2. President Obama has not achieved all that he promised to the people of America in his first term of his presidency, however he hopes to once again turn his focus towards these original goals that won him the nobel peace prize, only in a less ambitious and more realistic way. President Obama wishes to secure a strong American influence in Asia, and break from the U.S's dependence on the middle east for gas and oil, along with to reduce the amount of deployed nuclear weapons in the hands of countries worldwide. Most of all, Obama wants to reestablish America's role as the leading power in the world.

3. The president has the power to deploy troops, he could use this power to force other nations to give up their nuclear weapons if they refuse to agree on a compromise having to do with the amount of deployed nuclear weapons a country is allowed to have.

4. The president can influence the public through the media, and help reach a unified country that restrains from participating in international trading with countries that refuse to get rid of their deployed nuclear weapons.
