Obama is a modern and smart leader

Is Obama Socialist? I do not believe it. I think that Mr. Obama is a modern and smart citizen with a solid preparation. The main characteristic of the modern leaders is the capacity to accept and manage new realities.
The fear to the change is something normal in all the societies. Moreover, there are people and groups of pressure that reject the change. Those groups normally defend their own interests.
Usually the interests of those groups are in contradiction with the general interest of the societies. The insurance business is one of the most important in the financial field. They are one of the first sources of liquid resources in the economies. The insurance companies fiercely defend their part worldwide.
The mission of the politicians is to conciliate the interest of the people but thinking first in the interest of the majority.
I believe that Mr. Obama is thinking in the best interests of the American people. I decided to write this article because I saw in TV his meeting with the citizens in a school of Colorado the past Saturday August 15. And I had the impression that he has the reason in regard to the changes in the health care system.
When President Franklyn D. Roosevelt began to develop his New Deal Plan some people thought that Roosevelt was implanting a Socialist program. But that was not true. Roosevelt was only struggling with the great deficiencies created by some avaricious interests that provoked the Great Depression of the thirty years.
Mr. Obama is advancing in a new road that might be very positive for the US.
