15. "post -American"?
What does that mean. If he means that Obama is the first President in an era where the US is no longer the undisputed leader internationally, he needs to consider exactly how that happened and on who's watch. The Bush administration squandered our respect in teh world. If he is implying that Obama is somewhat less "American" than other Presidents, he forgets that we are a nation of immigrants and his own lineage does not go back to Native Americans or even the Mayflower.

It says something that he could not get Senate confirmation or a SFRC recommendation - even from the dysfunctional, Republican dominated 109th Congress.
