Yeah, he really is, he is usually considered one of the most powerful men on earth.
Anyway, those people knew nothing about the video until they were told it existed, which IMO, happened at the moment Obama mentioned it for the VAST majority of them. You again fail to follow the simple timeline, other than one rather small protest in Egypt, all of these protests you try to say cover his inept attempt to distract from the real cause happened after Obama's speeches where he kept getting all angrified about some video that nobody had seen and didn't know existed for months....
More proof you blaming Obama for violent protests in 20 countries is bullshit...
Timeline: Protests over anti-Islam video
Breakdown of events since diffusion of video considered offensive to Islam that led to violent protests at US embassies.
Thousands of people have protested across the Muslim world against the film Innocence of Muslims, a movie made in the US that depicts the Prophet Muhammad in what Muslims say is a derogatory manner.
The film was produced in southern California by Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, a Coptic Christian filmmaker who was born in Egypt and influenced by radical anti-Islamic cleric Zakaria Botros Henein.
Nakoula was released from a US prison in June 2011 on probation from a bank fraud conviction. Production of the film started in August 2011 and then screened at a Hollywood theatre months later, when close to no one watched.
On July 1, 2012, a 14-minute-trailer of the film was uploaded to YouTube by "sambacile", thought to be one of Nakoula's aliases. Weeks later, right-wing Washington DC-based Coptic activist Morris Sadek sent the link to Gamel Girgis, an Egyptian reporter who writes about emigrant Copts for al-Youm al-Sabaa, a newspaper in Cairo.
Interest in the film then spread throughout the Egyptian media, with al-Nas channel presenter Khaled Abdullah, an ultraconservative Salafi, showing the clip dubbed into Arabic on September 8. Days later, violent protests broke out in two Muslim nations, as a firestorm was unleashed against US diplomatic posts.
