Obama_triunfo

Oppenheimer points out to a first triumph by the just appointed American president. In his judgment, the anti-American demagogic  bunch of South-American rulers viewed themselves forced to acknowledge Obama’s good prospectives out of the popularity  he enjoy in their own countries.

I think that the Miami Herald columnist has made one of his most preposterous arguments and one of the easiest to illustrate with a satiric scene. The logic behind  the article is a piece of cake to set upside-down: if Obama enjoys such popularity levels it’s because his promise to distance himself from the disastrous record of his predecessor. The anti-American stance of these southern presidents, then, was justified and non-demagogic. And their open-mind reception to Obama is a sign of moderation and rationality. Oppenheimer will have to work-out his intelligence to find a better plot for his movies.

 

Oppenheimer apunta a un primer triunfo del recién asumido presidente norteamericano. Según su juicio, el manojo de demagógicos gobernantes sudamericanos se vieron obligados a reconocer las buenas prospectivas de Obama debido a la popularidad de la que éste goza en sus propios países.

Creo que el columnista del Miami Herald ha hecho una de sus más ridículas elucubraciones y una de las más fáciles de ilustrar con una escena satírica. La lógica tras el artículo es muy fácil de revertir: si Obama goza de tanta popularidad es por su promesa de distanciarse del record desastroso de su predecesor. La actitud anti norteamericana de estos presidentes sureños, entonces, estaba justificada y no era demagógica. Y su apertura mental para recibir a Obama es un signo de moderación y racionalidad. Oppenheimer va a tener que ejercitar su inteligencia para encontrar un mejor guión para sus películas.
