I think you're wrong.

Obama is President-elect of the United States. You may be a citizen.

I haven't seen where he shares your values or priorities in any meaningful sense. For instance, I have the sense he is patriotic, not jingoistic.

I have the sense he regards human beings as Children of a Just God, and through Grace deserving of the chance to be healthy, to grow, and to see their children receive preventive medical care because they are human beings. From what you've said you don't share that basic value. People have no worth past a dollar sign.

I have the sense that Obama sees people living in other countries as human beings, not as "de facto" sub-primates who can be killed at will by mercenaries of the United States without consequences. As you do.

That's just for starters. Most people would get the idea. He's not "yours". He's the antithesis of "yours". He is, though, the President of your country.
