Josef Braml, German council on foreign relations, said, "I'm afraid many things they expect, he won't be able to deliver and he realized that when he gave his victory speech, he told the world and his countrymen, this will take time, problems may get worse, especially economically."

Analysts say the most important thing for the Obama Administration is having a pragmatic and cooperative working relationship with other countries, in order to tackle the issues affecting people around the world.

Gordon Brown, British prime minister, said, "I believe together America, Britain and the rest of the world can confront the economic problems that he is determined to face up to and meet the environmental challenge which is a mission he has set himself and we can bring more hope and more prosperity to the world in the years to come."
