Well for me I honestly think American Empire will lose its super power status in another 5 years forget about 2020, unless Mr. Obama get back to basics and change his government policies drastically. Showing hope but not able to deliver it will cost dearly to USA.
Johan Galtung (born 24 October 1930) is a Norwegian sociologist and a principal founder of the discipline of peace and conflict studies.
Johan Galtung Predictions
During the 1970s Galtung predicted the downfall of the Soviet Union in 1990, with an error (in the event) of less than a year. Since the fall of the Soviet Union he has made several predictions of when the USA will no longer be a functioning superpower – a practice that has created some controversy. After the beginning of the Iraq War, he revised his prediction of the “downfall of the USA”, seeing it as more imminent. He claims the U.S. will go through a phase as a fascist dictatorship on its path down, and that the Patriot Act is a symptom of this. He claims the election of George W. Bush cost the US five years – although he also says this estimate was set a bit arbitrarily.
Galtung has made predictions which have failed to materialize. For example, in 1953 he predicted that the Soviet Union’s economy would soon overtake the West. Source Wikipedia
