Las lecturas de Obama

El pensador

Vamos a ver, ¿dónde habré leído yo eso?

When they spoke for attribution, administration officials played down the notion of a Googling commander in chief. "I don't think time permits him to be surfing all the time," Axelrod said, adding that the president reads "magazines like crazy," including the New Yorker, the Economist, Sports Illustrated and Rolling Stone. "There are some commentators whose views he's interested in, and he'll read blog items."

¿The New Yorker? ¿The Economist? ¿Desde cuándo eligen intelectuales para la Casa Blanca? ¿Qué será lo siguiente? ¿Alguien que lea poesías como Aznar y Zapatero? (risas, por favor)

La revista que aparentemente no lee, Time, entrevista a Obama. Al menos, descubrimos que no ha perdido un punto de lucidez:

On the morning he won the Nobel Peace Prize, Obama met with a nervous group of aides. The award might be a political problem, they said. It might be ridiculed. He hadn't achieved any of his foreign policy goals yet. "It is kind of crazy," Obama acknowledged with a laugh, "but that's not the real problem we're facing here. How do you accept the Nobel Peace Prize when you're the Commander in Chief of a military that is fighting two wars?"

De momento, mientras termina la tormenta, Obama se ha arrancado con unas medidas clintonianas: unos pequeños detalles con la clase media para que luego la prensa no diga que se ha envuelto en la terrible bandera del populismo.

Pues Obama la ha liado parda congelando el presupuesto por tres anhos, salvo para defensa. Justo lo que proponia McCain. Por aqui ya nos estamos subiendo por las paredes.
