Obama is nowhere. Brazil is showing their political muscle and the future role it will play in the hemisphere as a super power.

They had super power status when they annexed the the thumb of the Bolivian Pantanal, and beat up on Uruguay and Paraguay. That was almost 200 years ago. They are and most likely will be a regional power, but that is a long way from super when you compare them to the other regional powers. Real Power in the USA is left leaning democratic party controlled house, senate and office of the president.
