Obama é, por aclamação [uma “notável” iniciativa/ proposta de Hillary Clinton ] , o candidato democrata à 44º Presidência dos EUA evoca-se aqui o discurso de Martin Luther King, 34 anos, a 28 de Agosto 1963, na Washington, DC. Pode ler o “exact text of the spoken speech, transcribed from recordings “ em http://www.usconstitution.net/dream.html . Que termina assim: “[…] let freedom ring. And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"
O “essencial” do discurso de Bill Clinton ontem na Convenção: além de realçar o laço de McCain à filosofia extremista do Partido Republicano, BC, evocando a sua experiência política, colocou a mão no fogo por BO, o homem certo para o desempenho do cargo: “I say to you: Barack Obama is ready to lead America and restore American leadership in the world. (…) Barack Obama is ready to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Barack Obama is ready to be president of the United States.”
