U.S. election campaign is on the last turn. Everything is possible, either of the two rivals, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney have a chance. The result will be on the edge like that of 2000. Barack Obama’s victories in the last two debates have had a paradoxical effect. Increased percentage of votes in favor of its rival. Initially, probably under the influence of former President Clinton’s strategy was to portray Democrats on Romney as an ultraconservative, with extreme positions on a whole range of issues troubling him on American voter from unemployment policy towards Iran. On his election rallies, President Obama reiterated the theme of trust that Americans have to pay elected officials accusing his Republican opponent a program that would hide behind ads ultraconservative his centrist tint. On the other hand, Republican Romney over Obama’s campaign theme in 2008. “Want real change? Then you will be on November 6th “- was one of the lines of the former governor at a rally in Ohio. Romney a Republican-minded businessman, former governor denied preliminary positions, now professing his belief that growing popularity centrist.
Camapaniei end finds the two tournaments in federal states. Mitt Romney went to Ohio – State will probably key new president – and Barack Obama is touring Florida, Virginia and Ohio with a stop in Chicago where he voted. Why in advance of election day? Is a strategic game that Obama makes. Surveys show that most people who choose to vote are in favor anticipated and acting president wants to remove as many voters to the polls before the day decisive for 6 noiembrie.Cert is that there are two months until the U.S. enters into force a series of tax hikes and spending cuts to curb deficit automated. It seems that the mere sight of the moment is already raging in the U.S. economy slowing economic growth. Report by the National Association of Manufacturers argue that the economic impact would be enormous if Congress does not find a compromise to reduce the budget deficit (the army cuts will be U.S. $ 500 billion over 10 years). Balance is expected apocalyptic: 6 million unemployed in addition leads to aggregate unemployment rate of 12%. In a Pentagon briefing Defense Secretary Leon Panetta warned Congress on four issues have become critical: avoid cutting the funds that will affect both the military and the defense industry by reducing the number of contracts, Pentagon policy and budget approval, approval legislation cyberwar and approval of the appointment of two generals in key positions (namely generals John Allen and Joseph Dunford for two top management positions, the first to be appointed as Supreme Commander of NATO Allied Forces in Europe and the second position of commander of U.S. troops in Afghanistan).
The last debate was expected and focused on U.S. foreign policy. On this occasion, classical themes were discussed: Syria, Egypt, Libya, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, China. It was also debate about Europe? No. Conclusion everyone followed the debate is this: European disappeared from the radar of American foreign policy. It is clear that the center of gravity has shifted to Asia. However the current president enjoys great popularity in Europe. BBC conducted a survey, which referred to the two U.S. presidential candidates, poll conducted in 21 countries. “Obamania” or passion for Obama is visible in most of those countries, France is Western country where Obama has even most supporters. 72 percent of the French have a favorable opinion of Barack Obama on his victory and wish default. Only in Pakistan that survey respondents weigh their preference for Mitt Romney. French Prime Minister, Jean-Marc Ayrault socialist told Radio France Inter: “If I were an American citizen without hesitation I would vote for Obama.” And President François Hollande readily expressed sympathy for Barack Obama. Note that in France there is sympathy for Barack Obama camp not only socialists but also the right wing camp. In March this year, when he was still president, Nicolas Sarkozy said he wanted Obama’s reelection. We must be well understood that U.S. policy towards any country but particularly from countries such as Russia or China is defined by geopolitical factors and less chair occupant of the White House.
Proof is the last televised debate in which presidential candidate Mitt Romney or the approved certain matters or current president refrained from any comment (both approved landing position Hosni Mubarak of Egypt PRESIDE of protesters gathered in Tahrir Square; both consider that Iran should not become a nuclear military power, both are preoccupied by the future stability of Pakistan, both agree to use drones in the war against terrorism, both agree to challenge China in areas where cooperation is not working, both are agree with both support and opposition in Syria expresses concern about a possible arms reaching for the opposition in the hands of fundamentalists). To debate President Barack Obama and Governor Romney had four issues where divergent visions were evident: (1) reducing the military budget by 2.9% of GDP planned by President Obama while Romny wants a reduction of 4% of GDP; (2) Freedom Agenda which clearly suggested that Romney will follow a program promoting democracy neo-Reagan, (3) Russia is main enemy for Mitt Romney, saying he reset relations during Putin administration was naive, Russia needing a flexible but unyielding partner, (4) U.S. foreign aid where Romney said it conditionally be made in accordance with American interests.
How will U.S. policy toward our neighbor Russia under Putin administration is in turn recoveries of spheres of influence (see results of the elections in Georgia)? Deputy National Security Advisor to U.S., Michael Froman said the Russia-US Business Council, held annually that if Obama is elected he will remain Russia boyfriend because this is the line that goes American national interest . Yet recent history has shown us that geopolitical realities marked Russia-US relationship. In 2009 U.S. reset with Russia in an effort to improve these relationships affected by admnistraţiei support George W. Bush to countries in the periphery Russian borders Georgia and Ukraine in their preparation to join NATO. Instead Russia has used energy weapons (gas and oil) and has developed a recovery strtageie of influence in the former satellite states of Eastern Europe and Asia. What results were achieved? The eastward expansion of NATO and the engines slowed and Washington supported joining the World Trade Organization Moscow after a trial that lasted a decade. Russia in turn has provided logistical support for U.S. and NATO operations in Afghanistan. On taking the chair of the White House by Obama entered Europe in crisis recover financially while Russia Georgia. Washington’s decision to reduce the pressure on Russia’s periphery was due to end new geopolitical environment: Arab Spring and military and economic resurgence of China in Asia. Russia is involved in the American interest areas such as Syria, Iran and East Asia.
Coming years but will lead to confrontation between the two powers in areas of common interest and politics Obama, if elected, will adjust with the new geopolitical developments. Mitt Romney’s rhetoric on the relationship with Russia will also adapt to U.S. strategic interests, again depending on geopolitical events in progress at the time. Election had as pivotal American domestic politics and thus a number of foreign policy issues such as Libya, Mexico, the euro area, the relationship Israel-Palestine or Africa were not on the agenda. One thing is certain, immediately after the election they will require a response from the person who will win the election although the first year of a presidential term in the White House is dedicated to national issues. I will conclude with what General Colin Powell said about Obama: President brought us out of war, began withdrawing from War and not put us in any other war. And finally I think the actions they took to protect us from terrorism were very solide.Şi think we should stay on the same linie.Campania U.S. election
