Pres. Obama is doing a wonderful job. I am a republican and I love how the president is facing all the challeges that are facing our nation domestically and internationally with confidence and humility. "Humble yourself and God will lift you up" As long as he conside God first in all his decisions God will bless America plentifully.My fellow republican must all these arrogancy!!!

I would like to know why rep. refuse to blame their own

YES INDEEDY MR TWEDDY, MR PRESIDENT YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB. THE HATERS ONLY WISH BUSH COULD HOLD YOUR JOCK STRAP.

Simmy and Pat C. What was accomplished? He wanted combat troops for Afghanistan, didn't get it! He wanted Germany and France to increase their spending, didn't get it. North Korea defied him just like they did Clinton and Bush! Exactly what are we celebrating! I am not hating nor I am blaming Obama, this was he first meeting and it was a feel out period. I'm questioning those who are proclaiming success and are ready to party! We are going to pump $100 Billion into the International Monetary Fund! Where is this coming from? You want to throw a party, fine but at least have a reason!

Will they love America because President Obama says so many reasons why the world should hate us? Or will it be because he now likes using his middle name?

For everyone saying it our allies doesn't matter...you really are clueless aren't you? America is no longer the top country at everything as many of you seem to think, and being a superpower doesn't justify doing whatever the hell we want. Fear of us doesn't get us as far as you might think with other country's, especially when its gone past fear in some country's because of Bush, and gone to hate. Stop acting like we're the most amazing thing in the world, because we're falling behind, and thinking like that will keep that happening. Not seeing an instant increase in your bankroll doesn't mean he's not being successful too. We've been getting arrogant over the last few decades, and lost some of the key advantages we had because of that arrogance.

Wow. So this is what it's like to be a proud American! Haven't felt like this in ... eight years! It's so refreshing to have a president who listens! Who takes others opinions into account! Acknowledges mistakes! Who seeks to pursue the art of compromise!!

Kudos the President and Mrs. Obama for a job well done!

But are they excited about what he said?

I love how the American media has covered up the foreign press following Obama's overseas trip. One newspaper asked "Isn't it time for him to go home yet?" while another stated his speeches are boring, "he just drones on and on and on"

Mike Syracuse, NY April 7th, 2009 5:42 pm ET

Unfortunately Obama thinks that being a superpower is a popularity contest. I couldn't care less if the world likes us. I want our friends to respect us, and our enemies to fear us.

Our friends respect us and our enemies fear us when the world likes us.

this country is arrogant, especially when they refuse african americans, even in there low paying 8 dollar/ hr jobs,, these so called small busineeses would rather higher foriergners over blacks,,sad

@ Sniffit shouts,

"OBAMA WINS HEARTS AND MINDS."

LMAO... yeah... "hearts and minds"... but not the commitment from other countries to help in Afghanistan or to pony up $$ for world stimulus fund.

In other words – they're all glad America is being led by a pansy now who is interested in apologizing for American "arrogance" than calling out free nations on their DUTY to help prosecute the effort against terrorism.

America is feeling up beat because we have a President of action, not afraid to engage with the public and the world.

It is always something with the wingnuts.

First, they are upset that Obama names Kal Penn instead of a really terrible actor and insurrectionist Chuck Norris.

Then they downplay meeting with many of the countries who were our allies during the Korean conflict. He gets $1 trillion pledged by G20, and they call it a failure

Next they cry about the possibilty of reducing our ability to destroy the entire planet ten times over to maybe only eight times. Violate the truce of 1953 by blowing up N. Korea's on the launch pad.

With the incredibly shrinking numbers that support the right, you would think they would learn.

"Can Americans find each of those countries on an unlabeled map?"

I can say that most of the americans that wrap themselves up in their flag, holding their guns and their bibles and watching NASCAR probably cannot find those countries on a map. Of course they are mostly republicans also.

He needed to apologize for the American governments actions, not the American people. This should have been done a long time ago. We are not perfect and our government is not perfect. He is bringing back some of the respect we lost over the past few years. Get behind him people. He needs us now.

Our president is doing a fantastic job, in such a short time. I imagine the cognitive dissonance must be awful for so many republicans.

I bet all these negative comments are coming from you white people who feel the USA only belong to you white people. Please all you white haters get use too other races running the WHITE HOUSE from here on.

President Obama have opened the door for other races to become the President of the USA. It might been when hell freeze over before the USA see a WHITE PERSON RUNNING THE WHITE HOUSE. Other coutries are showing how much they like dealing with a President that is not WHITE! America is not the country for the good old white boys any more!

You haters are the cause of all this killing though out the USA. You haters need to realized the evilness you are speading are effecting the behavors of a lot of mentally ill people.

People tend to respect you more – when you aren't threatening them.

People will rationally discuss problems with you – if you are listening.

People will find ways to work with you – when you are willing to work with them.

