Although serving almost exactly 100 years apart, these two Presidents bear a striking similarity as to background, philosophy and effectiveness of their administrations:
1. Background. Both were raised in race-obsessed families and had little real-world experience. Wilson had been Governor of New Jersey and Obama had been a U.S. Senator for only two years before being elected President.
2. Philosophy. Both were idealistic "progressives" who thought they were smarter than anyone around them. Wilson typed his own foreign dispatches and Obama believed he was incapable of "doing stupid stuff" like his predecessors. They were also willing to impose their supposedly superior knowledge on others by force (e.g., Wilson in Nicaragua, Obama in Lybia), and mislead the public when politically convenient (e.g., Wilson kept us out of WW1, Obama blamed Benghazi on a video).
3. Effectiveness. Both consented to disastrous international agreements which sowed the seeds of future conflict and were unable to obtain Congressional ratification (e.g., Wilson's Versailles Treaty, Obama's Iran Nuclear Agreement).
Conclusion: Two of the worst Presidents in American history.
P.S. Both won Nobel Peas Prizes.
