This is just a beginning… by Barbora Misakova

After successful presidential election someone could think, the hardest times are already behind us. But it’s not truth. Every elected president has after elections even more work to do than before them. Except moving to White house there is one more thing to do – select those who will be working with you. Every new leader must chose his “knights” who will fight side-by-side with him for one thing – order in their homeland. And this process is not easy neither quick. Few names were already known: Hilary Clinton will be Secretary of State, Tom Daschle will be Secretary of Health and Human Services, Janet Napolitano may be the nominee for Homeland Security. Secretary of the Treasury will be most likely Tim Geithner. And the latest mentioned name was name of New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, which was Obama’s nominee for commerce secretary.

Richardson, 61, had spent 14 years in White House and under President Bill Clinton he served as U.N. ambassador. Richardson as the international negotiator was successful in many cases and as said David Goldwyn, national security deputy at the U.N. in the late 1990s, his success stems from lot of aspects of his personality. His persuading skills are more than praiseworthy – for example he spent four hours at the table when he tried to persuade President Laurent Kabila to let a U.N. team investigate massacres in Congo. As Goldwyn said, Richardson “is all about crashing through boundaries” and even people can think he is undisciplined; the truth is that he is only relentless. Richardson was also in Democratic presidential run, but he dropped out in January. Either we agree with Obama’s nominees or not, all we should realize now is that this is just the beginning…

Last few days of near-normalcy for Barack Obama by Martina Janeckova

Barack Obama seems to be enjoying his last few days of near-normalcy. After winning the presidency on Nov. 4, Obama has tried to spend more time with family than while campaigning for nearly two years. Nowadays he wakes up in his own bed, goes to the gym, returns to his house in Hyde Park to shower and change, and goes to the office, where he spends several hours before returning home. The future president and first lady still go to their favorite Italian restaurant, Spiaggia. Obama plans a family vacation in Hawaii, as usual, over the Christmas holiday. Last week he was seen dropping his daughters Malia and Sasha at school. But on Halloween he got angry when journalists captured him walking down a Chicago street with Sasha in costume. Inevitably, Obama's normal life is vanishing. He travels in a motorcade, surrounded by Secret Service agents, enters and exits buildings under heavy protection. He is not coming to his favorite Hyde Park Hair Salon & Barber Shop anymore and now the barber comes to the home of one of Obama's friends. Even such things as picking a puppy for his daughters play out before cameras and are discussed at a news conference. Obama said in a recent phone conversation overheard by reporters on his plane that he was not going to spend too much time in Washington over the next several weeks. But on Jan. 20 he will become president and move his family into the White House, where almost nothing will be the same and for next four years his life will certainly not be his own.

Pretsedatelskite izbori završija i znaeme deka pobednikot e Barak Obama. Na 20ti januari toj ke go započne svojot pretsedatelski termin. Do ovaa data Dzordz Buš ostanuva pretsedatel. Vo ponedelnikot Obama ja poseti Belata Kuka i zboruvaše so Dzordz Buš vo ovalnata prostorija. Toa beše negovata prva poseta na negovata kancelarija. Koga Buš pobedi na izborite vo 2000ta godina toj beše vo druga situacija zatoa što negoviot tatko beše isto taka pretsedatel. Taka Dzordz Buš veke gi znaeše prostoriite vo Belata Kuka. Nitu Buš, nitu Obama ne dadoa izjava za reporterite, no se očekuva deka tie diskutirale za aktuelnite problemi, kako finansiskata kriza, vojnata vo Irak ili vojnata vo Afganistan. Dzordz Buš go pokani Barak Obama vo Belata Kuka zaedno so negovata sopruga Mišel Obama. Na nivniot prv sostanok mažite se pozdravija so race dodeka ženite silno se pregrnaa. Potoa poziraa za fotografite. Soprugata na Obama zboruvaše so prvata dama Lora Buš vo rezidencijata vo Belata Kuka. Lora i gi pokaža prostoriite za živeenje vo Belata Kuka, vklučuvajki gi spalnite koristeni od decata na poranešniot pretsedatel. Mišeli Barak imaat dve kerki - Saša (7 godini) i Malia (10 godini). Ovie dve ke bidat prvite deca vo Belata Kuka posle 1993 godina koga Bil Klinton se preseli vo Belata Kuka so negovata 12 godišna kerka Čelzi. Buš kako republikanec go poddrža MekKein, no koga Obama pobedi toj izjavi deka negovata pobeda e triumf za amerikancite. Buš veti deka toj ke sorabotuva so Obama. I dobro e toa što samo posle šest dena od izborite tie ne pokažaa politički konflikti ili megusebno kritikuvanje.

