Just a quick poll would be cool.. like a quick thing that says "this % of people had a favorable view of the US under Bush, and not this % (which is lower) is the amount of people with a favorable view of the US under Obama.."

hahaha why are you perpetrating a myth that we are seen worse under Obama than Bush?  I don't see the riots, the protests, the mass displays of anti-Americanism where ever the president goes.  Certainly nothing on the scale of what was seen during the Bush admin.

no - I am just looking at the reality that Obama has been a national embarassment everywhere he goes and that chinas, russia, europe, korea, cuba, iran, and even the shoe shine boy down the street are mocking him due to his horrible polices. 

As for that chart - yeah - when someone gets to beat up the weakling for his lunch money every day, of course they are going to like him.

Are these the leaders or just the plebes? 

Because as far as anyone can tell - the world leaders laugh hysterically at obama everywhere he goes. 

Whether it is sarkozy, putin, Wen Ji Bao, the PM of S Korea, Merkle, et l - they are literally shaking their collective heads at the ignorance, incompetence, illiteracy, and ineptness of obama.

There's a difference between a people's opinion about a country, and a people's opinion about the state of a countries finances.

As one who lives OUTSIDE of the USA, I can assure you the world has a far more favourable opinion of the USA vis-a-vis foreign policy, since the sElection of Obama, however everyone's concern about US domestic policy is only with regards to how it affects them. Most outside of the US, couldn't care less about US domestic policies.

Americans may not feel too kindly towards Obama right now, but that's based on domestic policy.

One thing is as consistent as ever though when it comes to US presidents. When they get foreign policy right, they're often crushed by domestic policy. When they succeed domestically, it is always foreign policy that does them in. GWB was unique in that he messed up BOTH at the same time.

I am not faulting him for that.  If he was interested in the nation why did he help put out thousands of independent American small business owners, like your self, out of business?

ZING! The double standard of small business supporting big corporations is shown.   As we see yet again, republicans will vote or go against any issue whether it's in their best interest or not.  Take healthcare as an example, how many poor Republican American's would and will benefit from a change in the system?  Millions, how many support it?  far far less.  Same with business, 333 loves to rag on the government for interfering with small business, when the real killer is the box and chain stores killing any and all independent competition with low ball prices that don't reflect the true cost of things when the impact is taken as a whole.

Home Depot Co-founder: Obamacare Will ‘Kill Off’ Small Business
 Newsmax ^ | 4/11/2013 | Todd Beamon and Kathleen Walter

Posted on Thursday, April 11, 2013 11:22:47 PM by tobyhill

Retired Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus declared to Newsmax TV in an exclusive interview that “Obamacare is going to kill off small business.”

“If [employees] are thrown out of their medical plans now, where they’re covered in a good plan and thrown under the bus, they’re going to be destroyed,” Marcus said on Thursday. “If, in fact, they don’t stay as full-time employees but go to part-time employees, they’re going to be destroyed.

He talked to Newsmax at the Job Creators Alliance Free Enterprise Leadership Summit in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.

“People have to understand that the villain is not their employer; the villain is the U.S. government,” Marcus added. “Obamacare is the capper. That’s the bullet to the temple.”

Marcus, who retired from Home Depot in 2002, established the Job Creators Alliance two years ago. The nonprofit group seeks to advocate for entrepreneurs and small-business owners.
