Reg, read obamas quote back to me

[kentonio]

New world opinion poll out, especially for all those people who believed it when Fox told them how Obama was ruining America's image abroad..

Pakistan is the only country that favours Romney.

Good company there.

[kentonio]

I did lol at Kenya being first on the list though.

[Tuberski]

I think the order is based on Romney's popularity, however, so Romney is actually the most popular IN Kenya.

ACK!

Wipe the Ragu off of your chin and MAYBE someone will take you seriously.

As much as I tend to enjoy silly Southern phrases (they can be quite fun), I have literally NO idea what this is supposed to mean. Is eating Ragu something only children do?

Who they prefer does not necessarily reflect if they think Obama is damaging our image. If they think Romney is a douche then they think Romney is a douche.
Not that I believe FOX, just saying.

[MikeH]

Well certainly in the UK the USAs image is much improved under Obama than under Dubya.

He's much better at diplomatic relations with us too, even his couple of early swipes at us were well argued (and some would say justifiable).

In contrast Romney's gaffes on his tour here just made him look ignorant and/or poorly briefed.

Googling the phrase yielded zero results.

There was a study a while back that looked back over the period before and during Obamas term. It showed US sentiment as rock bottom, then spiking sharply under Obama before settling down some, but still remaining far above the level under Bush.

I'm not saying different. I'm just saying that particular poll shouldn't be used as proof for his FOX cut. (as much as it's deserved)

Yes that study would probably have more appropriate for you to use.

[kentonio]

True, this one is just out though and tbh I was feeling snarky.

Somehow I'm not surprised most of the world would prefer the more left wing candidate... we are rather more right wing (economically, at least) than most.

Speer. That is a VERY small violin you are playing.
