I was out of the country this past summer (Latin America) and I can definitely see a major difference of opinion regarding Obama. Two years ago, they were ecstatic about him. That is no longer the case. There’s nothing much left of that vision of a rose....more like a thorny little stem now.

I think the same is true in Spain, too. Of course, they just got rid of their version of Obama (Zapatero), so maybe that’s a positive sign for us!
