Tiré d'un commentaire de Jan Ting qui pose la question: Imaginez-vous Obama prononcer un tel discours?
"“For nearly four years you have had an Administration which instead of twirling its thumbs has rolled up its sleeves. We will keep our sleeves rolled up.
We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace—business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering.
They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.
Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me—and I welcome their hatred.”
Historians and economists can argue all they want over how effective FDR’s various initiatives were in stimulating the economy and creating jobs. But the American people re-elected President Roosevelt not just once, but an unprecedented three times, each time by overwhelming majorities, making him the longest-serving U.S. president.
Americans in hard times want a president who is fighting for them. Whether particular initiatives succeed or fail, get passed or get blocked, get upheld or overturned by the courts, is all less important than having a leader who understands their suffering and who is working every day to make their lives less difficult. They had that in FDR.
Will we see the same understanding and responsiveness in President Obama’s jobs plan to be announced on Thursday?"