The divisiveness, sour grapes and anger from the right is because the political earth has shifted from under their feet and they, like the dinosaurs, when faced with a markedly and rapidly changing world have only two choices, either rapid evolution – or extinction.

Mr. Obama is President of all of the USA and has brought honor and dignity to that position.

Everyone loves Obama in Europe/Asia. Why? They know that they will kick our @ss. They know they have never had the opportunity before. Let's lay down. Even actor Kal Penn who recently left the FOX program "House" has joined the action. Maybe Barrack Hussein Obama will follow the way Penn left "House"

Mike,

The problem with your statement is that during the Bush administration even a lot of our allies didn't respect us.

At least now most if not all of those allies respect us a lot more and I think that with President Obama much more willing to work with other countries and much more willing to compromise than his predecessor that more and more countries will respect us and we need that desperately!

What a great survey! Completely irrelevant and a complete waste of time to poll... but hey, it's some great trivial information!

Results from the next survey soon to come:

How do Americans feel about cats with 6 or more toes on one paw?

Sorry.. the fact that some of these surveys are even held just astonishes me sometimes.

I am hoping President Obama will take a few days at Camp David. I, for one, am tired just trying to keep up with everything he is accomplishing.

We have a LEADER - one who, unlike our last president, puts himself in front of the people he is leading freely, openly and often.

Unbelievable. Fantastic. Just don't burn out!!! There's a very big list of very big messes that require cleanup.

God Bless Barack Obama

just saw the President's approval rating is at 66%
the GOP approval rating is 31%

and you righties keep whining on these websites but it appears your whining is either falling on death ears or just only in your own circles.

Nice of him to tour the world with his tail between his legs apologizing to every tom dick and abdul he meets..... all while North Korea is testing missles and Iran is receving money to get nukes....He's a real modern day Niro......get your fiddle out Barack.......IDIOT

We are in an economic race for survival and without reaching out to our friends and enemies we cannot succeed. Revenue and human life is economically collateral damage caused by wars.

Watching President Obama deal with the dozens of situations, including public presentations - and make his way within a community of international leaders with grace and ease ...

what a contrast with his predecessor.

I don't doubt that some genuinely nasty situations are going to arise in the future - situations that will require backbone and maturity to deal with.

I think I am going to be satisfied. Frankly, I don't think we have ever had a chief executive with such energy, such a steep learning curve, and such natural leadership qualities.

I am almost looking forward to the time when we get to see what Obama is really made of. I think he is going to be flat out impressive.

It is SOOO nice to feel good every day that we are extricating ourselves, bit by bit, from the crap that the idiots who have been in power, have gotten us into.

Proud. Go Mr. President.

Obama is addicted to applause.

way to go Mr President -everybody in so many places stand to benefit!!

Sniffit give me a break! When do you dems stop comparing Bush to Obama? I swear you libs are so obsessed with Bush that you have lost all of your objectivity about the issues.
The US President has always had the ability to persuade other Governments. This is not unique to Obama. But hey you can continue to talk about Obama's potential all you like. Eventualy we will need to see some results and so far there is no evidence that Obama’s International influence has created any benefit for our Country.
I hope he is able to persuade North Korea to not bombing us, because when he strips away our missile defense all we will have is his "charm."

He promised a stern response to N. Korea if they launched and then did nothing. Why should Iran, N. Korea, Syria or even Al Qaeda and the Taliban take him seriously????? This is the first woos president since Carter. Plus with those ears, he looks like Alfred E........

We, Americans have two choices. We can continue to be arrogant (there is a difference between being best and arrogant) and continue to insult everyone else or we can be best, be leader and be friendly with others. Considering human race can only survive by being social and not in isolation, i believe we are walking in right direction after a long time. Imagine how you are going to survive if you tell all your neighbors that you are better than all of them and you don;t care about them unless they agree with you all the time.

President Obama is trying to mend relationships with even our allies. Some Americans fail to realize (the Republicans) that under the Bush Error, our allies such as England and Australia hated us. Tony Blair suffered greatly for supporting the unjust war in Iraq and the people hated him for it. Ditto for the PM in Australia.

P.S. Republicans who are so 'Christian' are always the ones who want to bully and show our military prowess to the world. I cannot for the life of me understand how the party of so-called Christians can be so hateful and war-happy.

Americans have positive view of major US allies but they have NEGATIVE views about USA. Europeans has a new name for Obama WINDBAG-IN-CHIEF. They call him a bore, they said his canned speeches are getting old. They said he can't answer a simple question and often very evasive when asked.

UK couldn't stand Gordon Brown, he banckrupted their economy, their british pound now have lost 30% of its value and their equity is NEGATIVE.

A lot of you people don't know how to read and when you do, you don't understand what you're reading. In the Middle East alone there are many rallies against Obama, a Syrian national pretending to belong to the press even want to assassinate him, that says a lot eh?

