YES, HE COULD (again)


People from the USA, the country where dreams come true, decided last night that Barack Obama should continue leading the most influential country of the world because for most of them he still represents the famous American dream.

Both candidates, the Democrat and the Republican, Obama and Romny, have starred one of the most exhausting battles for the Presidency ever and Ohio, Colorado, Florida and many other states seemed to be the key to open the door of the White House. Finally, and after hours of nervousness, the Republican Romny appeared in a press conference to congratulate his rival for his victory. Obama immediately collapsed the social nets and his first speech as a new reelected president opened all the news programmes all over the world.



Obama’s first term has been characterized by a period of lights and shades. The expectations put on him four years ago were great and so have been the disappointments of some people after these years. The world economical crisis, the international conflicts in which USA have been involved, the advances in social programmes and even a Nobel Prize have sent the American President directly to the opening places of international media. Like one of those American rock stars, Obama has been both loved and hated equally.

Obama has a new challenge in front of him, the challenge of governing a country which is losing part of its splendor and taking it to the place where its citizens are used to seeing it. Europe, the emerging South American and Asian states, and almost all countries in the world will not overlook his decisions. Good luck Mr. President.
