The unfulfilled expectations and the results of Obama's eight years
It is both understandable and hard: the position of Barack Obama in the history books will be measured according to the bar of; excessive; expectations which created the election, one night in November 2008, the United States and beyond.
The Nobel Peace Prize, which was awarded shortly after his arrival in the White House, illustrates the paradox. The first black president of the United States was compensated a priori, where many "giants of history," according to his words, were compensated for "the works".
Always with the same smile but with whitewashed temples and face weakened after eight years in power, will leave on January 20 in the oval office with a popularity that reaches its peak, similar to that enjoyed during the same period Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton.
What will stay with his retirement, after two terms of government's largest global power that the president with a unique path, whose father was Kenyan?
While the report may say that surpassed an economic crisis of unprecedented severity, that marked a break with the military adventures of the Bush years and that he attained real diplomatic victories, culminating dossier of Iran's nuclear program.
But the prudence of; the passivity such as evidenced by the critics; against the Syrian chaos, with hundreds of thousands of deaths and millions of refugees, casts a shadow in the years of the "number of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue."
Cruel irony for the one extolled by the undeniable charisma, a united America: left behind, against his will, a country with deep divisions.
Political divisions of course, with two blocks, the Republicans and the Democrats, no longer know how to converse, resulting in deadlocks-caricatures in Congress, that prevent the functioning of democratic institutions.
Racial divisions also emerging on the surface with unsuspected ferocity. Careful not to appear in any case as president of black Barack Obama was perhaps not paradoxically and despite the hopes that had been bestowed on him the African American community, the better to rock the boat on this issue.
