However, Barack Obama has enough time to take some decisive steps, firstly, in his own country. It would not hurt to be more careful outside of the United States.
The 44th American President has three years of presidency ahead of him. Although, it is more realistically 18 to 24 months, since the last year of the presidency is traditionally spent on the next election campaign.
If Obama continues to do what he has done in the past year, he will be awarded with the same honors as Mikhail Gorbachev who is respected in the world, but perceived with controversy in his own country. The only difference is that Gorbachev received his Nobel Prize for what he has done, and Obama – for what he will do. This Prize could serve as a certain mark cautioning against repetitions.
