Thus, although Obama also inherited two ongoing wars, nuclear-proliferation threats from Iran and North Korea, and the continuing problem of Al Qaeda’s terrorism, his early months in office were devoted to addressing the economic crisis at home and abroad. His efforts were not a complete success, but he managed to stave off the worst outcome.
因此，尽管奥巴马接手了战争、伊朗和朝鲜核威胁以及基地组织恐怖主义等问题，但其白宫生涯的最初几个月都在应对国内外经济危机。他的努力算不上有多成功，但确实设法避免了最坏结果。
