página 25

Barack Hussein Obama II é um advogado e político dos Estados Unidos, o 44.º e atual presidente daquele país, sendo o primeiro afro-americano a ocupar o cargo. Nascido em Honolulu, no Havaí, Obama é graduado em Ciências Políticas pela Universidade Columbia, tendo cursado posteriormente Direito na Universidade de Harvard, onde foi presidente da Harvard Law Review. Também atuou como líder comunitário e como advogado na defesa de direitos civis e ensinou direito constitucional na escola de direito da Universidade de Chicago entre 1992 a 2004. Ele representou por três mandatos o 13.º distrito de Illinois no senado estadual, entre 1994 a 2004, tentando eleger-se, sem sucesso, ao Congresso dos Estados Unidos em 2000.

Em 2004, após vencer a primária democrata da eleição para o Senado em Illinois, ele foi convidado para fazer um discurso na Convenção Nacional Democrata daquele ano, e, com isso recebeu atenção nacional da mídia. Em novembro, foi eleito Senador com 70% dos votos. Obama começou sua campanha para a presidência em 2007 e em 2008, depois de uma apertada disputa nas primárias do partido com a também senadora Hillary Clinton, conseguiu apoio suficiente para ganhar a nomeação do Partido Democrata para a presidência dos Estados Unidos. Ele derrotou o candidato republicano John McCain na eleição presidencial de 2008, tendo sido empossado como presidente em 20 de janeiro de 2009. Nove meses depois, ganhou o Nobel da Paz.

Durante seu primeiro mandato, Obama assinou várias propostas de estimulo econômico em resposta a Grande Recessão que assolou os Estados Unidos entre 2007 e 2009, através dos projetos de lei American Recovery and Reinvestment Act de 2009. Também sancionou leis de corte de impostos para a classe média e de criação de empregos em 2010. Outras importantes iniciativas nacionais durante seu primeiro mandato incluem a Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, projeto este que passou a ser chamado de Obamacare; o Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; o Don't ask, don't tell; o Budget Control Act of 2011; e o American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. Na política externa, Obama ordenou o fim do envolvimento americano na Guerra do Iraque; aumentou a quantidade de tropas americanas no Afeganistão; assinou tratados de controle de armas com a Rússia; autorizou uma intervenção armada na Guerra Civil Líbia; e ordenou uma operação militar no Paquistão que resultou na morte de Osama bin Laden.

Obama foi reeleito presidente em novembro de 2012, derrotando o republicano Mitt Romney, e foi empossado para um segundo mandato em 20 de janeiro de 2013. Durante seu segundo mandato, Obama promoveu políticas internas relacionadas com o controle de armas, em resposta ao Tiroteio na escola primária de Sandy Hook e outros massacres, e também defendeu a igualdade LGBT. Na âmbito externo, para conter a ameaça do grupo Estado Islâmico na região do Oriente Médio, ele ordenou a volta de tropas militares ao Iraque e também autorizou ataques aéreos e navais contra a Síria para combater as organizações jihadistas locais. Além disso, continuou o plano de encerramento das operações de combate americanas no Afeganistão. Também iniciou o processo de normalização das relações entre Cuba e Estados Unidos, e firmou um acordo nuclear com o Irã.

“Meus pais não compartilharam só um amor improvável, eles compartilharam uma fé nas possibilidades desta nação. Eles me deram um nome africano, Barack, ou bendito, acreditando que numa América tolerante seu nome não é nenhuma barreira ao êxito. Imaginaram-me indo às melhores escolas na terra, mesmo eles não sendo ricos, porque numa América generosa você não tem que ser rico para alcançar seu potencial.”

Convenção Nacional Democrata de 2004

“Esta noite, nos reunimos para afirmar a imensidade da nossa nação — não por causa da altura de nossos arranha-céus, nem pelo poder de nosso exército, nem pelo tamanho de nossa economia. Nosso orgulho é baseado numa premissa muito simples, resumida numa declaração feita há duzentos anos: "Seguramos estas verdades são auto-evidentes, que todos homens são criados semelhantes, e que a eles são concedidos por seu Criador certos direitos inalienáveis, entre estes estão a vida, liberdade e a busca da felicidade."”

