I'm not sure anybody still respects Obama anymore. Foreign leaders don't. The right doesn't. I think the left tolerates him but is losing patience with him and will blame him for their failed policies.
Dig a bit deeper than one cherry picked article and you will realize the diversity of views.
It always amazes me how people think ONE article confirms EVERYTHING.
So True.
In the article I found "Perhaps Obama's toughest critic over the BP oil slick has been James "Rajin' Cajun" Carville, the mastermind of Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign and one of those Democrats who represents the beating heart of the party. He blasted Obama's "political stupidity" and "hands off" attitude, concluding: "It seems the President is madder at his critics than he is at BP." "
I decided to Google James Carville Obama BP and came up with a slew of articles which were USA based, not foreign. Pretty much all had similar views.
I hate to use the term 'fortunate' when describing the Bush/Katrina debacle, but Bush was fortunate given the magnitude of the Obama handling of the BP oil spill crisis whilch will be far greater on millions more people as well as the ecosystem and our economy. A month plus later, and a few plane rides to the Gulf and we've yet to see the President come down hard on BP. He's overdue. One decent hurricane and this ecological disaster will be even bigger.

I doubt any foreign leaders ever did. While Obama was campaigning to the world and his followers were swooning, they failed to realize that our adversaries were not respectful, but salivating at the idea of such a weakling in the Oval Office.
Even Biden said before he was selected VP that it wouldn't be six months before Obama was tested by the world. He was measured and found wanting.
I believe you are correct in that the left will ultimately blame him for their failures.
Unlike the republicans who refused to fault Bush in his 8 miserable years, supporters of democrats are honest and will speak up when we think the one we support is not doing enough. If our country (including the right) was honest all along, then maybe Bush wouldn't have been able to sink us as low as we are now.
LOL
And yet you didn't include one single act of "speaking up" in your post. Does that mean that you don't actually have any gripes with the Obama Administration, although you proclaim that you're very willing to let us know that when you have one?
Real leaders are too busy solving problems to point fingers. Only the weak and ineffective resort to the blame game.
Obama has taken the "blame game" to a new--and pathetic--level.