Chris Cantell Discusses Politics: Obama a visité la Maison Blanche by kristina leskova

Les élections présidentielles ont fini et nous savons que le gagnant est Barrack Obama. Le 20 janvier il commencera son délai présidentiel. Jusqu'à cette date George Bush reste en tant que président réel. Lundi Obama a visité la Maison Blanche et a parlé avec George Bush dans le Bureau ovale. C'était sa première visite dans ce Bureau. Quand Bush a gagné les élections en 2000 il était dans un autre situation, parce que son père était un président, aussi. Ainsi George Bush a déjà connu les salles dans la Maison Blanche. Ni Bush ni Obama n'a parlé aux journalistes, mais on s'attend à ce qu'ils aient discuté des problèmes réels, comme la crise financière, la guerre en Irak ou la guerre en Afghanistan. George Bush a invité à la Maison Blanche Obama avec son épouse Michelle Obama. Lors de leur première réunion les hommes se sont tenus les mains et ont brièvement embrassé les femmes. Alors ils ont posé pour des photographies. L'épouse d'Obama a parlé avec la première dame Laura Bush dans la résidence de la Maison Blanche. Laura a montré à Michelle l'espace habitable, y compris les chambres à coucher utilisées par les enfants d'ancien président. Michelle et Barrack ont deux filles - Sasha (7 années) et Malia (10 années). Ces deux seront les premiers enfants dans la Maison Blanche depuis l'année 1993 où Bill Clinton est entré dans la Maison Blanche avec sa fille Chelsea de 12 ans. Bush en tant que républicain a soutenu McCain, mais quand Obama a gagné il a dit que la victoire d'Obama est un triomphe pour les Américains. Bush a promis qu'il collaborera avec Obama. Et il est bon que seulement pendant six jours après les élections, elles n'ont pas montré des conflits politiques ou la critique mutuelle.

Chris Cantell Discusses Politics: Qui est Emanuel Rahm ? by kristina leskova

Rahm Emanuel est un homme de 47 ans et il fait partie du congrès. C'est un politicien américain qui a été le membre démocratique de la Chambre des représentants depuis 2003. Maintenant où les Etats-Unis ont choisi Barrack Obama comme le nouveau président (son délais présidentiel commence à partir du 20 janvier de l'année suivante) Emanuel Rahm sera peut-être le chef du personnel de la Maison Blanche. Il a l'instinct politique, il est très bien expérimenté et il a une le comportement de gars dure et c'est pourquoi Barrack Obama veut collaborer avec lui. Il a travaillé comme conseiller pour Bill Clinton et ici il montrait ses qualifications quand il a aidé à garder la campagne de Bill Clinton pendant des jours durs. Mais sa carrière a commencé avant Clinton, il a travaillé pour Paul Simon en 1984 et pour Richard Dale en 1989 (Richard a voulu devenir le maire de Chicago). En 1999 il est parti de la Maison Blanche et a commencé à travailler dans des opérations bancaires d'investissement. Le voici où il a gagné des millions de dollars qui lui ont donné l'occasion de revenir dans la politique. Maintenant il doit choisir s'il veut continuer dans sa carrière ou il veut passer son temps avec sa famille. Pendant sa carrière il a traité des impôts, du commerce, de la sécurité sociale et des questions médicales. Il a reçu un diplôme de l'Université de Sarah Lawrence en 1981 et a reçu le diplôme de Master de la parole et la communication de l'Université du Nord-Ouest en 1985. En raison de son attitude stricte il a gagné un surnom « Rambo », ce qui signifie qu'il est un homme assidu. Et voilà de ce que Barrack Obama a besoin quand il veut réaliser les buts qu'il a promis aux Américains.

Chris Cantell Discusses Politics: Y el ganador es … by Barbora Misakova

Hace mucho calor. El 4 de noviembre va a ser probablemente el día más memorable de la historia moderna de los EE.UU.. Durante mucho tiempo podíamos oír y leer mucho no sólo sobre Barack Obama y John McCain, sino también sobre otros candidatos presidenciales. Nos hemos enterado de sus pasados, sus orígenes, su edad, familia, sus estudios y su carreras políticas; hemos leído mucho sobre sus capacidades de ser el presidente, sobre sus objetivos políticos, sociales, económicos etcétera. De todos modos siempre había algo para hablar. Cuándo Obama y McCain tenían suerte para hacerse dos líderes principales en esta elección presidencial, entonces la lucha mayor ha comenzado! Observábamos con el gran entusiasmo como las elecciones primarias iban, pensando en el candidato apropiado para el nuevo presidente. Yo apostaría que había mucha gente que pensaba en argumentos pro y contra sin saber quien sería el mejor. ¡Pero la mayoría de los votantes sabían claramente a quién van a votar!

