Barack Obama’s Second Chance: a Sarajevo Moment

Barack's Obama re-election in November 2012 was convincing. Yet, the ambivalence shown by many of his most loyal supporters – with less enthusiastic crowds, a smaller margin of victory, and a less serene tone than four years ago – point to the disappointment of a large part of American public opinion. Still, Obama learned a great deal over the past four years. And what he learned augurs well for his ability to assert his place in history with the audacity which he had initially claimed.
