You really need to read things. I am pointing out another promise Obama broke. He promised to build up our image world wide, when in fact it is now worse than where it was with Bush.
Why do you care, Viking? You don't care what our foreign image is, so why is this an issue for you? Just another excuse to daily bash our President?
Yeah, Bush just started unnecessary wars, and had people in news conferences throwing shoes at him... That was MUCH better for our "image"... Bush was a clown, and the rest of the world knew it.

So..............., what does that say about Obama? From the op:"only 5 percent of Egyptians surveyed said they have a favorable opinion of the United States and its president. Similar figures in Morocco, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates illustrate that the initial optimism in the region has been eclipsed by a widespread sense of disappointment."

That sentence is the only one in the article that adds "and its president" as a qualifier. When they asked the question (which they don't disclose), did they ask about the opinion of the US or of the President? Seems a bit misleading to me.
