First Truly Global U.S. President. I'm sure his Marxist supporters would agree. And his Che supporters, too.
But the first? Really?
*FDR at the helm during global depression & a world war doesn't count?
*The vaunted JKF staring down the USSR's 'missiles of October' & nearly setting off WWIII; Inspiring a nation to space race the USSR to the moon - and succeeding? Nah. Not that global - just planetary.
*Nixon ending Johnson's vietnam war; SALT I & detente with Russia and China; Kissinger's "shuttle diplomacy" & ending an Arab oil embargo? Not too global, either, I guess.
*How about Ronald Reagan almost single handedly bankrupting & collapsing the USSR which liberated hundreds of millions of Eastern bloc people; dealing with Cuban aggression in Central America & a growing global terrorism threat from Lybia, Lebanon & Egypt? Dang it. I guess he was just a piker, too.
Yup! Put that nose in Obama's crotch. Obama is the First Truly Global U.S. President!
The barry-gasms are just beginning, folks.
I'm gonna be sick...