There is a reason why our country is in the shape it is in, some people are so negative they don't know how to be happy anymore, all they see is the negative in any situation. It is sad because we live in one of the most properous countries in the world, we have our freedom and a wonderful president to be proud of and all you can do is complain about what he didn't do, what is wrong with you people, do you enjoy being hateful, what happened in your life to make you this way? I know we are in a recession, but you can see the light at the end of the tunnel if you look for it. And by the way, I work everyday, I own my on home, I am college educated, I believe in the death penalty and the right to own arms,.I was also born in the south, I have never been on welfare or any other social program in my life.

Just an aknowledment that Mr. Obama is doing a good job representing America's image around the world. Some people may not agree with his policies but that's another matter. Overall he is trying his best. That's all I can hope for and I am greatful for that.

THE STATE OF ALASKA COULD BE FAR BETTER WITH A SOLID AND INTELLIGENT GOVERNOR AT THE HELM. THAT SAID,I BELIEVE SARAH PALIN SHOULD BE KICKED OUT OF THERE FOR WASTING THE STATE'S TIME AND MONEY.

Barack Obama is the BEST. A great President.

Guys what a imprecive comments I have been reading here. To behonest everything will be fine now in the world not only in US, But in the world too. President Obama knows who're the devils. But the president wants to call them on the tables first, if they don't listen then, his ready to give them what they want.
Now on to Hannity and co of FOXNEWS. Did this peope realy love there country????????? I don't think so. Hannity is the king of hate preacher. I am a white. and I want Obama to succeed. But him Hannity keep blackmailing the new president for just nothing. All hannity,Rush,O'reliy and Becks is to Mr President to fail and fall. That won't happen. The president want to reintall our relationship with the rest of the world. But this FOXNEWS HATE PREACHER DOES OT WANTS THAT TO HAPPEN. God Bless Obamas and America.

One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Thank you Mr. President.

@Sniffit

"OBAMA WINS HEARTS AND MINDS"

I think what you mean to say is "Obama wins the hearts and minds of the gullible."

Those with brains see right through his tactics, unlike you who still has a "crush" on the man Obama, prohibiting you from seeing the mistakes he is making.

"I want our friends to respect us, and our enemies to fear us." – Mike Syracuse, NY

How typical .... American's don't like being told what to do, but they are the first to demand respect from others even if it alienates their Allies. This was Bush's approach to everything, and in the end it has severely hurt this country's ability to fight its enemy's because we no-longer have our friends around to help us.

President Ovbama realizes that strength comes from recognizes and admitting your mistakes and in doing so change your course.

Weakness is ignoring your mistakes and pretending no one has noticed. It is a course for failure as seen by the Bush administration.
No Republican could have accomplished what President Obama has done in eight days especially someone like Mike who thinks America is a superpower rather than a leader.

I agree with Spencer from VA as Canada, your largest trading partner and greatest supplier of natural resources,has lost more soldiers in Afghanistan per capita than any other nation including America.

Your arrogance at overlooking us is why so many of us heartly support our gov't's move for a free trade agreement with the European Union and more trade with China.

Good first trip. I am certain other nations would be happy to host Barack...and of course, the most enchanting Ms. Michelle.

We were very positive...

Kinda hoping he'd pick one of them and stay there....

I notice you don't mention Iraq.

What's the matter, that doesn't fit in with your political agenda?

Communist News Network

It sounds like the folks on the Obama haters club are just beside themselves, since stupid and reactionary is no longer the official policy of the white house.

Good job Mr Obama, no one is mad but the devil.....

More Obama DISTRACTIONS with another false poll. Mark this day in HIstory, Biden says we are more safe today than anytime during the Bush administration, Ha Ha if you believe that then I have some swamp land I want to sell. With Obama, Gates and the rest of the Demoncrates cutting defense and spending all the money and getting friendly with the muslim, taliban and others you think we are safer, not a chance Biden.

I am so proud of the way Obama and Michelle represented the best of America and the best that America can be. I believe wholeheartedly that he will make this world safer. (There will always be extremists who hate America) but it is still critical to listen to the needs and concerns of other country leaders. As they say, you attract more bees with honey. Obama is the essense of intelligence and positivity. It may take awhile, but America's best days may be yet to come!

The world loves Barack Obama because he represents the cosmopolitan, multicultural direction the world is headed in – not the Wild West politics of division and unilateral bullying that Bush/Cheney represent (or the pre-Islamic feudal tyrannies that AlQaeda and the Talban are). America looks as if it is finally joining the rest of the world instead of insisting everyone provide a mirror image to what America likes to think it is. It's time to say goodbye to Hollywood cowboys from Ronald Reagan to George W. Bush and learn to live in the world as it is – not as some frontier fantasy where good guys and bad guys gun each other down, and anyone else who gets in their way. America is becoming a little bit more like it's ally to the north – the Great White North that is – Canada!!!

