1: The threat of more such setbacks still hangs over the economy. 2: Europe’s crisis has not been solved. 3: The intensifying confrontation between Iran and the west has driven petrol prices up 25 cents per gallon since mid-December. 4: Federal austerity remains a threat: Congress is once again locked in confrontation over a payroll-tax break that expires at the end of this month and a raft of other tax increases and spending cuts will kick in next year unless it intervenes. 5: In the economy, as in football, there is no guarantee that the second half will be easier than the first.

第二个障碍物可归结为接踵而来的霉运。在2010年和2011年里，欧洲主权国家的债务危机愈演愈烈，甚至打击了美国对金融市场的信心。去年，阿拉伯之春又把汽油价格推上天，消费者入不敷出。日本大地震和海啸更严重干扰了供应链。
