What can we expect from Barack Obama’s second term as President? Here’s a quick look, compiled by The New Yorker, at Obama’s record on eight key issues: what he’s said, what he’s accomplished so far, and what he might be planning. For details, read Ryan Lizza’s inside account of the debates over what the President should prioritize over the next four years.

What he’s said:

“I state clearly and with conviction America’s commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons.”

April 5, 2009; Prague, Czech Republic.

What he’s accomplished:

The Administration oversaw the ratification of a new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty with Russia in April, 2010, which will significantly reduce the number of deployed strategic weapons. It also coöperated with Israel in the development of Stuxnet, a computer virus aimed at Iran’s nuclear program. The President hosted the Nuclear Security Summit in April, 2010.

Possible second-term goal:

Ratification of the 1996 Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty. Containment of Iran’s nuclear program.

What he’s said:

“This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.”

June 3, 2008, after clinching the Democratic nomination for President.

What he’s accomplished:

Obama has strengthened fuel-efficiency standards and increased funding for energy-efficiency and alternative-energy projects through the stimulus. But his major climate legislation died in the Senate.

Possible second-term goal:

Pass legislation that promotes clean energy, lowers carbon emissions, and reduces dependence on foreign fuels.

What he’s said:

“I know there are Republicans and Democrats in Congress who want to see a balanced approach to deficit reduction.”

April 13, 2011; Washington, D.C.

What he’s accomplished:

The Budget Control Act of 2011 punted the debate to a Super Committee, which then failed to reach an agreement. Cuts in military spending and Medicare-provider payments will kick in early next year unless an alternative agreement is reached.

Possible second-term goal:

A bipartisan long-term deficit-reduction agreement that cuts the deficit by about four trillion dollars over ten years, through a combination of spending cuts and revenue increases.