Barack Obama

Isso é o gênio verdadeiro de América — uma fé em sonhos simples, uma insistência em milagres pequenos."

Que podemos participar no processo político sem temor de recompensa, e que nossos votos serão contados, ao menos na maioria das vezes.”

“Quarenta e quatro americanos, até hoje, prestaram o juramento presidencial. Suas palavras foram ditas durante a maré ascendente da prosperidade e nas águas calmas da paz. Mas frequentemente o juramento é prestado em meio a nuvens crescentes e tempestades ruidosas. Nestes momentos a América foi em frente não apenas graças ao talento e à visão daqueles no poder, mas porque nós, o povo, permanecemos fiéis aos ideais de nossos antecessores e aos nossos documentos fundadores. Foi assim e deve ser assim com esta geração de americanos.”

2016, Convention (August 2016)

“To all of you who served in Afghanistan, you can take enormous pride in the progress you helped achieve: Driving al Qaeda out of its camps. Toppling the Taliban. Delivering justice to Osama bin Laden. Helping Afghans improve their lives. There are millions of boys and girls in school, and democratic elections and a democratic government. Training Afghan forces to take responsibility for their own security so that we are no longer engaged in a major ground war in Afghanistan. That is your legacy. And today we salute our forces serving there on a more limited mission -- supporting Afghan forces, going after terrorists -- because we must never allow Afghanistan to be used as a safe haven for terrorists to attack our nation again.”

2011, Remarks on the economy (July 2011)

“In many ways, fear is the force that stands between human beings and their dreams. Fear of conflict and the weapons of war. Fear of a future that is different from the past. Fear of changes that are reordering our societies and economy. Fear of people who look different, or come from a different place, or worship in a different way. In some of her darkest moments, when Aung San Suu Kyi was imprisoned, she wrote an essay about freedom from fear. She said fear of losing corrupts those who wield it -- “Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it, and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it.” That's the fear that you can leave behind. We see that chance in leaders who are beginning to understand that power comes from appealing to people’s hopes, not people's fears.”

“Now, women hold a majority of lower-wage jobs, but they're not the only ones stifled by stagnant wages. Americans understand that some people will earn more money than others, and we don't resent those who, by virtue of their efforts, achieve incredible success. That's what America's all about. But Americans overwhelmingly agree that no one who works full-time should ever have to raise a family in poverty.”

2016, Convention (August 2016)

“I was a little puzzled by the frenzy that I set off by what I thought was a pretty innocuous statement, which is that I am absolutely committed to ending the war. I'm not trying to dump on you guys, but I'm surprised at how finely calibrated every single word was measured. I wasn't saying anything that I hadn't said before, that I didn't say a year ago, or when I was a U. S. senator. If you look at our position, it's been very consistent. The notion that we have to get out carefully has been a consistent position. … I think what's happened is that the McCain campaign primed the pump with the press to suggest that somehow we were changing our policy when we hadn't and that just hasn't been the case. I've given no indication of a change in policy … I think John McCain's going to have a much harder time explaining how he is willing to perpetuate a presence in Iraq for 10, 20, 50 years.”

Obama response to attack from McCain and his campaign on alleged Obama reversal on Iraq War; (5 July 2008) http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/07/06/campaign.wrap/index.html
2008

“I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you. It belongs to you.
I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn't start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington. It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause.
It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep.
It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not perished from the Earth.
This is your victory.
And I know you didn't do this just to win an election. And I know you didn't do it for me.
You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime — two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.
Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.”

2008, Election victory speech (November 2008)

“In some ways, though, the securing of civil rights, voting rights, the eradication of legalized discrimination -- the very significance of these victories may have obscured a second goal of the March. For the men and women who gathered 50 years ago were not there in search of some abstract ideal. They were there seeking jobs as well as justice, not just the absence of oppression but the presence of economic opportunity. For what does it profit a man, Dr. King would ask, to sit at an integrated lunch counter if he can’t afford the meal? This idea -- that one’s liberty is linked to one’s livelihood; that the pursuit of happiness requires the dignity of work, the skills to find work, decent pay, some measure of material security -- this idea was not new. Lincoln himself understood the Declaration of Independence in such terms -- as a promise that in due time, “the weights should be lifted from the shoulders of all men, and that all should have an equal chance.””

