Up there with Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Stalin, Churchill and Nixon, lulz.
Come on he's ok, but Stalin good. Pluueeze.
Then again, more recently, Raygan, Bilbob, Bush.
Why not call it 'if we can't think of anything better, the who's u.s president award'.

Obama was probably most significant in 2008 when he was still a Senator running for the Presidency. As President, he's done some notable things, but IMO, nothing that trumps the way his 08 campaign ushered in a new mentality about politics and elections. The technology and social media alone was a big thing, but that was bound to happen regardless of Obama. But his 08 campaign also successfully altered the realities of the electoral universe, which made it possible to take out someone like Hillary Clinton.

IMO it's got to be between Hu Jintao and Obama based solely on influence. Angela Merkel and Vladimir Putin a distant third.
