Too bad none of that would even enter the messiah's mind. Someone might think he has America's interests before the worlds and that wouldnt set well with the Europeans he loves so much.
That would never happen simply because we rely on the rest of the world too much. It really has nothing to do with Obama, but more to do with our economic structure and pacts we've developed throughout history. China damn near owns America and there is nothing we can do about it. We rely so much on the rest of the world because we are a country of consumption and that means we have to use resources outside of our country. On top of that we spend more time getting in our own way more than other countries do.
