I don't know or care WHY folks overseas find Obama popular. I simply made an observation that a President who's popular overseas is more likely to achieve his goals abroad.

Well no not necessarily.
I he is popular with leaders abroad yes but leaders and their people do always see eye to eye. Look at Tony Blair for instance. Helped us out and he was terrible unpopular for it.

Yeah, but Blair was the exception (and there will ALWAYS be exceptions). By and large Bush has been unpopular with both the masses and the leaders of other nations. Furthermore, Bush was NOT so unpopular in Britain to BEGIN WITH (I know, I have family and friends overthere). He BECAME unpopular (and Blair was a casualty of that unpopularity).
I obviously live in the United States. Why does it matter what I do for a living and why is that pertinent to this discussion? I have worked in various fields, but my training is as a clinical psychologist.
Wow, I didn't realise you were an American by what your posts said! Only wanted to know where in the USA, to see why that state/town is so amazing that beats Sweden.
You brought that issue, saying that your company provides you with healthcare and implying that those whose employers don't are too lazy to find a good job. That was all.
After Bush, it would be greatly beneficial for us to have a president who is thought well of in other parts of the world. As to the poster who said something to the effect of after Obama's first mistake, the US would be on these other countries' s--t list. No. It is our country that is guilty of this type of superficiality.
I didn't say after Obama's "first mistake", you are misquoting. I said the "first time he does something they don't approve of". Big difference!
Maybe all the countries in the world should have a vote on what we do. That way we'd always be thought well of by the majority of the world...
You make it sound sooooo simple....especially in this age of outsourcing and cutbacks....
I'd have to agree with this. Also, today's great benefits that only cost a family $100/month can go way up if companies decide that they can't contribute as much as they once were

I have to believe Hillary and all the small town folks in American who are feeling the paing would agree with you. Of course as does Barak and Johnny McCain. Not sure who is still running who wouldn't. There are of course Americans who agree with Dixie so I am not sure who there candidate is. Ron Paul maybe? I don't know.
