Even with President Barack Obama fresh off a trip to Africa and headed in late summer for a trip to Russia, people outside the United States take a less favorable view of America than they did right after he became president.
Surveys from different parts of the world show the initial goodwill toward the U.S. from the international community after Obama assumed office has waned and recent headlines point to some reasons why -- Revelations of U.S. international surveillance, the manhunt of information leaker Edward Snowden, drone strikes in foreign countries and the continued unrest in Syria have exposed the traditional fault lines of international relations.
The ebbing of world regard for the United States since 2009 was predicable given the extravagant expectations that people in some countries had of Obama when he was first elected.

I believe this news calls for an official boo-freaking-hoo.
The man is a moron, but who knows how many decades or centuries it will take for history to acknowledge that?
Correct. The rest of us don't deserve the blame. Maybe the rest of the world is finally figuring out, what we all have known for years. He and his minions are egg sucking dog liberal Marxists.
MOSCOW, February 1 (RIA Novosti) US President Barack Obama is unlikely to visit Russia until September, when he is due to attend the G20 leaders' summit in St. Petersburg, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday.
Their vessel underfloweth.
Their bucket got a hole in it.
My mistake. I ass u med he was headed there as an extension of THIS trip.
I should have realized.....
Poor ‘Hopium addicts!
Detox is the price of addiction ......
Obama’s and the USA image hasn’t slipped in the world, its crashed and burned!!! The entire world is laughing at the USA for electing this moron, buffoon as POTUS!!! Our enemies, Obama is one, are having a field day making light and fun of our idiot POTUS!!! And...add that dimwit John Kerry to the mix and you have Dumb and Dumber running the foriegn policy show!!! Wonder when America will ever wake up to this flim/flam charade called Obama. At least the Egyptian public said enough is enough!!! At least the Egyptians have a backbone and spine that functions. Shame on you Americans, for just standing by and letting this America destroyer do his work for Satan!!!
I guess it WAS poorly worded, The author should have written “will be headed” or similar instead of “headed” — which implies it is occurring in the present.
My kids will be going to summer camp later this summer. I personally would not say they are headed there until they get on the bus. Others might use ‘headed’ to indicate sort of an orientation to do something. But that results in lack of clarity as you discovered.
Obamanism is a cult of personality practiced only by the most ignorant and simple minded among us.
LOL....great signs! The Egyptians are certainly sharper than Americans in figuring out our empty suit of a president. It’s great to have the internet so that the Obama lap dogs in our press cannot hide the lousy image their hero has all over the world.
Isn't that what Reggie Love is for?
If Obama’s demise caused them to lower their opinion of the USA then I’m all for it.
US image in world slips as conflicts deflate Obama euphoria
That should read:
US image in world slips as obama deflates obama euphoria
Wrong. The world hated the US after GWB invaded Iraq on the WMD lie. Did all you Progresso's forget the last lie you all sucked up from the totalitarians teat ? So if the world hated the US after GWB, and they now think lower of the US, where does that leave the US with Obama in charge ? At war with the entire World.
Obama is 100% behind the ban on DDT.
"We can't have you black Africans multiplying like rats! We can do something about blacks in America - we kill half of them before they are born and are working on the other half. But we can't force you to do that here. So we will allow malaria to kill you by the millions!"
Buuuump!
