The first man of the world is… BARACK OBAMA

Last days, the most attention was concentrated on United States, actually on the candidates Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.  On Tuesday, November 6, 2012, forty-fifth president of the United States was elected.  As might be assumed, Obama won this election with 303 electoral votes, while Romney had 206. The great battle is done!

During the last few months, people in Obama’s campaign did a great job. It was tough process to secure another mandate for the first black American elected president. In the last week of presidential elections, person who was the most active was former American president-Bill Clinton. Regardless the fact that he was totally against Obama’s campaign in the 2008, this year he was the most important actor that represented Obama’s believes. This is not the only tie between these two men; they are the last two democrats re-elected at this position.

It seems that Obama did not attract white men Americans to vote for him, but women, minorities, and young voters saw a huge potential in the old-new elected President. That was enough to beat Republican candidate Mitt Romney. It is quite easy to say now that Romney wasn’t so strong rival against Obama, but after the first presidential debate it seemed that there is a potential for him. Luckily, President woke up in the last two rounds and knocked out him in the fields of foreign and security policy, but also attract attention of the voters by emphasizing the stands about women rights to decide about their selves alone without leaving a room for state to intervene in the sphere of right on abortion. Romney was mostly playing on the card of economy policies and called upon Romney-Ryan ticket showing their stands about budget policy. But, that wasn’t enough because president Obama convince the voters that Romney still is not able to cope with challenges that could be put in front of him during the mandate of four years, if he would be elected. Thank God, Americans recognized Obama as more representative and responsible person to lead it in the next mandate. It is important to state that the voters decided in the favor of the Obama, regardless the situation in economy and the unemployment rate that is almost 8%.

First thing that stays in front of new President is the problem of legalizing Marijuana in Colorado and Washington. The question is how this law is going to be implemented because THC is still illegal at the state level laws. These two states would be exceptions for this American rule. Another issue is creation of new jobs and lowering the unemployment rate.  Good luck with that!
                It seems that the sun is again up in America. New opportunities are again in front of the leaders of one of the crucial players in international scene. We hope that the decisions that are going to be taken in next four years will have positive outcome for America because that is going to affect the whole world; America is still the main policymaker around the globe. At the end, economic growth in this part of the world will have good consequences for smaller and developing states. Break a leg, Obama!
