Germans Increasingly Disillusioned with Obama "Germans were ecstatic when Barack Obama took over the keys to the White House from George W. Bush. Now, though, a new Pew Research Center survey shows that disillusionment with the US president is widespread in Germany and that Obama has not lived up to the high expectations Europeans had of him."
International approval of US President Barack Obama's foreign policy has dropped sharply during his term in office "Among the 21 countries surveyed, the largest drop in approval - from 57% to 27% - was seen in China, the Global Attitudes Project reveals."
...."Despite these numbers, confidence in Mr Obama remains high among US allies, especially in Europe." Well, apparently except for the Germans.
"In predominantly Muslim nations, American anti-terrorism efforts are still widely unpopular. And in nearly all countries, there is considerable opposition to a major component of the Obama administration’s anti-terrorism policy: drone strikes."
