President OBAMA

What would have happened to the economy of the United States of America, if all the ATM cards had failed after the 2008 elections? Will the United States of America still be regarded as an economic Super Power Or just another country that was swept away by history, just like the Roman Empire, or the Ottoman Empire which was called "The sick man of Europe" or the old Soviet Union? The Task before the new President was more than average imagination of any president in the history of the free world, from the mess left behind by President Bush, his successor, President Obama had to work harder for him to be relevant in the history of a nation which gave him a very hostile Republican controlled Congress. Can he succeed?
