Yes, We Can

On Monday eve, President Barack Obama has been hosted by David Letterman in his "Late Show": those two have been just hilarious.
But President Obama has been even more: he's been sincere, honest with his audience as always is. When he speaks he always seems so proud of what has happened to him; when he speaks he's charismatic, sure, a true leader among his people, always deeply interested in what he's doing. When President Obama speaks he always explain the reasons why of something, he will never say "it's just because I said!" as a parent does with his kids; on Letterman he has talked about his Country people and issues, he didn't faked and he didn't made a political campaign. He always acts like this, he always seems to be a citizen first and the President of the United States then; he always seems to be one of his people (and his people are the ones who trust him), close to and caring for them. He speaks to us about his family or the war in the same way: simply, purely, as a man, not a pretending superhero.
As I said, it's quite usual to see him acting like this, he always does, but it's not granted to be like this all over the world. In Italy is not that right. In Italy every moment, every thing that occurs is a good chance to make propaganda, to attack the other parties. Even when there's a time to club, Italy never does. Even someone's death becomes the opportunity to point finger against someone else, a chance to hide our own mistakes and faults; none, in Italy, ever take responsibility for what is happening. None, in Italy, will ever say: "mistakes were made". In Italy if you want an explanation you'll never get it from a politician.
When I look at President Obama I still see hope and honesty, integrity and the audacity of a dream, of a change as was before his election; I don't see anything of this in "my" political class. And I'm speaking of they all. As World citizen I feel safe thinking Barack Obama to be leader of the Free World; I wouldn't be that safe if he was one of "my" politicians.
Anyway, right yesterday I was writing about Italian Television. Well, not only we don't have Barack Obama as President, we don't have a David Letterman neither, so here we'll never see a show like that of Monday.
But after all, I feel Barack Obama as my real President, and to me that's all that matters.
