President Obama’s Second Term: Domestic and Foreign Challenges

This report introduces the difficulties President Obama will face in his second term in both the national and international spheres. If domestic political consensus can be reached whereby every American contributes fairly to maintain a just and fair society, then the economic fears will fade into the horizon. If firm principles are adhered to and steadfastly implemented in foreign policy, then on the whole, a stable world will be on the cards. Should these two hypotheses remain just that –hypotheses– then the world at large, including the United States, is in for a turbulent ride.
