Being elected for second term, history will judge President Obama achievements in the next four years
It seemed to be clear that without the hard work of the young American generations around the President and the trust that many gave him to see the outcomes of his work in the last four years in the next four years, Obama would not have made it to the White House.
Many challenges are waiting for President Obama starting from choosing the secretaries of treasury and state, to facing the economical obstacles within the U.S and foreign policy applied in the Iranian issue and the Palestinian cause.
The President will have to choose wisely his secretaries while making sure to cooperate with leaders from both the democratic and the republicans to make sure that the economy develops in a way or another. Such an achievement within the U.S would give him a chance to act wisely and quietly when talking about foreign policy. The President was elected in the first and second times for his promises of change and using democratic and diplomatic options as a priority when talking about the U.S strategies around the world.
The Iranian issue would be the most important in the eyes of the American leadership. Now there is a very good chance to sit and think about a diplomatic solution that would put an end to the obsession that the world has been living lately about whether a war would be started in the Middle East or not. Iranian president Ahmadi Najad made a statement on the second day after President Obama won the elections stating that Iran does not need nuclear weapons. The Iranian president also stated that he is ready to sit and talk with the American president about peace in the world. Such a statement sends a clear message that the Iranian leadership is willing to cooperate diplomatically with the International community and any diplomatic achievement would end the siege that is affecting the Iranian people and also prevent a war that will destroy the Middle East. President Obama will have to go through this real exam that will show how much he believes in the liberal and democratic values that brought him twice to the White House.
The Palestinian cause would be the most important issue in the eyes of the Arab world and those who believe in the importance of justice and democratic values. In his first term, President Obama did not make a real achievement that pushes towards ending the Israeli occupation and the establishment of a Palestinian state. Many thought when he was elected that the democratic values and norms which he talked about would be applied. Many believed that the words which the President said at the UN about seeing a Palestinian independent state at 2011 would become a reality. But on the contrary, the Israeli current leadership which is becoming more extreme every day continued to build settlements, to occupy the Palestinian lands and destroy the Palestinian economy and the most important to invest in making the two states solution an impossible one. The Palestinian cause is not only a Palestinian one but an Arab and Islamic that affects the whole Middle East. Without reaching a solution and preventing the Israeli rightist leadership from applying its projects of maintaining the Palestinian people under occupation and turning the idea of a Palestinian state into an illusion, no peace or stability can be achieved in the Middle East.
President Obama would face challenges and it is natural to face this when trying to apply justice and democratic values by ending the suffering of a people that is under occupation since a long time and by preventing a war with Iran that can bring a lot of destruction and loss. Such achievements demand boldness and true belief in justice and democracy. History will judge and strategies that would be chosen will show whether eventually democracy and liberalism would win or fear and use of power would control the destiny of nations.
