Obama et le printemps arabe: pas assez (David Gergen, CNN)
Les réactions se multiplient suite au discours d'Obama. J'aime généralement les commentaires de Gergen sur CNN. Je vous laisse d'autres liens dans le bas.
"n the president's speech on Thursday, there were two surprises that could shape its impact for a long time to come.
First, he broke away from the orthodoxy that normally accompanies "big" presidential addresses. Typically, a president begins by painting a broad context for his subject, including historical background, and then puts forward a set of principles that will guide his policies in the field.
This President Obama did masterfully. He recalled in a few short paragraphs why we find ourselves at a pivotal moment in the Middle East and North Africa and then proposed principles for action that placed the United States firmly on the side of freedom, democracy and economic development in that region of the world. Drawing as he does upon the Declaration of Independence, he once again provided oratorical brilliance.
But what normally follows in a "big" presidential address is a transition sentence that says, in effect: Therefore, I am announcing today that the United States will undertake the following three major policy steps. Unfortunately, this speech never delivered on what Winston Churchill liked to call "action this day."
