Like probably millions of other people, I used to think of President Obama, before and during his presidency, as a beacon of hope for a better world, which he would help to realise. Yet, as time progresses and his presidency develops, becomes stronger and then wains in its final months, I have found that President Obama has failed to lead America into doing its bit to make the world a better, safer, and securer place for its citizens. Of course, it is the case that President Obama assumed the Presidency at a particularly difficult time, when the global economy was in a parlous state, with the elites and the swindlers on the world's stock markets and financial institutions recklessly brought the world's economy to near collapse. Unemployment was higher than it is today, the financial institutions were near to collapsing and bringing the world's economy down with it, and would have probably done so, had many governments not intervened massively to rescue capitalism.
