Libya is an important issue, and I am against US meddling, but it is one of many things I consider when voting just like the Iraq war was only one issue of many when I was voting in 2004 and 2008.

All of these are hugely important. There are even more issues that effect my vote on the state and local level.

Good job deflecting and distorting. You should be proud.

FYI, that was 47% positive about the USA and 25% negative of respondents in more than 100 countries, about 2 to 1 of those that did answer...

That is better that any other major power and much better (about 14%) that during Bush II. Exactly what Bob said, more people love obama.

no shocker, I'm betting it will be a walk over... I think the GOP will be putting up another Bob Dole in 2012.

It amazes me that irrespective of how poorly this president performs, he still has supporters (aka useful idiots) . What has he actually accomplished to date that is positive for this country? Absolutely nothing. He has even thrown his own supporters under the bus. Yet knowing this they still support him. I can respect someone that supports a basic ideology, but when you support it irrespective of the outcome and consequence to your country, I have to shake my head.

He's the best hope that we have. I shudder to think what would happen if we handed the Presidency and congress over to the republicans. It would be the most anti-middle class regime in history. More of our jobs would go overseas as the politicians serve their corporate masters. Obama's not perfect, but he was handed the biggest financial mess since the Great Depression. Nobody should expect instant results.
I will cast my vote for Pres Obama again, unless Ron Paul or Huntsman are the candidates. Voting for anyone in Tex doesn't matter since it is so deeply Republican.

It amazes me that irrespective of how bad the republican candidates are, there are some Americans (aka useful idiots) who will still insist that they will vote for anybody, rather than vote for Obama.

If the current slate of wackos and wing nuts is the best the republican party can do, then, yes, I will vote again for Pres. Obama.

He is EVERYTHING I could ever hope for in a president ... and then some!

I can not imagine anyone I would want in the White House more than Barack Obama!

I will vote for him again in a heartbeat!

Sarcasm has its place, and certainly you have discovered its purpose.
