Sprading the over simplification of nationalism yet again. Obama is a nationalist. Not a US nationalist but a nationalist who is building a national hegemony through demographic warfare against America, to establish a nation of alleged post colonial racial minorities, supported by illegal aliens. That’s nationalism, and Obama is not a conservative.
Gee whiz! How did that come about?
No way that nationalism is the strict purview of conservatives.
Secondly, nationalism is not all bad.It never was. Patriotism is a sub set of nationalism, and it has built a wonderful nation in the USA.
When nationalism is 1) race based, when it is joined with the concepts of 2) historic justice and the 3)redistribution of wealth you achieve fascism. That’s what Obama is about.Not all nationalism leads to fascism. It needs these three ingredients bent on a false Utopia unreachable but for totalitarian control ( in Obama’s case..executive orders and extortion).

No, that is not nationalism. It is certainly not American nationalism, and he is the president in The United States of America, not a non-existent "nation of alleged post colonial racial minorities". What you are doing is stretching one word, "nationalism" to include coalition building of many nations and minorities. He could, perhaps be called some kind of Kenian nationalist if he lived in Kenia, but he is not a nationalist for America where he lives and governs.
Conservatives are two kinds: strict libertarian capitalists and those who recognize that in addition to private property there is a cultural national property, just as much in need of protection. That second kind, usually called cultural conservatives, are nationalist conservatives because they believe in the need to conserve the national institutions. You are right: it is not bad at all.
