Americans were swept up with emotions. His campaign was LONG and he is a great 'reader'. His message was canned however. Veiled comments hidden inside rhetoric. All that combined with the 'senator' thing. JFK was a senator too but had some character background - mainly being a war hero helped him. O is no JFK.
As I said I'm not an American and I don't live in US but I really don't know what was in the mind of the voters when they elected someone with no experience.
What chances has this guy with ZERO experience in negotiating with great leaders with more than 20 years of experience? The answer is NO CHANCES and you've seen it at G20 where he made a fool of himself.
LOL. America is not losing it's status because of others but because of itself. Because of it's bad leadership, incompetence and lack of vision!
Competition is great when you have a good leadership and smart followers.
America's power consisted in it's ability to influence other countries... Today America has no influence on nobody (and you've seen it at the last G20 when everybody was laughing at Obama's stupid ideas).
Nobody cares about the personality of the president.
It's all about strategy, economics and power plays.
That's a very romantisized vision of politics to think that a great American president can make the world swoon with his brilliant character.

I said nothing about his personality.
Beside the fact that he has no strategy he can't even convince the other leaders to follow his stupid ideas!
About what are you talking? Today Obama is unable to perform as a leader of the Western World because nobody listen to him and nobody takes him serious! Thank God for Germany because after 50 years they started again to have more influence over the World... I'll hope they'll replace America's position soon!
Has any president pre #44 revealed the cost of any travel?
It seems no one is responding to this comment. I wonder did Reagan, Clinton, Bush(plural) ever reveal their trips? I wonder why this one not being revealed matters.
LMAO. Obama's incompetance cannot cause the US to lose it's status as a world power. Obama does not have that kind of power. No one man does. Give me a break.
America is losing it's status as a world power because other countries economies are coming up and competing with us.
+100. There really isn't anything Obama (or anyone else for matter) can do to stop the inevitable decline of American (and even Western) influence and stature. America had a good run for the last few centuries, but the best of times for this country have already come and went. It is the new kids on the block (especially China and to a lesser extent India) that are going to a force to be reckoned with in the cultural, economic, international and political for many decades to come...

Well... Europe (as a whole) was #1 in the last 10.000 years and will probably remain #1 for another 10.000 years!
