Obama speech: Anti-government era is over

[Editor's note: Van Jones, a CNN contributor, is president and founder 
of Rebuild the Dream, an online platform focusing on policy, economics 
and media. He was President Obama's green jobs adviser in 2009. He is 
also founder of Green for All, a national organization working to build 
a green economy.]
 
(CNN) -- Thirty-two years ago, President Ronald Reagan launched an era 
of anti-government politics with his first inaugural address. On Monday, 
President Barack Obama offered the best rebuttal to date.
Conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer said the speech marked "the 
end of Reaganism," and I couldn't agree more.
Like Reagan, the president sought to ground the national conversation in 
his own definition of patriotism. But instead of the "liberty-only" 
patriotism of Reagan and political descendants such as Paul Ryan, who 
would turn love of country into hate for its government and its people, 
Obama offered a deeper "liberty and justice for all" patriotism.
 
Van Jones
Obama noted that the world has changed -- that global problems cause 
local disasters, and what happens across town affects you and your 
neighbors -- and he called on us all to realize that you cannot have 
liberty for all without justice for all.
Perhaps most fittingly, on a day heavy with memory, the president 
invoked those who once stood on the National Mall to hear a different 
type of founding father -- "a king (who proclaimed) that our individual 
freedom is inextricably bound to the freedom of every soul on Earth."
The overtones of Reagan's 1981 speech rang so loudly, in fact, that it's 
clear the president and his team looked to that address as inspiration.
  How will history judge Obama's speech? Memorable inauguration speeches
Reagan offered up a vision of an over-taxed, long-neglected "We the 
People"; Obama's version of "We the People" is youthful, diverse, 
energetic and engaged.
Both saw their addresses as a call to arms for all Americans. Both 
sought to tie the best traditions of our founding fathers to today's 
challenges. Both insisted that what truly drives America is the 
ingenuity and independence of our people.
But while Reagan advanced the simplistic idea that government and 
liberty are always at odds, Obama's speech reflected the realizations of 
a new century.
Instead of "government is the problem," the president reminded us that 
we could all fall victim to sudden misfortune. Instead of pinning blame 
for every social problem on the size of government, the president 
recognized both individual responsibility and the role of community in 
giving each child the opportunity to succeed.
Like Reagan, the president invoked the names of famous places in 
American history -- but instead of battles, he tied Stonewall in with 
Selma and cemented his declaration that lesbian, gay, bisexual and 
transgender rights are civil rights.
Coming off an election during which today's Reaganites insulted a nation 
of "takers," the president declared that Medicaid, Medicare and Social 
Security "free us to take the risks that make this country great."
This was not a partisan speech. It was not a campaign rally. But it 
showed that Obama will not back away from a fight. He is staking a bet 
that a rising generation has a new vision for the country.
I do not think that following through will be easy, or that the 
president will do everything right. But he showed Monday that he is 
standing on the right side of history.

Ancora un po' di Montinomcs e ce lo chiede l'Europa ed i servizi non 
saranno pi� pubblici.

 
 
Ovvero i privati han bisogno di soldi, se li sono mangiati tutti a puttane.
