And what "people" like us better? The left wing dominated worldwide news media, that's who. Gone are the slanted, hate-filled headlines and front page articles disseminating partisan attacks against George W. Bush. The appearance of the world hating the US has been taken away. But overall, people feel the same way about the US that they always have: if there's a calamity, be it a natural disaster or the invasion of a sovereign country by warmongers, it's "WHO YOU GONNA CALL?" ( This is in all due deference to those idiots who think the US' invasion of Iraq was warmongering and our country illegally entering a sovereign nation, and all that.)

.....to make up my mind and give him a chance. Which is exactly what I said about President Bush.

I have never seen a President run of the deficit and the national debt so quickly in my lifetime and he avoids answering direct questions even worse than his predecesor. We are in danger of losing the war in Afghanistan due to his slow decision making, our dollar is in freefall and our enemies are laughing at the USA. God help us.

You have to understand, people liking us better is an achievment for a "Liberal".

The fact that there is no return on that investment is immaterial.

Kind of like finding out your best friend is having an affair with your wife. Your relationship doesn't change the fact of what was done.

It is human nature to act in your own best self interest.

Obama thinks that by his "sheer force of personality" that will change.

IT WILL NOT!!!!

The world doesn't like us.  They are happy because they know they have 3 more years of doing whatever they want without repercussions.  There is only one thing that is understood in global politics.  Power.  And power brings respect.  Or fear. 

Am I the only one who read Machiavelli???  Does anyone in DC or on the MSM have even half a brain?

Time for CNN to do a fact-check!

The world doesn't like "us"...they like that we're becoming a weaker country under Obama.  The only time the rest of the world liked a strong America was when the wall of threat known as the Soviet Union was looming over them.  Once the USSR fell, they decided they didn't need us to be strong and protect them anymore so they had no use for us as a superpower.  Now they want us to be just another country like they are...and we're quickly heading that way under Obama's inexperienced watch.

Will's point, in response to the poll which showed race relations back to '60's levels, on the potential election of a white mayor (and a not liberal female to boot), was a good point, but, it missed a newly founded festering issue. 

The black political leadership in Atlanta is telling the black people that they cannot vote for a white person. In other words, America had indeed come a long ways, until President Obama and his radicals, forced opened the door to black exceptionalism and Rev. Wright's controversial Black Liberation Theology. Racism has been born anew - there is some change you can believe in.

The analagy here to what Obama has caused is to someone who has had the horrific experience of being raped or being tortured in a N. Vietnamese POW camp. The abused person spends years recovering - learning how to get on with their life - while at the same time, progress is made in addressing the underlying cause of the abuse; then suddenly, out of the woodwork, someone comes screaming at you and forcing you to relieve the entire experience which you had successfully placed in your past and grown away from. Your anger and your worst fears are brought to the surface again. Years of recovering and moving forward are thrown out the window. It's been reborn.

The poll numbers went up because of Obama.

Why is this happening? Because the Obama administration has brought back race and race baiting as the way. Change in America means - it's back!

Secondly. On the issue of divisive partisanship in Washington. Let's be clear. It is this Obama White House that is raising the stakes here by very public and visceral public attacks on political pundits who oppose their agenda; the official policy to create attacks on, and then sustain the hate of Fox News, and the out-of-the white house agenda to not simply appease the radical anti-anything-capitalist-freedom of speech and anti-America comes to the aid of oppressed countries and people around the globe, but rather to promote the radical leftist agenda - thru power.

Obama has not changed the tone; rather, he has added a sharp shill edge to the tone.

And, of course, the national MSM, is helping him every step of the way here.

PS. Sharpton. '..home mortgage rates are at their lowest level in..'

He's giving credit to Obama for that? That's because the Fed is doing their thing once again to keep rates low, in order to fuel investment -- this is nothing that a president wants to take credit for. No doubt that $trillions in government spending can produce a blurp in short term economic rebound, however, carrying that debt and/or paying it back will eventually cause nothing but harm to the economy.

Immediately following George Will was Al Sharpton who was completely stupid to the fact that George Will had just trashed BariumBama.

Sharpton agreed with Will, without knowing what he was agreeing with.

LYDSEXICS UNTIE!

No, they really don't like us more, they just fear us less and are confident that their little Socialist and semi-Marxist utopias can get some $ and various concessions from the American sheeple courtesy of yet another Libtard White House.

George needs to hang around conservatives a little more often.  I think he fantasizes about being a real conservative and has to imagine how conservatives actually think.

One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 86% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.

Will is wrong and giving far too much credit to the Dear Leader. They don`t like us better. They just like that the Bammy junta are complete idiots.
