In 1844 Henry Clay asked "who is James K. Polk" today no one asks who is Barack Obama as everybody from Washingstone DC to the most interior part of Tanzania, UK, Finland, Asia and Zimbabwe knows who is Barack Obama.
I remarked infront of some Professors one day "If we would have one world government, I think Obama could still have the better chance of been that world government." suprisingly they all said am very right Obama is the best.
