What does the re-election of President Barack Obama mean for me and the world?


In recent weeks we were following the U.S. elections, the dispute was between Mitt Romney (Republican) and Barack Obama (Democrat). Barack Obama was re-elected and for me it was the best decision that American citizens made, because the further development of some projects and new ideas that Obama presented are the best direction that the United States can take, compared to Romney.
We all know the power of influence that the U.S. has about the world, they interfere socially, culturally, politically and especially economically. Taking this and some facts that occurred lately in consideration, as the stock market crash and how it affected many countries besides the United States, and economic options that Obama offers support to the people and businesses can significantly improve the American economy, and also the world economy.
When Obama took office, the United States were in a tricky situation, especially economically, and as much as the process has been slow, Barack Obama has done a good job and took the united states out of a very complicated situation. Some years ago, when the country was in crisis and other countries began to develop economically, as China, Obama had to make some decisions that did not please everyone, but still contributed to them to leave the situation they were. Another complicated decision that the president made was with regard to the difficulties in the Middle East and how to remove America from a dangerous conflict. Withdraw troops from Afghanistan and try to minimize terrorists attitudes and armed conflict was a very important goal during the first four years of Obama in power.
Besides these aspects, Barack Obama is also an achievement for black people, such that after so many years of suffering and struggling for recognition and have the same opportunities as everyone else has, now they/we have the opportunity to see Obama in prestige and power.
As a person and citizen, I support Obama primarily because he is a Democrat, because with him in power, blacks, immigrants, women and homosexuals will be able to have more opportunities than if Mitt Romney won the election. Bringing issues like abortion, marriage and adoption for  homosexuals couples, job opportunities for immigrants and equality between men and women in all aspects must be taken into consideration and carefully. According to the discussions, it is clear that Obama will take care of these situations with much more care and effort than Romney. Every day the world have been looking for freedom of expression and less prejudice, we realize that when we see the problems that Syria and other countries are facing against a government virtually dictator. Since the United States has influence on the world, showing that they have a president that is open to new ideas and concepts contributes to the process of extinction of prejudice and repression. The president always talked of unity and resolution of the problems with the help of American citizens.
The proposals that Mitt Romney presented in debates seemed to be utopian and naive. Send troops to Afghanistan, to support the sale and supply of arms to countries in conflict, and take some actions that greatly harmed U.S. and world economy are some examples of misconceptions that Romney offered the American people. During interviews and debates Mitt Romney contradicted himself, changed several times of opinion on the same subject, leaving voters confused and not knowing specifically what are the changes that the country would suffer.
I hope Obama continues to improve and making the right decisions, that he exceeds the expectations of Americans and the world's, that he can help the United States to be a positive influence in all respects, and that the American people collaborates for the development of projects that will benefit everyone.
