Summary/Abstract: After sixteen months in power, the Democrat administration of Barack Obama came up with an ambitious document meant to position the President’s thinking on major challenges and objectives for Americans both at home and abroad. The new strategy for national security was released at a time when “America is hardened by wars and inspired by servicemen and women who fight them.” In the words of the President “[America] is disciplined by a devastating economic crisis, and determined to see that its legacy is a new foundation for prosperity; and we are bound by a creed that has guided us at home, and served as a beacon to the world”, as the President himself stated.
