Four more years

Obama won the election and that means he will be the President for four more years.  What does this mean for his foreign policy?  On the one hand this means stability in US policies towards Afghanistan, the Middle East and Russia.  On the other hand there will be major changes in Obama's foreign policy team and there are reports that now the election is over Obama is reconsidering some of his foreign policy strategies.  Over the next few months Obama will be focused on budget issues, the so called financial cliff, but early next year pay attention to foreign policy.  Issues like Iran, Afghanistan, Russia, and more will be making headlines.  For an article on the impact of secretary of state click here. For an update of the reset with Russia (by the way, I think Putin is very happy that Romney did not win) click here.
