Obama the Great?
March 26, 2009
President Obama was compared favorably to Alexander the Great on Wednesday at a White House reception honoring Greek Independence Day. The Greek Orthodox Church in America said the president should follow the example of the ancient military conqueror to help solve some of Greece's problems.
"I will tell Michelle that I've been compared to Alexander the Great," the president told 200 guests, many of them Greek-Americans from Chicago.
"I will see whether that gets me a little more respect at home. At home she knows she's still the boss."
