\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – The next four years could be a tall order for
\nPresident Barack Obama. Among his challenges: slowing global
\ngrowth, U.S. companies still too anxious to expand much and

\nside, signs suggest that the next four years will coincide with a
\nvastly healthier economy than the previous four, which overlapped
