Yes he was Pen. If you will recall, the main thing that caused Obama to garner so much support from abroad, is that he was supposed to bring America more into line with the wants of other nations. Well, in that he may have done us some good, because I have noticed a marked decrease in the number of foreigners who believe that America moving toward lockstep with the rest of the world is a good thing. And, of course, it is not. In fact I can't help noticing how many people are suddenly concerned about the steps that have been taken since 9/11. And especially since Obama took office. More people in other countries are aware that Obama was the one to sign a lot of the things into law that Bush is taking heat for than there are in America. Perhaps a result of our biased media?

I would like to have seen the next logical step as well, which would be a shift away from the belief that it's okay for their own governments to move further to the left yet, but that has not been apparent. Is this the fault of a biased media in their respective nations?
