In USA, Barack Obama was reelected by the citizens in the presidential election in 2012. The term of office of the president in Us is 4 years and get opportunities to serve consecutive term because they need longer period for prolonging of policies and making truthful government. And it can also bring bright future. The second president of Ukraine, Leonid Kuchma had served 2 consecutive term, total 10 years. When he first elected as a president, Ukraine recorded hyperinflation. Kuchma asked the International Monetary Fund to help him sort out state finances and did what it took to save his country. Without hesitation, he carried out the necessary market economic reforms and privatized most of the economy. By 1996, he had defeated inflation. Economy started to grow averaged 7.5 percent a year. He finally constructed market economy in Ukraine and the fact that achieved financial stabilization. At the end of his second presidency, Ukraine was prosperous in economy.
