Yes We Can: Barack Obama Becomes the 44th American President


Yes we can.  Or can we?  This week it’s a brand new day with the inauguration of President Barack Obama.  As expectations go, this is a big one.  Can Barack Obama deliver exactly what the American people want and need?

It will be quite a contrast.  Barack Obama, the first African American President will take the oath of office with President George Bush in the background.  For many Americans he represents hope.  In fact for many around the world he offers the same thing.  I cannot remember an American President coming into office with such high expectations.

Clearly, these expectations are probably too high.  I recently traveled abroad and was struck by the interest in Obama.  At the Dubai airport I struck up a conversation with an American gentlemen who was so pleased.  He told me on election night, he was hoping that “Americans would do the right thing.”  He said after Obama had been called elected, he could hear people yelling out the windows within his New York neighbourhood exhorting in celebration.

It’s hard to say what this really means.  George Bush has given Obama one heck of a mess to deal with.  He’s got Iraq, Afghanistan and the whole economic mess on his hands, none of which was his doing.  As George Bush said recently, he did what his economic advisors told him because if he didn’t we might have something worse than the great depression.  Obama missed out on pulling those economic levers.  However, next week he’ll be at the helm of the seemingly sinking economic ship.

How this will all play out of course nobody knows.  We are getting whiffs like the closing of Gitmo, maybe a new direction in American health care, maybe Obama coming to Canada.  Hillary Clinton will surely cut a wide swath as Secretary of State.  All of this sounds so different than what we are used to.  However, the economic malady we’re going through is taking the edge off some of this new hope.

George Bush’s exit interviews were interesting.  I’ve always been somewhat of a George Bush booster.  I’m sure some of you feel your temperature rising after that statement but stay with me.  In his exit interview he talked about his mistakes regarding the weapons of mass destruction, Gitmo, the economic meltdown and Iraq.  9/11 surely defined him in his early term.  Put Obama in his place in 2000 and we could only imagine what he would have done.

I recently had a sit down chat with my friend and East West co-author Dr. A.K. Enamul Haque of United International University in Dhaka Bangladesh.  I mentioned to him that we might see a different American foreign policy now.  He shot back that he doubted it.  He said it’s unlikely, because it’s very hard for big countries to change so quickly.  Take the US, the UK, France, Russia, China, India etc, they all don’t change much, but when they do it seems the whole world knows it.

Limiting Obama’s reach shouldn’t become a growth industry.  Yes, big countries take a little while to makes changes, but Obama has a track record of taking on big challenges and winning.  Beating Hillary Clinton was huge.  When you consider she had all the advantages going in and the Democratic establishment behind her, Barack Obama didn’t have much of a chance.  At least that’s the way I looked at it.  When he beat here fair and square, completely out foxing her at her own game, he showed me a lot.

Needless to say, that was one thing but there was something else which swayed me.  Obama’s oratory, charisma and coolness under pressure did him well.  He may have flinched, but I didn’t see it and the world was watching.  The idea of an African American as President is revolutionary for our American friends.  There are many who are watching and waiting and I’m sure there are many who are not very happy.

However, on election night Barack Obama said that he was reaching out to those Americans “who didn’t vote for me.”  That’s the mark of a smart politician, realizing that not everybody is supporting him and that he must earn their trust.  However, its great being a “smart politician” but that doesn’t necessarily translate into being a great leader.  Obama’s seeming fascination with Lincoln might be his admission of that.  Lincoln seemingly had everything coming undone and still managed to lead.  Obama must take that next step too.
