Luther King's Dream is a reality
Main editorial in center-right O Estado de S. Paulo (1-21) notes
that: "....Since yesterday, it is quite likely that white and black
children [begin to] look at each other as never before in the 233
paradoxical years of the American republic, where the incandescent
light of freedom has coexisted with the endless night of slavery,
discrimination and prejudice. But also with opportunities without
parallel in history or geography that transforms the existence of
countless millions of Americans and foreigners, white and black, men
and women."
Economic Crisis imposes itself on Barack Obama's agenda
Main editorial in business-oriented Valor Econtmico (1-21) states:
"....There is no room for improvisation when facing the present
economic debacle and Obama's team seems in part to be a repeat of
Bill Clinton's administration. Only a fool would not see the risks
involved in working with a cabinet like this, but the new president,
which will have a centralizing style, prefers to hear the best
opinions and not have unanimity in making his decisions. The
obvious threat of this model is the dispute for power in broad
daylight of his cabinet and the possibility that the strong
personalities that advise the president superimpose themselves over
the cabinet itself, amplifying disputes undermining the regular
functioning of the government....With the right moves and the high
degree of confidence in him, Obama may tame the crisis, even if it
takes time."
Favreaus's inauguration; now, Obama
