Barack Obama's victory in 2008 would give a moral blow to the Latin American radical leftism

Some people are worried because they believe that if Barack Obama wins the presidency of the United States, will not be as critical as McCain against the abuses of the Latin American radical leftism.

But if we see it from a different point of view, perhaps Barack Obama also represents advantages for those who are opposed to the communist project that Hugo Chavez and his imitators want for Latin America.

We believe this because Barack Hussein Obama II is not a neoconservative. By contrast, Obama is a critic of the hard-line Republican, so it cannot be accused of defending the oil companies, or be a spokesman of the United States major corporations.

In addition, Barack Obama has an Arab name and is African-American -his father was Kenyan- something that will prevent him from being linked to the Anglo-American elite.

And finally, Barack Obama has always been a critic of the George Bush style of government. Especially the lack of diplomatic achievements and the way Bush conducted the war in Iraq.

Characteristics that make Obama, a man who represents everything opposite of what the Latin American left say about the United States.

As a result, if Barack Obama becomes the next U.S. president, the leftist Latinos will receive a great surprise in finding that, although Obama is not a neoconservative, he will oppose, in a different way, to the authoritarian governments and to the antidemocratic proposal of the Latin American radical left.

An opposition that will be very detrimental to Hugo Chavez and his imitators, since it would mean for the Socialists being criticized by someone, that in spite of racism and not being the flagship of the United States dominant groups, knew how to succeed with intelligence and democratic ideas.
