Obama also has improved some strained relations, notably with Russia. That, and especially Obama's decision to abandon plans for a ballistic missile defense system in Eastern Europe, likely helped bring Russia aboard in pressuring Iran to open a secret nuclear facility to international inspection.

Who said Russia was "aboard"? Are they dreaming?

The article states, “”The image of the United States has improved markedly in most parts of the world, reflecting global confidence in Barack Obama,” the Pew Research Center said this summer after polling 24 countries. “In many countries, opinions of the United States now are about as positive as they were at the beginning of the decade, before George W. Bush took office.”

“The Trusts (which originally was conservative based) also funds the Pew Research Center, the third-largest think tank in Washington DC, after the Brookings Institution and the Center for American Progress.”

Then I found an article which states..”Since 1996, one foundation alone (the Pew Charitable Trusts) has poured over $40 million into Tides.”

ABC News at the time estimated the cost of that trip at $50 million.

With each passing day, and every event which happens, this administration of awful amateurs reminds me more & more of an eerie meld of:

Nice of him to be so aware of the deep recession. Every one else uses webinars, video- and tele-conferences instead of travel these days...no time, no money.

But not our “Leader”.