The simple minded Obama haters refuse to give prop's when due. Look at the results of the incompetetent Bush adminstration.

-No OBL caught (de
-Economic mess
-Had to duck a shoe

Yeah, how about a mention for Canada? What does it mean when Canada doesn't register; taking us for granted, hmph?

P.S. – I think the U.S. and Britain are Canada's favorite ; ) friend

Thanks for electing President Obama! America is Great!

I'm sorry, but did Canada, the largest US trading partner not even merit being included in the poll? Let's not forget America, Canadian, not German or French troops are fighting and dying alongside US forces in Southern Afghanistan.

Go ahead: claim that all he's doing is continuing to campaign. I like when you GOPers do that. See, he's good at it. Scary good at it. On November 4, 2008, you GOPers found out, much to your chagrine and continued tears, just how good at it he. Go ahead, ask Hillary how good at campaigning he is. OBAMA WINS HEARTS AND MINDS. That, more than anything Bush ever did or was able to do, is going to be the key to pressuring world leaders, thru their Obama-adoring populaces, to support our efforts in Afghanistan and the middle east and with North Korea and a whole host of other projects in the realm of foreign relations. All you wannabe cowboys have it completely backwards.

"Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?"
-Abraham Lincoln

You Americans (Reps) still dont get it!

Barack Obama did extreemly well last week.
1 trilion for a world economy stimulus.
Brake down of nucliar weapens.
Mediating between Turkey and Armenia.
All G=20 leaders tell us Obama inspired them.
Your young man and woman in Iraq loves and respect
Barack so much more then they did G. Bush
He truly is a world leader and a very hard worker.
Be proud America, you finaly got yourself a great President.
In 4 years he has urned a place on Mount Rushmore and
in 8 year America and the world is crying when he leaves office.

Come on CNN let it go!!!!!!!!

Am so jealous of America. Obama is gonne be the best president and the most loved.

I can say this and l live in Norway.

Can those poeple surveyed find those countries on a map?

Nice trip, but why did you leave sec of defense behind?

President Obama has made many Americans proud of his overseas trip. He and First Lady Michelle have represented our country very well in the global community.

God bless America and the new administration!

Yes indeed. Other than the hate mongers and by nature pessimistic people.

We have to be positive. That does not mean we think that everything is fixed and the bad that the previous administration has done to our country is all ok now but we are positive for we have hope. Obama brings us hope.

Oooops, Fox News will hate me now....

Again...Obama has pulled America out of the Bush Year Slums and we are headed to world Peace with High Heads and Dignity ! Great Job New Adminstration !

Now the real question:

Can Americans find each of those countries on an unlabeled map?

Unfortunately Obama thinks that being a superpower is a popularity contest. I couldn't care less if the world likes us. I want our friends to respect us, and our enemies to fear us.

i am very proud of what our president has accomplished during his trip. he has so much to clean up after the way george bush ruined our reputation around the world.lets not forget dick chaney either folks. it took great courage to say an do the things barak obama has done in his first 70 days as our leader. his vision,energy and brillance will soon put us back in good graces with the world once more. i am so proud to be an american and to have such a wonderful president watching out for our interest for a change.
thank you president obama and GOD bless you!

And the spoilers continue to lament their demise. Don't hate – celebrate. Yay President Obama! A job well done.......They can't touch it!

It is not where he went that bothers me. It is what he said when he got there. I don’t really care to have him apologizing to every one for America’s past actions that offended them for what ever reason. The country of France offends me but I don’t expect an apology from them. How they run their country is their business and if it works for them, fine. Obama is the leader of the largest country of the free world. He must be able to make an un-popular decision and not worry that some 3rd ranked country gets their feelings hurt. If its best for America and best for the world, then too bad. I am tired of feeling like the worlds door mat.

When I look back at Obama's trip to Europe, and his speeches about missle testing and its consequences, that "words must mean something" and "violations must be punished", I cannot help but remember Churchill's statement after the Munich accords: we have been thoroughly defeated.

It's all going to be ok. If they don't like us, he'll just explain how arrogant we've been until he graced the White House. The world will love us bowing down to them. This is going to be a great 4 years.

O came away with literally nothing over the last week. Just a terrible first effort.

positive about what....so now the eceonomy is all of a sudden ok..he hasnt accomplished anything yet to make a difference

BHO's recent brutally hectic tour of trans-atlantic countries, indeed, has rachetted up Americans' views about those nations, favorably, by several notches, . Sounded like a lot of geography and history lessons to some of us.

Let's not forget Canada people.

Well they should like us now too.... Obama said he's sorry about America enough... maybe with a back rub, an IPOD and a couple DVDS (get the Euopean ones) he could get Iran and N Korea to love us as well... LOL
