance Henry Polson, it was the Democrats who achieved his passage and provided themselves with the support of the financial oligarchy. Having become the president, Obama invited the neoliberals to the government - the same people who performed economic policy under Clinton, which could not but cause the democratic party and numerous left -wing public associations from the left wing. As the American leftist historian Howard Zinn stated on this occasion, the Coalition of Changes began to break up. The rating of the popularity of Barack Obama is falling, his supporters began to slowly lose their former enthusiasm, because so far no special changes that were promised Obama are not noticeable . ”

Obama's activity caused a logical revitalization in the camp of the Republican Party, especially in a conservative camp, whose death was read all last year. The greatest activity is still shown by supporters of Libertarian ideology, organizing protest “tea parties” (in honor of the “Boston tea party”, which laid the foundation for the American revolution) against the Obama government.

The central plot of their protest is the financial policy of Barack Obama to support Wall Street. The last large -scale “tea party” - the Washington march of taxpayers - collected about 80 thousand people and is the largest protest against the administration of the current president of the United States. It is not entirely true to put an equal sign between this movement and the Republicans, but many prominent conservatives and neoconservatives play a prominent role in it: former vice president Richard Chaini, former speaker of the House of Representatives Newt Gingerich, well-known conservative Rush Limbo and Glenn Bek. According to the prominent neo -conservator Ruela Gerecht, “ it is the opposition to Obama to the Republicans to the Republicans that the party is still far from the internal unity of the party.

"Coalition" against "consensus"

In America, they love the Presidents-Summarians and are afraid of the presidents-racers who, who, with their radical acts or sharp words, undermine the carefully supported "two-party consensus." Sometimes it seems that the not one or the temporary guest of the White House has real power in the United States, but this is the most mysterious consensus.

This consensus was not always the same. From the time of Roosevelt and up to the era of Carter -Ragan, Consensus was generally liberal (in the American sense of the word): the state under power any of the parties increased its presence in the economy, and also expanded the sphere of civil and social rights. After Reagan, everything changed - Consensus acquired conservative features. The onset of the social state has ceased, the regulation of financial transactions has decreased, the increase in taxes began to be perceived as an extreme and almost criminal measure, American leaders were now forbidden to show signs of attention to enemies and opponents.

Obama tried to jump out of this “consensus”, and due to the active mobilization of the left flank of the Democratic Party, to defeat the recent favorite of the liberals - Hillary Clinton. But only in order to immediately conclude a new agreement on a truce, preserving in his team at key posts not only Hillary, but also the favorite of the Bush-Sr. Robert Gates clan. And nevertheless, as soon as he began to take the first independent steps, the power of “consensus” and the comparative weakness of the “coalition of changes” immediately became clear.

The “conservative consensus” is united in his hatred of the “pink” Obama, the “coalition of change” of split and clearly has more complaints than good feelings for his own leader. “Consensus” is outraged by the award of Obama Nobel Prize of the World, the “Coalition of Changes” is clearly embarrassed by the same circumstance. “Consensus” is indignant about Obama’s conciliation gestures addressed to (as they are now listed through a comma) “Putin, Chavez, Ahmadinejad”, his adherents obviously take Obama “weakly” in connection with his intention to resolve the Afghan conflict. The left flank of the “Coalition” believes that its leader in foreign policy swayed too much towards the right -wing democrats and the Bushists, without having to close the base in Guantanamo and without implementing the pressure on Israel in the issue of staggering settlements in the Palestinian territories.

"Reag" from "overload"

In a situation of rallying “enemies” and the endless fluctuations of Obama's “friends”, of course, begins to make mistakes. With the mouth of his assistants, he more and more irritates about the conservative television company Fox News, which conducts a continuous attack on the president, his administration declares all critics “racists” with the mouth of Jimmy Carter. The last accusation is not so unfounded, the social innovations of Obama hit the white homeowners of America primarily. However, it is obvious that the political reason for proposals for the reform of medical insurance was by no means the desire to please with color unemployed, but the desire to at least somehow designate its location to the left wing of his own party, which began to treat the leader who returned the Larry Summers to manage the American economy.

Obama is in many ways a product of a very specific situation in American politics. On the crest of public dissatisfaction, he was able to break through to power, however, he raised him to the top of the success “Coalition of Changes” instantly crackled as soon as the moment of operational response to the challenges that the economic crisis brought with him came. Still, it is difficult to hold unions and financial collapses Wall Street, white workers and representatives of sexual minorities in one camp. Consensus, on the contrary, demonstrated exposure, cohesion and considerable mobilization opportunities.

For Russia, this only means that the American “reboot” in Russian means “respite” from the new attack of the omnipotent “consensus”: in other words, from the onset of NATO, from financial infusions into the pro -American opposition, from heating the new Europe, from the stimulation of anti -Russian sentiments along the entire arc from the Caspian to the Barents of the Sea. But three years of “respite” is not so little.
