Obama - Another Mahatma in the making?

Obama’s presidency is already a historic event for America. World is overenthusiastic over his rhetoric on economy, Middle East policy particularly Iran policy, troop withdrawal from Iraq and war on terror beginning from Pakistan and Afghanistan. He spells more action and moral approach over several pressing issues which raises hopes all over the world. Does that mean a new history is in the making and Obama will become Mahatma for America..?
