Don't underestimate Obama's power and influence. He, along with the Clinton's and Bush's, are some of the most powerful people in the world. Add in Bill Gates and George Soros and that's more power and influence than the Vatican, which is hated by a majority of the world for mostly anti-Christian reasons, but also other reasons, obviously. But a good number of people still love the Obama's and Clinton's, even Bill Gates. That holds more of a sway on people's minds than anything else.
