Barack Obama: certains s'ennuient déjà...

La présidence Obama ne prendra fin qu'en janvier 2017, mais David Brooks New York Times regrette déjà le départ du premier noir à la Maison Blanche... S'il ne partage pas l'ensemble de ses décisions, il lui reconnaît cependant plusieurs qualités et place son intégrité au premier rang.

 "People are motivated to make wise choices more by hope and opportunity than by fear, cynicism, hatred and despair. Unlike many current candidates, Obama has not appealed to those passions.

No, Obama has not been temperamentally perfect. Too often he’s been disdainful, aloof, resentful and insular. But there is a tone of ugliness creeping across the world, as democracies retreat, as tribalism mounts, as suspiciousness and authoritarianism take center stage.

Obama radiates an ethos of integrity, humanity, good manners and elegance that I’m beginning to miss, and that I suspect we will all miss a bit, regardless of who replaces him."
