Awesome. I never knew Obama was soooo awesome, and how bizarre to see everyone else on here thought it was as awesome as me! Thanks guys! We love Obama! He's our Jesus Christ and Beatles rolled into one awesome Fruit Roll Up!

You are taking it out of context. He was referring the to legend of the Gordian Knot.

This is just a case of culture shock...I am sure the Greeks found it pretty insulting as it is meant as a phase to associated to great cunning and not that of power and might. Alexander the Great was a student of Aristotle remember, he wasn't just a warrior, he was multidimensional.

This is no doubt just as large a diplomatic insult as he did to England when he sent back the statue they gave him. His diplomatic abilities seemed to be poor at best. If you don't give him a teleprompter he's clueless.

Good video though, thanks blank
