The paper aims at assessing United States foreign policy during Barack Obama’s first term in office. While acknowledging many possible conceptual frameworks, the author uses continuity and change approach. Thus, the following areas are covered: implementation of selected foreign policy decisions, personal dimension, relations with Congress and some projection for future development. Surprisingly, notwithstanding rhetoric of change, it seems to be evident that the United States foreign policy between 2009 and 2012 may be described with considerable amount of continuity.

A common knowledge shapes our perception of the world and forms our understanding of political phenomena. And almost everyone could agree with the argument that circumstances influence politics. The ebbs and flows in influence, power, prerogatives, performance, and activity of many political actors are an effect of changes in the world outside of them. But one may reasonably argue: what is the cause and what is the result? Is it really true the circumstances evidently, clearly have an effect on e.g. US presidential prerogatives? Or, quite contrary, is the actual, current politics as active as the presidents used their power? The article is about how the two worlds influence each other, what are the mutual connections between politics and political actors’ powers.
