A long list of problems

Obama faces a series of formidable challenges, writes Jyllands-Posten newspaper: "The president-elect has not yet officially taken office, and already he must get a grip on the economy. He must initiate a responsible withdrawal from Iraq and respect civil rights. At the same time the US should reaffirm its leadership role and make good on its claim to superpower status. The world is waiting for a new energy policy and responsible action on global warming. The Americans are expecting that everyone will be included in the health insurance system and that the gaps in social welfare will be filled. The list of problems goes on and on, and no one can solve them alone. For that reason it is heartening that after his defeat John McCain has offered his cooperation."
