WE TOLD YOU SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Worldwide approval of U.S. leadership dipped considerably during President Barack Obama’s fourth year in office — but it increased in some countries, including Mexico.
The median approval rating for U.S. leadership for 130 countries was 41 percent in 2012, down 8 percentage points from the 49 percent approval during Obama’s first year in office, according to a Gallup poll released Wednesday.

“This shift suggests that the president and the new secretary of state may not find global audiences as receptive to the U.S. agenda as they have in the past. In fact, they may even find even once-warm audiences increasingly critical,” Gallup’s Julie Ray wrote.

In Mexico, U.S. leadership had a 37 percent approval — an 11 percentage point increase from 2011, according to Gallup.
“Some of the increase may stem from Mexicans’ optimism about future U.S.-Mexican relations after Obama welcomed then-President-elect Enrique Pena Nieto to the White House in late November 2012 and pledged cooperation on trade and immigration reform,” Ray wrote.
In Europe, U.S. leadership dipped from 42 percent in 2011 to 36 percent for last year.
Ray wrote that the data suggests that “the U.S. was likely shouldering some of the blame for the ongoing financial crisis in Europe.”

The Gallup poll included 1,000 individuals aged 15 and older in 130 countries last year, and pollsters said that with 95 percent confidence that the margin of error is as high as plus or minus 4.8 percentage points, reflecting the influence of data weighting.

The folks I know around the world - and I know a few - are starting to see your hero as a pretty bad man - you might have a one track mind but not everyone esle does.

Mexico is starting to love you guys - it is getting easier to become a citizen once you have crashed the borders - now they all want in - after all everything is free!!

Going to be expensive turning all those food and product labels into Spanish.

I thank you for the entertainment.

So after Obama's been in office for a term, a drop in approval rating is Bush's fault? Did I miss something?

And does anyone remember which caucus claimed that Freddy and Fannie were healthy? If Bush had cracked down he would have been labeled an incredible racist. Not that that hasn't already been done.

One track mind, or one trick pony? I think the latter. Look at today's posts. I've seen the Bush Bush silliness in the first two threads I've opened.
