For the second time in just over a week, Barack Obama is on his way to Scandinavia, his mission once again to confront impossible expectations with a cold bucket of reality. Last week he was in Oslo to pick up a Nobel peace prize, apologetically explaining that in the real world away from Norwegian dreams he was a war president who had just escalated the US presence in Afghanistan. On Friday he will touch down in Copenhagen, this time required to offer his regrets that, despite the hopes he stirred round the world a year ago, he will not be able to pull out his pen and, at a stroke, sign the deal that saves the planet.

Obama is not saviour of the world. He's still an American president | Jonathan Freedland | Comment is free | The Guardian
Obama is mediocre lets face it. Its just that in comparison to Bush he looks awesome. Obama even won a nobel peace prize for not being Bush, thats how terrible of a president Bush was. I feel America is still somewhat traumatized from the Bush years so people think anyone that is different from Bush is good. All politicians are the same, crooks and liars, and you should never trust a politician, especially Bush.
