Obama more popular than U.S. among Arabs: survey Sun May 10, 2009 7:02pm EDT
By Paul Eckert
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama's popularity in leading Arab countries far outstrips that of the United States, suggesting he could be able to boost goodwill in the region toward his country, a survey showed on Sunday.
Obama, set to give a major speech to the Muslim world in Egypt next month, "currently enjoys widespread optimism among citizens of that region that he will have a positive effect on their own country, the Middle East, the United States and indeed the world," the polling outfit Ipsos said.
Ipsos said its poll, conducted in March, involved 7,000 adults in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Lebanon, Egypt and Jordan.
Of those surveyed, 33 percent had a favorable view of the United States, 43 percent had a negative view, 14 percent were neutral and 10 percent said they did not know, Ipsos said.
In contrast, Obama received favorable ratings averaging 48 percent in the region as a whole. Approval ran as high as 58 percent in Jordan and was lowest among Egyptians, who gave Obama favorable ratings of 35 percent, Ipsos said.
Only 22 percent of Egyptians expressed a favorable view of the United States, the lowest of the six countries surveyed.

Of course, why shouldn’t they when he’s kissing their @$$ so much. He’s humiliating himself and America, which is what they want.

“Obama, set to give a major speech...”
Oh, yay. Yet another “major speech” from the Dear Leader.
“Evidently the arabs and I agree that Obama and the US are mutually exclusive. Good. They can have him.”
Apparently, they already do... in their hip pocket.
Of COURSE! Don’t Muslims love and respect one another, just not Christians and Jews?
POS Obama is a Muzzie I think and is probably proud of what OBL was able to do. After all, the terrorist Ayers is a good friend of his. Along with the America hater Rev. Wright.
I have a hard time trying to imagine what goes through the mind of a person who could vote for this guy. When someone mentions they voted for him, it’s like saying, I have an IQ of 67, and I’m so proud of it.
I see Zero 08 stickers on cars and I say to myself “there goes a certified POS schmuck without a brain cell working.” Traitor comes to mind too.
“Scumbag” is the term I use for anyone who would drive around with an 0bama sticker on their car.
I AM SHOCKED! SHOCKED, I SAY! That Barry is more popular among the Muzzies than America. Stupid Arabs! And stupid Americans for voting this guy in.
Saw a great bumper sticker, “Only liberal could make a terrorist into a victim”. Ain’t it the truth!
Yep, one has to wonder about all those who must have remorse over voting for the voodoo child.
LOL So true
bump
It’s only fair that they should have him, then.
A “heaven” of 72 virgins is not meant to keep them virgin, and hence it is a hell hole of human sewaging they worship. Their support for Obama should scare us.
