What can we thank Obama for?

[SadisticNature]

I think it says a lot that in a survey of the World's most popular leaders Obama won!

In similar surveys in the past, Bush was typically winning the most unpopular category.

I think the world-view of the US has changed for the better in the past few years.

The world at large was so fed up with U.S. unilateral interventionism that when someone won the presidency while opposing that strategy they got the Nobel Peace Prize.

In Europe, Americans are far more popular, I haven't seen a press story about Americans pinning Canadian flags to their clothing while traveling in Europe in the past two years, an event that was commented on regularly during the Bush Administration, and even suggested as a good idea by travel columnists.
