Obama's election and foreign policy moves caused a dramatic improvement in the image of the U.S. around the world. A 25-nation poll of 27,000 people released in July by the Pew Global Attitudes Project found double-digit boosts to the percentage of people viewing the U.S. favorably in countries around the world. That indicator had plunged across the world under President George W. Bush.

I dunno. Leading the the most powerful country in the world away from racist partisan stupidity, and working to regain the trust of the rest of the free world while on his campaign trips around the world is a pretty good reason.
But I guess when people like living in denial and reveling in latent racist hostility, there will always be opposition to progress.

Seems kind of early in his administration to be lobbing international awards at him already, but at least creating more favorable impressions of the US around the world will give a boost to fears of an impending Islamo-Marxist world government.
