With Obama, American 'Communications System' Improves U.S. Image

"The American communication system, one of the largest in existence, was quick to realize that it had to do something substantial and consistent to save the United States, considering the erosion of its image, which began primarily with wars in Afghanistan Iraq and the Middle East."

Barack Obama is to America what Vladimir Putin is to Russia. In the same category, one could place Hugo Chaves of Venezuela, Lula da Silva from Brazil and Nikolas Sarkozy of France. Similarly, they all hold unswervingly to the maxim: the signs command and orient life.

The fundamentals of their techniques for political interactivity and communication make it easy enough to measure the performance of each. From their posture, their way of dress, their ideologies, their vision and their intelligence, it's possible to read into the character of each.

These elements, so simple to our eyes, end up determining the significance of the points of reference. In other words, these elements allow us to uncover the excellence [or lack thereof] of Obama, Putin, Chaves, Lula and Sarkozy.

And our perceptions can be likened to the field of spirituality, where, as though through telepathy, each of us reacts to impulses contained in their messages after being touched at our very core.

On the same token, although these messages have emerged from different places and countries, all have one point in common: a concern with the global political equilibrium at a time when the United States of America is experiencing a series of difficulties.

Domestically, America is passing through one of its greatest-ever financial crisis, and because of this situation will soon be confronted with an economic crisis.

Given its role in the world, America's problems affect markets worldwide. The continents of Europe, Asia and the Americas could come to a standstill as a result of what's happening in the United States.

The American communication system, one of the largest in existence, was quick to realize that it had to do something substantial and consistent to save the United States, considering the erosion of its image, which began primarily with wars in Afghanistan Iraq and the Middle East.

The strategy for recovery had to come from the Democrats, but it couldn't be based solely on words. It was essential to find a face that could incorporate these words and breathe life into a comprehensive program. In this way, the technocrats found in Barack Obama a man of the multitudes.

His entry into the race for the White House was done in a bit of a distracting way, as if nothing phenomenal had come to pass. Above all, he needed the endorsement of the people. But once the population reacted favorably to Obama’s candidacy, support came from all sides and in a spectacular way.

Within days, thousands of dollars, lots of machinery and men - many men - were mobilized. Obama lacked nothing. Everything had been calculated to the smallest detail. His arrival in the White House was only a matter of time.

And once elected president of the United States, the American communication machine had achieved its objectives. Now the message has been repackaged. You can see that America’s image around the world improved significantly since Obama's election. This move is too strong to be challenged anytime soon.

Barack Obama represents values like unity, confidence, stability, progress and achievement. But ultimately, the United States still needs to overcome its difficulties to maintain itself at the head of international politics.

The arguments of the new president have been well-received internationally. Barack Obama promised to establish a basis for negotiating with Iran, his principal objective being to resolve the conflict in the Middle East.

On the horizon are also meetings with the Cuban government in order to confer a new political space to its people in the international arena. As for his most assertive rival, Russia, Obama wants to offer them a new path for a power that wants to affirm itself in the 21st Century, as Obama remarked during one of the debates with John McCain during the election campaign.

Powerful America has everything it needs to continue dictating the direction of international and political concerns. With the election of Barack Obama, the United States confirmed that it has one of the most functional democratic systems in the world, that it puts Blacks once and for all on the same level as Whites, and has determined that there's no superiority in terms of race, but rather in terms of intelligence.

In the times ahead, the world will meet a new international political figure. And, once again, America has put itself in the lead in this regard, which makes it such an exceptional nation. In a word: Powerful.
