Why Is America's Reputation Improving?
How much credit does Obama deserve?
In today's Data Points, we report on a new poll showing that the United States's reputation has shot up in many countries between November 2008 and April of this year. Many others polls—for example, this one—show similar trends. Why is the U.S. 's reputation improving? How much does this have to do with President Obama's efforts at reshaping America's image? How much credit, if any, does he deserve? Post your thoughts.

World's View of Obama
If you can assume that because G.W. was "suspicious or indifferent to ALL cultures that weren't his own", then you would have no problem in accepting my observation that it should be clear to everyone that OBAMA hates America because he spent so much time abroad and covorted with communists and terrorists, correct Jim Phillips of Georgia? You must be some sort of clairvoyant that seems to think he knows what the rest of the world is thinking. Have you caught the video of world leaders at the G20 Summit REFUSING to shake Obama's extended hand?!
Yup. They love this guy!
obama
Because we elected Obama, and he's black. Period. Unfortunately there is no other reason.
Did ANYONE read the "polls"?
Arab countries believe we're better? GREAT !
Anyone check out the BBC lately or see that even our English "cousins" are swinging back RIGHT?
You know RIGHT...as in "correct"!
Counter Socialism ! The Anti-Obama.
Ignore history and repeat the same mistakes...
