24. If he earns it, fine.
Do you think (as the OP posits) that Obama should be praised for:

a. having a foreign sounding name and/or

b. inspiring the Arab Spring by being a brown person in a position of importance?

Don't you think it's a little bit offensive to the kids who stared down the barrels of guns to suggest that their successes are really down to the US people having the foresight to elect someone descended from people from a country that is kind of close to theirs?
