Barack Obama’s Gallup approval rating of 52 percent may well be lower at this stage of his presidency than any US leader in recent times with the exception of Bill Clinton. But he is still worshipped with messiah-like adoration at the United Nations, and is considerably more popular with many of the 192 members of the UN than he is with the American people.
The latest Pew Global Attitudes Survey of international confidence in Obama’s leadership on foreign affairs shows strikingly high approval levels for the president in many parts of the world – 94 percent in Kenya, 93 percent in Germany, 88 percent in Canada and Nigeria, 77 percent in India, 76 percent in Brazil, 71 percent in Indonesia, and 62 percent in China for example. The Pew survey of 21 countries reveals an average level of 71 percent support for President Obama, compared to just 17 percent for George W. Bush in 2008.
As the figures indicate, Barack Obama is highly likely to receive a warm reception when he addresses the United Nations General Assembly today, whereas his predecessor in the White House was greeted with undisguised contempt and stony silence.
It is not hard to see why a standing ovation awaits the president at Turtle Bay. Obama’s popularity at the UN boils down essentially to his willingness to downplay American global power. He is the first American president who has made an art form out of apologizing for the United States, which he has done on numerous occasions on foreign soil, from Strasbourg to Cairo. The Obama mantra appears to be – ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do to atone for your country. This is a message that goes down very well in a world that is still seething...

They love him because he hates America as much (or more) than they do.
It’s interesting that he doesn’t care what Americans think of him. He only cares what the Nations of Islam care about him. He will attempt to destroy this country.
“THERE SHALL BE PEACE IN OUR TIME. OR DID SOROS TELL ME IT WAS TIME TO SMASH AMERICA TO PIECES? Without Mr. Teleprompter, I get sooo confused any more…”
All men lose when freedom fails, And good men rot in filthy jails. And those who cried “Appease, appease…” Are HANGED by those they sought to please.

We knew all of this before he was elected.
Agreed but nothing is being done to stop him.
I found his speech to be more like a campaign speech. Perhaps a prelude of things to come in the Obama machines grand scheme of things world-wide.
You mean something like “King Obama”?
Did you notice Gaddafi wearing a broach of Africa and then toting Obama as the Son of Africa?
That too.
I worry that an attack on the US right now would go unanswered. Iran or terrorists from al-Qaida could unleash an attack secure in the belief that there would be no response from the US. In such circumstances, why not destroy a city? Does anyone really think that Obama would unleash hell on the source? Nuke Tehran? Carpet bomb Waziristan? No, he would do what Clinton did, and deny that the source was a foreign state, and then he would prosecute a few individuals as criminals, and then he would ask Americans to pray for the wisdom to understand why they hate us so much. He would have to ask Israel to surrender, so that it doesn't happen again.
I hope we have enough men left in America to do what's necessary if we are attacked again, because Obama will not.
Yep and he wants Obama to be President forever. In his dreams!
And I've used the term "cheese eating surrender monkey" before I ever heard of Barry.
Criminally weak.
“The One” will be out of the country when we are attacked. Advanced warning and all that.......When he leaves on a round the world campaign tour head for your bomb shelter.)
Sure he’s popular with that herd of bureaucratic gold-diggers at the UN. He’s one of them. They figure with one of them in office they’ve hit the motherlode. They may be correct.
It’s interesting that he doesn’t care what Americans think of him. He only cares what the Nations of Islam care about him. He will attempt to destroy this country.
Attempt ? He just needs a little bit more time.And he will succeed where Carter failed. George Soros is a very happy man.
Keep an eye out for his next overseas appology trip.
