NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - The United States is the most admired country globally thanks largely to the star power of President Barack Obama and his administration, according to a new poll.
He believes that during the previous administration of George W. Bush the United States suffered in the world ranking with its unpopular foreign policies but since Obama was elected, and despite the recent economic turmoil, the country's status has risen globally.

My daughter formerly lived in the Meyerland section of Houston. In 2003 a young couple employed by Reuters moved into a house a few doors down from my daughter’s house.

The couple turned out to be ultra-liberal know-it-alls. In 2004 they put up a huge Kerry sign in their front yard, and needless to say, they were not invited to any more of my daughter’s annual Christmas parties.

Great! Now let’s turn all the love into something tangible like, say, getting the Olympics sited here in America somewhere...ooops...wait.
That’s my main problem with liberals. They know everything. The rest of us are dummies. They know what is best for us. We’re too stupid to know.
Maggots are gagging across the planet.
I don’t really care if they think they know everything, as long as they don’t try and force me to do what they think is best. But of course, they always do. Thus the reason I despise them!
Should have been a “BARF ALERT” in the title.
DUH! It was a MEGA!!!
So lets see;
1) We`re still in Iraq.
2) We`re still in Afghanistan.
3) Gitmo is still open.
I could go on and on. But just because of The One, we`re suddenly the most admired. Uh, huh.
