Skeptics would add his children's lifetime too. So isn't the visionary Obama just sloganeering?

In terms of actual policies, there won't be wholesale changes in all areas of foreign affairs; Obama will maintain status quo on a number of issues, including financial and military support of Israel, high defence spending levels, promoting free trade while protecting key American industries, a commitment to stabilizing Afghanistan and Iraq (with a planned withdrawal in the latter), and championing NATO membership for former Soviet republics Georgia and the Ukraine.
