Obama's '''Apology Tour''' of 2009 encouraged European allies to take a leading role in NATO.<ref>http://www.heritage.org/europe/report/barack-obamas-top-10-apologies-how-the-president-has-humiliated-superpower</ref> The disastrous consequences of ceding American global leadership to smaller allies has borne consequences which the living generation will be dealing with for a lifetime. In this sense, Obama was indeed "transformational." Nonetheless, after experiencing the result of Obama's shift in US foreign policy, the colossal failure writ large in the unnecessary Syrian and Libyan wars, one-half million dead, eleven million homeless and dispossessed, an army of 3 million Islamic invaders overrunning Europe, permanently changing European civilization into something anti-thetical to [[Christian]] values, tolerant of patriarchal, anti-feminist and homophobic enclaves in its midst which are hostile to the host culture, has yet to be played out.

The danger of a Superpower ceding leadership to smaller allies is, the allies are more inclined to take adventurous risks knowing they have a "big brother," so to speak, to back them up or bail them out. The role of a Superpower is to maintain peace within an alliance and avoid these petty grievances between smaller neighboring and competing states. Libya, once an adversary, became an ally in 2003 after a hard fought battle for decades to persuade Gaddafi to become a member in good standing among the community of nations. But Libya's growth was perceived as threatening to established French and UK [[Colonialism|colonial interests]],<ref>http://www.mintpressnews.com/wikileaks-hillary-clinton-helped-topple-gadhafi-france-uk-fought-libyas-oil/215104/</ref> and as an opportunity for [[Hillary Clinton]] to establish herself as a leader on  the  world stage.

Before Obama left office, in his Peru speech,<ref>By his eighth year in office Obama was preaching [[American exceptionalism]] as all his [[globalist]] and [[neoconservative]] forebears had done: "once you're in the Oval Office, once you begin interacting with world leaders, once you see the complexities of the issues, '''that has a way of''' shaping your thinking and, in some cases, '''modifying your thinking''', because '''you recognize''' this solemn responsibility not only to the American people but '''the solemn responsibility that America has''' as the largest, most powerful country in the world... the United States really is an indispensable nation in our world order.  ... the basic framework of the world order coming out of World War II and then on through the end of the Cold War was shaped by a set of ideals and principles that have worked for the vast majority of people -- not just America, but around the world.  The notion of democracy and rule of law, and a free press and independent judiciary, and open markets...It doesn’t just happen on its own.  I've said this in Europe.  I've said this in places where there’s this pushback against this modern order.  ...if we're not on the side of what’s right, if we're not making the argument and fighting for it, even if sometimes we're not able to deliver at 100 percent everywhere -- then it collapses.  '''And there’s nobody to fill the void.  There really isn't.'''</ref> Obama was sounding a different tune from the [[liberal claptrap]] he preached in the early days, which caused untold suffering and millions of personal tragedies in [[Africa]] and the [[Middle East]]. In a rare moment of examination of conscience and utter self-honesty, Obama was to admit Hillary's "greatest moment"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fgcd1ghag5Y Hillary Clinton on Gaddafi: We came, we saw, he died].  youtube</ref> was his "worst mistake."<ref>[http://www.commondreams.org/news/2016/04/12/libya-obama-admits-clintons-greatest-moment-was-his-worst-mistake Libya: Obama Admits Clinton's "Greatest Moment" Was His "Worst Mistake], Lauren McCauley, ''Common Dreams'', April 12, 2016.</ref>
