Any tangible or measurable accomplishment you can point out?
You listed like the same sort of nonsense that the day dreamers justified their votes with.
Are you saying the whole world is that shallow?
The poster asked what he had done for others around the world to like us better, and I posted them. It's pretty straight forward. The world saw Bush as an arrogant jerk, bully boy and war monger who thumbed his nose at the UN while dismissing diplomacy, killing hundreds of thousands in the process.
If you are calling common decency, diplomacy and graciousness "shallow" then it's probably impossible to get somebody like you to understand. Put simply, if the rest of the world prefers Obama, which they do, there is a reason for that. Those reasons (some of them) have been posted here right now. You can have some tiny little epiphany this morning and realize the majority of the world doesn't embrace your cowboy chest beating jingoism, or continue to live your delusion, I could care less.
I know it's hard for some to imagine - especially those who have an irrational hatred for Obama - but it doesn't take a lot for the U.S. to gain respect from other countries. If we show some respect for them, they'll show respect for us. This is something that George W. Bush never accepted.
Was there an asnwer to my questions in there?
If there was, I missed it.
I kept it pretty simple for you folk.

Agreed. The U.S. is the most admired country again, and they won't accept it simply because Obama is the President. So petty.
I think it's true: They not only want Obama to fail, they want the U.S. to fail as long as he's in charge.

Ok you got nothin either.
I do get a chuckle out of your hyperbole.
"What’s really remarkable is that in all my years studying national reputation, I have never seen any country experience such a dramatic change in its standing as we see for the United States in 2009,” explains Simon Anholt, NBI founder and an independent advisor to over a dozen national governments around the world."
"The results suggest that the new U.S. administration has been well received abroad and the American electorate’s decision to vote in President Obama has given the United States the status of the world’s most admired country.”

This reminds me of those "city vs city" threads, or "My city is more diverse than yours." LOL
