The Perils for Latin Americans of Obama's 'Fear-Inspired' Re-Election (Opera Mundi, Brazil)

"From a Brazilian point of view, this new phase begins with certainty that nothing (good) can be expected of Obama's second coming. A comparison of the agendas of Brasilia and Washington show a predominance of conflict points ... The U.S. will continue to sabotage regional integration in South America - a priority of both Presidents Lula and Dilma - by means of bilateral agreements and drawing a line across the Pacific. New military bases will be built and attempts will be made, wherever feasible, to remove progressive governments from power, either through support for right-wing political forces or coup d'état."

The first Black president of a racist nation, Barack Obama came to the White House four years ago amid a sea of positive expectations, both nationally and internationally. For his first term, people had faith in his commitment to the welfare of ordinary citizens and more peaceful stance on the global scene. What a bitter illusion. Obama bowed to the interests of Wall Street at the expense of millions of his fellow citizens who impacted by the financial crisis, and he maintained a truculent foreign policy that was almost identical to that of his predecessor.

What led Obama to victory this time was not hope, but fear inspired by his far-right rival - a carrier of delusional ideas. Now there is no turning back. The empire will continue its slow decline, punctuated only by military aggressions in outlying countries.
