Kofi Annan was on Charlie Rose (on PEE BEE ESS, y'all) just this last Monday night, peddling his pabulum-book, and Charlie asked him that very same question.
Kofi Annan says, unequivocally (unusually for him, that's how I knew he was really wrong, as opposed to just normally corrupt, buttheaded, and wrong), that Barack Obama has improved the U.S. image in the world and ended the "cowboy" foolishness of American Exceptionalism.
Kofi said it, Charlie believed it, and hey, I bellyfeel it too. Doubleplusgood prolefeed, Kofi -- thanks everso!
You corrupt little POS.