2016, State of the Union address (January 2016)

“How does America find its way in this new, global economy? What will our place in history be? Like so much of the American story, once again, we face a choice. Once again, there are those who believe that there isn’t much we can do about this as a nation. That the best idea is to give everyone one big refund on their government—divvy it up by individual portions, in the form of tax breaks, hand it out, and encourage everyone to use their share to go buy their own health care, their own retirement plan, their own child care, their own education, and so on. In Washington, they call this the Ownership Society. But in our past there has been another term for it—Social Darwinism—every man or woman for him or herself. It’s a tempting idea, because it doesn’t require much thought or ingenuity. It allows us to say that those whose health care or tuition may rise faster than they can afford—tough luck. It allows us to say to the Maytag workers who have lost their job—life isn’t fair. It let’s us say to the child who was born into poverty—pull yourself up by your bootstraps. And it is especially tempting because each of us believes we will always be the winner in life’s lottery, that we’re the one who will be the next Donald Trump, or at least we won’t be the chump who Donald Trump says: “You’re fired!” But there is a problem. It won’t work. It ignores our history. It ignores the fact that it’s been government research and investment that made the railways possible and the internet possible. It’s been the creation of a massive middle class, through decent wages and benefits and public schools that allowed us all to prosper. Our economic dependence depended on individual initiative. It depended on a belief in the free market; but it has also depended on our sense of mutual regard for each other, the idea that everybody has a stake in the country, that we’re all in it together and everybody’s got a shot at opportunity. That’s what’s produced our unrivaled political stability.”

“For us, for our children, Africa and its people teach us a powerful lesson -- that we must uphold the inherent dignity of every human being. Dignity -- that basic idea that by virtue of our common humanity, no matter where we come from, or what we look like, we are all born equal, touched by the grace of God. Every person has worth. Every person matters. Every person deserves to be treated with decency and respect. Throughout much of history, mankind did not see this. Dignity was seen as a virtue reserved to those of rank and privilege, kings and elders. It took a revolution of the spirit, over many centuries, to open our eyes to the dignity of every person. And around the world, generations have struggled to put this idea into practice in laws and in institutions.”

“We cannot afford to be a country of isolationists right now. 9/11 showed us that try as we might to ignore the rest of the world, our enemies will no longer ignore us. And so we need to maintain a strong foreign policy, relentless in pursuing our enemies and hopeful in promoting our values around the world. But to guard against isolationist sentiments in this country, we must change conditions in Iraq and the policy that has characterized our time there – a policy based on blind hope and ideology instead of fact and reality.
Americans called for this more serious policy a few Tuesdays ago. It’s time that we listen to their concerns and win back their trust. I spoke here a year ago and delivered a message about Iraq that was similar to the one I did today. I refuse to accept the possibility that I will have to come back a year from now and say the same thing. There have been too many speeches. There have been too many excuses. There have been too many flag-draped coffins, and there have been too many heartbroken families. The time for waiting in Iraq is over. It is time to change our policy. It is time to give Iraqis their country back. And it is time to refocus America’s efforts on the wider struggle yet to be won.”

“I know these are difficult times. I know folks are worried. But I also know that now is not the time for fear or panic. Now is the time for resolve and steady leadership. Because I know we can steer ourselves out of this crisis. This is a nation that has faced down war and depression; great challenges and great threats. We have seen always that mountaintop from the deepest valley. We have always risen to the moment when the moment was hard – and we can do it again. We can restore confidence in our economy and renew that fundamental belief – that here in America, our destiny is not written for us, but by us.”

So we have a choice. We can shape our future, or let events shape it for us. And if we want to succeed, we can't fall back on the stale debates and old divides that won't move us forward.”
