Bush Qualifies the Obama Candidature to the Presidency as Historic

The American leader congratulated the senator from Illinois who vanquished Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries.

The President of the United States, George W. Bush, congratulated Barack Obama today for his victory in his race for the Democratic Party presidential candidacy. “President Bush congratulated Senator Obama for having won the presidential candidature of the Democratic Party,” said the White House spokesperson, Dana Perino.

The leader assured knowing first hand the hardship that results from the primary process and qualified the naming of a black candidate to the White House as a “historic win” for the United States.

“The President knows from personal experience how fatiguing the process of presidential nomination is. Senator Obama crossed a huge hurtle to reach this objective. His historical moment also demonstrates the fact that our country has made notable progress”, he remarked.

Bush did not call Obama by telephone. In this respect, the spokesperson reminded that President Bill Clinton did not call Bush either when the ex-governor of Texas won the Republican candidature in the 2000 elections.

Racism

Meanwhile, the political activist and prominent American linguist, Noam Chomsky, prophesied that the Democrats shall obtain a majority in the Senate and in the Congress under the leadership of Obama in the next November 4 elections, but that the Republican John McCain shall win the presidency.

There are two reasons for Chomsky opinion that shall impede, with all probability, the Democratic candidate from being proclaimed the first black president in the history of the United States: the racism that exists in American society, above all in the south of the country and the shortage of scruples of today’s Republicans to disqualify their rivals.

“The Republican Party, whihc has a really fascist slant, counts on a formidable defamation and vilification machine that they still have not started against Obama, but twithout a doubt they shall”, he declared.

Chomsky qualified as “alarming” the surveys that reveal “a high percentage of Democrats affirm that they would not vote for a black candidate.”

“Racism is rooted in a very profound manner” in the United States, he said, indicating that the primary election does not necessarily reflect the popular vote, that besides, on election day only fifty percent of the electorate votes, by which Obama’s victory in the primaries does not guarantee the Democratic vote in a block.
