Intetho yakhe ephambili kwiNdibano yesiZwe yeDemokhrasi ka-2004 yamzuzela igama njengelinye lezithethi zeli xesha zeDemocratic Party. Kwaye olo dumo luye lwaphakanyiswa ngakumbi ukusukela oko kwaqala iphulo likamongameli, kutsha nje ngenxa yevidiyo yomculo ethandwayo, Ewe Sinako, eyabeka umculo kwintetho ephambili ka-Obama ebusuku eNew Hampshire. Ividiyo, eyenziwe ngumntu omnyama we-Pearl Eyed Peas will.i.am, yakhutshwa ngoFebruwari 2 kwaye yajongwa phantse izihlandlo ezili-10 lezigidi kuYouTube nakwiyeswecansong.com.
U-Liberman, uprofesa weelwimi kwiYunivesithi yasePennsylvania, ucinga ukuba eyona nto ihluke kakhulu kwiintetho zika-Obama ayisiyo ukuhanjiswa, kodwa yingoma ebhaliweyo.
Ungathatha ibinzana elifutshane ngoluhlobo, uthethe naluphi na uhlobo lwendlela okoko ungakhutshelwa ngaphandle, kwaye ucule ngaphezulu kwayo, utshilo. Kukho isixa esithile sokuphindaphinda - umxholo 'Ewe Sinako' - ovumela olu hlobo lokuluka kwemigca yezwi. Kodwa ukuba injalo loo nto, ke into eyinyani yomculo malunga nale ntetho yayingeyiyo eyokuhanjiswa kwayo, kodwa ukwenziwa kwayo. Yabhalwa njengengoma, kodwa ayenziwa njengengoma.
Isazi ngeelwimi uGeoff Nunberg, naye, ubona izinto zeentetho zika-Obama athi ziboleke ingoma.
Wenza ezi zakhiwo zingqameneyo, utshilo uNunberg, umphandi kwiziko leYunivesithi yaseStanford lokuFunda uLwimi kunye neNkcukacha. Umzekelo, uthi, 'Kungenxa yale nto, ayibangelwa yile nto.'
Ngomhla kaJan. 20 INew York Times Ibali, umbhali wentloko ka-Obama, uJon Favreau oneminyaka engama-26, wathi xa ebhala iintetho zika-Obama, ufumana inkuthazo kuJohn Kennedy, uKumkani noRobert F. Kennedy, ecebisa ukuba, kwakhona, ukuba igama lika-Obama njengegcisa lentetho lityala elinetyala elikhulu kwisenzo esilula sokuboleka izixhobo kwizithethi zasesidlangalaleni zexesha elidlulileyo.
Kodwa uNunberg uthe kukho okungakumbi kunokubhalwa.
Ufundele ikhadadi ethile esebenzayo kakhulu, utshilo uNunberg. Ujika ngasekunene enze inqaku lakhe lokuqala ngokunyuka, emva koko ajike ngasekhohlo ngokuwa ukuze avale.
UNunberg uthe ezi ndibano ziyafana nezo zikaGqirha King.
Nangona intshukumo inceda ukubamba ingqalelo yabaphulaphuli, intshukumo enkulu, utshilo uNunberg, inokubonisa ukungabikho kolawulo. U-Obama, utshilo, ukwazile ukulinganisa izinto ezinje ngo Kennedy.
Xa u-Obama ethetha, u-Nunberg uthe, iingalo zakhe ziyahamba, kodwa imeko yakhe yomzimba ayitshintshi. Kwakhona, akazivumeli iingalo zakhe ukuba zikude kakhulu emzimbeni wakhe kwaye ugcina izandla zakhe zivaliwe, endaweni yokuba zivulwe. Upholile kakhulu ngohlobo lokuba uKennedy upholile, utshilo uNunberg. Isimbo sakhe kunye nokuma kwakhe kulawulwa.
Olunye ukufana u-Obama anako noKennedy luluhlu lwe-pitch olunomda, olwenza ukuba adlulise uthando ngaphandle kokubonisa, utshilo uNunberg.
U-Hillary Clinton, kwelinye icala, uyayinyusa indawo yakhe ebonakalayo xa wayezama ukufumana impendulo kwisihlwele sakhe. Ukoyisa intloko yakhe kwaye unendlela yamehlo akhe okuphawula uhlobo lwesikhuzo, ucacisile uNunberg.
Kodwa, wongeze, uClinton ungcono kakhulu kuseto oluncinci, njengeengxoxo, apho abaviwa beziphucula khona. Uya ngqo kwimpendulo, ngelixa u-Obama ehlala eqala izivakalisi zakhe ngendlela enye, kwaye azibuyise ngolwakhiwo olwahlukileyo.
UNunberg ucebise ukuba uninzi lolonwabo u-Obama akwazi ukulenza kwindibano ezinkulu zinento yokwenza nabavoti abazimase iminyhadala yakhe benombono wokuba uzokuzisa uchulumanco.
Ukuba uza nombono okanye ithemba lokutshata, okanye inani elaneleyo labantu liza nethemba lokutshata, uyabandakanyeka, utshilo.
U-Liberman uthe, Akukho mbumbulu yesilivere. Andiqondi ukuba impendulo yinto engenamsebenzi njengokwakhiwa kwesivakalisi, imvakalozwi, olo hlobo lwezinto. Awunakutsho ukuba uhlengahlengise isitayile sakhe uya kuphumelela.
Ndinqwenela ukuba ndingatsho ngenye indlela, kuba emva koko ndingangena kushishino njengomcebisi ngezopolitiko.
