I went to Europe but it was when Bush was president and people were laughing at Bush... Haven't traveled since Obama had been president.. Obama hasn't done a good job so don't have money to travel as much...

We do know hes had his picture burned
Obama is keeping his word and withdrawing all troops, so I do not think that he would ever be as hated or resented by the Iraqi people as the "Commander Guy" that illegally invaded and occupied their country.

I dont care what other countries think of us. They hated and mocked Bush and he wont be the last. Our goal should be, "how do we make them like us". We should just be America, continue to be a great a country a we've always been, and if they think ill of us and our freedoms and our greatness, oh well.

Whether they laugh at Obama or not, it really doesnt matter.

According to these responses, it seems that there are not many countries around the world that are laughing at America or Obama. This sounds to me like people around the world like Obama.

What do the people around the world think about how so many American people are fed up with Obama?

Obama still seems to be well liked in Australia.
Bush not so much (or at all)

Honestly, most people around the world don't know or care much about American domestic politics. I mean, do you care about the conflict between the Han and Ughyrs in Xinjang province, know who the President of Indonesia is, or have an opinion on the trade dispute between Hungary and Slovakia?

To the rest of the world, America is not the center of their universe or even an important part, just as we don't think Beijing is the axis about which the Earth turns. They are much more interested in the next big movie coming out of hollywood than they are about troop deployments in Afghanistan (unless they are Afghan) or healtcare reform.

They don't know how many political parties we have, or what motivates our "grassroots" nor do they much care. So, there's the long version of the answer to your question.

The people who are most disrespectful towards President Obama are Americans. If the world is going to laugh about anything (or shake their head in confusion) it's that.
