Democrats enjoy a complicit, friendly US media. This in turn facilitates a complicit, friendly international media. Most people get their opinions from the media.
Anyone besides me able to connect those particular dots?
Too, too funny. Now it's the media across the whole world that is in the liberals' pocket. You guys are a riot.
Ever consider the possibility that maybe it's just that American conservatives are the minority on this particular view? Ever connect those particular dots?
No, probably not. That's asking for too much intellectual thought.
Look, I get it that you're not faring too well nowadays, but your life would still be a disaster no matter who the president is.
So..ya know...whatever.
Wrong, I'm faring quite well and Obama's policies of enriching the wealthy have been great for me personally. I don't like Obama justifying beheadings of non-Muslims by Muslims, raping young girls by Muslims (precedent by Moham) and then criticizing Christians because 800 years ago, they didn't let the Muslims chop their heads off. Obama also has run up a huge deficit that fortunately, we elected a Republican Congress that stopped it and or at least slowed it down...and he keeps trying to ratchet up more debt, give $200 Billion taxpayers dollars to Iran.
W's last Gallup approval rating was 34%'. That's how he left office playboy.
At a few points, he hit as low as 25%.
That's the U.S. numbers. His worldwide numbers are unknown to me but I'd bet they're at a maximum half of Obama's present numbers.
So what? Statistics work on an average, and Obama's average approval rating in the U.S. is 2 or more points below any other president since Carter. In other words, according to you, Obama is the least effective president since 1979-1980.
Funny... I'm a Cold War generation kid and crowing about being better than Russia and China used to be a prominent feature of this country and being an American.
Hell, I was indoctrinated from 5 years old well into my teenage, college and Army years of just that.
But now, that's nothing to crow about, huh? Since when? 2008?
I know, I know.
It is so obvious we are better than Russia and China that no poll needs to be taken. It is like a history poll asking who you like better George Washington or Adolf Hitler.
Approval minus disapproval USA 45-27=18
Austere Germany 41-22=19
With the global Muslim population at 23% and rolling in socialists and communists to the equation (all of which would display varying degrees of approval that this administration plays a significant part in advancing the legitimacy of their cause) it's no wonder. Very popular indeed
Obama and his Administration is popular in other countries is really no surprise.
REASONS:
1. Obama views himself as a citizen of the world and as such Obama at times DOESN"T put US interests first.
2. G. W. Bush's missteps/mistakes and attitude rubbed many foreign leaders the wrong way, so in comparison Obama does look better.
3. Obama goes out of his way to ingratiate himself to foreign leaders, BOTH allies and enemies.
The results:
1: Unlike G W Bush, Enemies ( Iran, Cuba,ISIS) of the US view Obama as we WEAK and pandering. This is the view of muslim extremists.
2. Our military allies know that they can't count on the US as they did in the past.
3: Israel/US relations are at an all time LOW ! ( guess why? )
4: Mass influx of Central American Illegals view Obama as weak . How as can toddlers cross Obama's imaginary secure borders.
5: Mexico's president and Mexican Illegal know Obama's Hispandering to them with DACA and assorted crap absolves them of their criminal acts.
And the list goes on, is it any wonder WHY the outside world likes this clown???
Not sure why Obama ranks better, he has essentially continued the disastrous interventionist foreign policy of the Bush and Clinton administrations.
Israel is unimportant to the U.S. national interest, and is in fact a detriment to the U.S. Obama continues to waste money on foreign aid.
The Islamic extremists are attacking the U.S. because of what the U.S. does in the Middle East, since Obama has continued motivating the Jihad the attacks will continue.
Wish the poll showed a map by country, pretty sure the U.S. would receive very low scores in the Middle East.
These countries should rely on themselves. Which allies are you talking about? The real ones, or ones that use us.
