Dentro de Estados Unidos, significa ver a los ojos la profunda realidad del racismo y apostarle a la renovaci\u00f3n del Partido Dem\u00f3crata. Porque la ca\u00edda del clan Clinton es tambi\u00e9n la del ala del partido que intent\u00f3, desde la Presidencia de Bill, competir con los republicanos tir\u00e1ndose a la derecha, es decir, intentando parecerse cada vez m\u00e1s a estos. Es el posible regreso de la centro-izquierda gringa que Bush y la derecha evang\u00e9lica cre\u00edan haber derrotado para siempre.<br \/>\nPero el cambio m\u00e1s dr\u00e1stico puede ser hacia fuera de Estados Unidos. Ante el desastre del unilateralismo envalentonado de Bush (ese que nos trajo la guerra enga\u00f1osa de Iraq, Abu Ghraib y Guant\u00e1namo), Obama promete el regreso al sentido com\u00fan del multilateralismo y la diplomacia, comenzando por el retiro de las tropas de Iraq. &#8232;&#8232;Como lo dijo Thomas Friedmann en su columna del New York Times, es posible que \u201cla nominaci\u00f3n de Obama\u2026 haya hecho m\u00e1s para mejorar la imagen internacional de Estados Unidos\u2026 que todo el trabajo diplom\u00e1tico de Bush durante los \u00faltimos siete a\u00f1os\u201d. De ah\u00ed la Obamaman\u00eda que se ha despertado alrededor del mundo. &#8232;&#8232;En \u00c1frica y Medio Oriente, el color de la piel, el nombre (Barak Hussein) o la herencia musulmana por v\u00eda paterna de Obama tienen a todos haci\u00e9ndole barra. En Europa no ven la hora de que se vaya Bush y llegue alguien que represente la \u201cesperanza de su pa\u00eds y la paz en el mundo\u201d, como lo dijo el Alcalde de Par\u00eds. Alguien que renueve la vieja imagen amable de Estados Unidos como tierra de oportunidades abiertas. Y en Am\u00e9rica Latina le hacemos fuerza a cualquiera que nos devuelva la fe en la competencia democr\u00e1tica y haga el esfuerzo de escuchar. &#8232;&#8232;En Colombia, el Gobierno le estar\u00e1 apostando a McCain y a la continuaci\u00f3n de la alianza con la l\u00ednea dura de Bush. Pero muchos otros preferir\u00edamos la l\u00ednea m\u00e1s moderada de Obama, que al menos promete tratados comerciales y ayuda internacional m\u00e1s balanceados. Y que puede hacer que las pol\u00edticas para las comunidades afrocolombianas sean de largo plazo, y no una estrategia temporal para asegurar los votos de los congresistas negros en Estados Unidos a favor del TLC.  &#8232;&#8232;Ese ser\u00e1 el tono mundial de aqu\u00ed a las elecciones de noviembre, cuando Obama debe cobrarle a McCain la recesi\u00f3n econ\u00f3mica y la impopularidad sin precedentes de  Bush. &#8232;&#8232;Lo que venga despu\u00e9s, si llega a la Presidencia, est\u00e1 por verse. Es posible que la Obamaman\u00eda, como todos los delirios, sea un disparate. Como lo escribi\u00f3 el editor de la revista alemana Die Zeit, \u201cuna ilusi\u00f3n \u00f3ptica puede estar influyendo nuestro estado de \u00e1nimo: la imagen ilusoria y reconfortante de que el verdadero problema no es Estados Unidos sino George W. Bush. Y que ahora que se va el \u2018vaquero\u2019 y llega el \u2018Cambio y la Esperanza\u2019, todos podemos volver a querer a Estados Unidos\u201d. &#8232;&#8232;Yo prefiero pensar con el deseo, volver a creer en la pol\u00edtica y hacerle fuerza a Obama. Por lo menos hasta noviembre. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;All World change, the song says.