Los resultados muestran que Barack Obama tiene una verdadera posibilidad de hacerse el 56 presidente de los Estados Unidos de América. Pero francamente dicho, no estoy tan segura. Si yo exprese mis sentimientos, si yo fuera la americana votaría a Barack Obama. Pero incluso si podría votar, trataría de quedarme sobrio - en el sentido político. Yo no esperaría que todas las promesas de Obama se realizarán - él es también solamente un hombre. ¡Y ser presidente (de cualquier país!) es primero de todo el deber grande y la responsabilidad grande por el país entero y por cada persona que vive allí. Cuando miro toda esa maquinaria alrededor de Barack Obama y su esposa, esto me recuerda intento de encontrar una pareja perfecta. Para encontrar al hombre perfecto - el presidente, que es educado y bastanta experienciado para manejar el país, bastante guapo para representarnos en el mundo, y con buen carácter. La esposa perfecta - la primera dama debería ser primero de todo la esposa y la madre buena. Debería ser representativa pero también tranquila cuando su marido habla. No quiero criticarlo, porque pienso que la gente en el mundo entero siempre busca la perfección. Espero que no estén decepcionados.

Obama invingatorul by Claudia Sonea

Ce mai noapte! Noaptea de ieri a fost coplesitoare pentru multi dintre locuitorii SUA care au fost dornici sa afle cine va fi cel de-al patrulea presedinte. Surpriza, surpriza, Barack Hussein Obama II va fi urmatorul la Casa Alba! Isi va respecta el promisiunile facute sau se va dovedi a fi doar o alta dezamagire? Nimeni nu poate da un raspuns acum, doar timpul poate spune.
Cand au trebuit sa aleaga pe viitorul papa toate lumea isi musca unghiile in timp ce se lua decizia deoarece predictiile lui Nostradamus prevesteau unul ce culoare. Dar daca de fapt liderul cel puternic era de fapt presedintele celei mai puternice tari? Obama este oficial primul presedinte africo-american, acum toti ochii fiind pe el si urmatoare actiuni, iar asteptarile sunt mari. In principal toti soldatii din prima linie din Irac si Afganistan asteapta cu nerabdare sa vada care este urmatoarea miscare. Dupa cum bine stiti pana acum, el a fost impotriva trimiterii trupelor in Irac cu mult inainte de a candida la presedentie, dar in timpul campaniei sale a promis sa aduca soldatii inapoi in urmatoarele 16 luni de la alegerea sa. Totusi a mai mentionat ca va trimite forte armate in zonele unde violenta continua sa creasca.
Soldatii au votat de asemenea si desi au refuzat sa-si faca publica preferinta, credinta generala este ca cei tineri erau Obama. Eu cred ca de fapt toti doreau sa se intoarca acasa si sa uite teribila experienta pe care au trait-o. Doar azi ce a avut loc o un atac cu bombe. Asadar cu ochii pe presedinte.

Chris Cantell Discusses Politics: Ram Emanuel: Glaven i odgovoren za kadarot vo Belata Kuka? by Magdalena Rosova

Kampanjata na Barak Obama se približi do Republikata Ilinois. Ram Emanuel e možen kandidat za glaven i odgovoren za kadarot vo Belata Kuka.

Objavata beše napravena otkako republikanecot Dzon MekKein se fokusiraše na prašanjata od dzepnata knigička. MekKein so golemi zborovi izjavi "mora da ja izvadime ovaa ekonomija od dupkata."

Demokratite koi go imenuvaa Ram Emanuel kako možen kandidat, sakaat da ostanat anonimni. Oficijalnite pretstavnici odbija da dadat informacii velejki deka tie ne sakaat da imenuvaat nikogo kako kandidat za rabotnoto mesto koe ne postoi i tie rado bi se fokusirale na izborite.

Emanuel e veteran od Belata Kuka vo vremeto na Bil Klinton. Po negovite izboti vo Kongresot toj postigna mnogu uspesi. Pred dve godini toj beše pretsedavač na komitetot na Demokratskata kampanja, toj stana poznat kako dobar politički strateg.

Nitu Obama, nitu MekKein imaat oficijalno napraveno nekoi rabotni ponudi.

Se čini deka sé pokažuva deka Obama ke ja izgubi trkata, što se odnesuva na rezultatite od anketite i rasporedot na kampanjite na kandidatite.

I dvajcata kandidati se obiduvaat da se vratat kon svoite prvi glasači. Obama gi poseti najtradicionalnite republikanski državi koga letaše vo Florida, Virdzinija i Misuri. Turata na MekKein dojde vo Ohajo, kade site izveštai ja pokažuvaa prednosta na Obama.

Demokratite se obiduvaat da ja osvojat Belata Kuka, imaat mnozinstvo vo Kongresot, da ja sredat ekonomijata i da ja završat vojnata vo Irak.

Obama go napadna MekKein velejki deka osum godišnoto partnerstvo pomegu MekKein i Buš gi natera potrošuvačite da platat visoka cena za istoto. Kampanjata na Obama smisli nova reklama, pokažuvajki gi Buš i MekKein vo retrovizorot od avtomobil, so glas koj veli "Poglednete pozadi vas. Ne možeme da si dozvolime poveke da ni se slučuva istoto."

MekKein go vozvrati udarot velejki deka Obama glasal za zakonot koj dal "bilioni na korporaciite za nafta." MekKein glasaše protiv istiot.
