Obama bringing down the walls of isolation in Europe

Alan E. Moses
With crowds reminiscent of the days of Kennedy and Reagan Barack Obama has stirred the European American alliance. The people of Europe have long been dismayed with the policies coming out of Washington under the Bush administration. America has been left alone and gone its own way for too long. People from around the world had lost their admiration for our country and ideals. The peoples of Europe had lost their trust in America as the leader of the free world.

In Berlin with a crowd of over 200,000 Germans many waving American flags Obama awoke the once sleeping alliance of American and European people. He now moves onto Paris and London where the response is expected to be the same. The new face of America is what these once valued allies have been waiting for. Inspiration is a much valued tool that allows people to believe in them selves and others. (Played down in American politics by those that lack this ability.) Its importance is shown by the European response.

We were loosing our role as a fighter for the common good. Many in Europe had lost their faith of any type of alliance as the bridges became too far. The divisions are breaking the west apart and causing others throughout the world to seek answers elsewhere. Obama has allowed the world to see that we have not lost our way. If the son of an African goat herder can climb to the top of American politics than hope is still alive and well. The seemingly negative direction the world was heading into can be changed.

The American voter should understand that we can no longer go it alone as we have been attempting to do. We need our old friends and allies from Europe as we take on the challenges that we face today and in the future. After all we share many of the same values and yet we had begun to separate due to outside influences. American tactics, direction and message needs to change. Obama gives hope to all those throughout the world that it will.


The old guard or those who wish this not to come to pass are doing what they can to disrupt this new and desired path. There are reports that Obama was denied access to our injured servicemen in Manheim Germany by the Pentagon. This story will play out and show that the Bush administration is playing its cards. The American voter will believe the claim that these soldiers were not of importance to Sen. Obama. That he is not a man of the people as he wants us to believe. The Elite are trying to continue the claim that he is Elitist knowing that Americans are tired of these very people. It is Politics 101 as you claim the other side is what you really are to confuse and control the minds of the people.

The true Elitist claim that Obama had no Foreign policy background and he quickly dispelled this by showing that he can win the hearts and minds of those throughout the world. The Elitist have been attempting to do this with guns and money for decades. And as we all know failed badly. The world and its people want hope and the message Obama brings is that simple. He´s changing the face of American politics as the walls of isolation are coming down between our European friends and our selves.
