President Obama has failed to live up to the expectations he created in the Arab world, according to a new poll released by Zogby International and the Arab American Institute Foundation. The poll also noted that most Arab countries view the U.S. less favorably today than they did during the last year of the Bush administration.
“President Obama did not create the problems, but he created the expectation that the problems would be solved,” said James Zogby, president of the Arab American Institute. “He sent a number of signals early on that U.S. policy would change: in his inauguration speech, in his al-Arabiya interview, and in his appointment of [former Senate Majority Leader] George Mitchell as special envoy,” said Zogby. “By the time of his speech in Cairo, the favorable ratings of the U.S. were at their highest ever.”

What a riot.
All that hope and change is seen by middle easterners as so much garbage.
Good job, Mr. President!
Reinstate deep bowing.
Works every time.
But he is just like most of them—all talk.
After all that “outreach” to the muzzies I do find it amusing they hate America and 0bama just the same. However, I really don’t give two sh*ts whether those simian knuckledraggers “like” us. I’d rather they just feared us... right now they don’t.
But ObHamaSS tried hard to reach the muslim world and make an unholly alliance with it...He launched the current big mess in North-Africa and Middle-East and pleaded at the G8 to bailout the “arab-spring”...
That’s why the failure is bigger and we have not seen all the consequences yet....Wait a few month in Syriah, Lybia, Afghanistan, Irak....
What a difference a few years make.
In 2008, he had the mojo. He was going to make the world love us, put the world back to work, have us all wearing berets to our new jobs with the Obama logo on it, make the oceans stop rising, and heal the planet.
I remember telling my wife during the campaign that he was going to win. She was dismayed but I told her his fall will be as great as his rise
How do you drop below “Great Satan”?
