that his rhetoric and his actions toward political reform
coincide with his political intelligence, which often
includes a measure of convenience. In July 2008, the
article by the American magazine The New Yorker,
written by political journalist Ryan Lizza, stated: "Obama
is campaigning to reform a fractured political process,
but he has always played the policy by following the
existing rules. , and not as I would like them to exist »
