Really happy to read this and many of the responses down-thread
Counteracts the BS from a "friend" who posted about how Obama's US foreign policy is a disaster & the world doesn't take us seriously or something equally stupid, and how Romney would have been great for foreign policy.
Of course, that's because he's decided, with his conversion to Orthodox Judaism, that part of being a good Orthodox Jew is to worship Binyamin Netanyahu. He hates Obama for not running US foreign policy based on what's best for Likud's view of Israel.
Danke sehr for a reasonable picture of how the world REALLY views Obama & US foreign policy.

Both sides of my German ancestry thank you. She's lived through a lot. God bless her.

If Romney had won the rest of the world would have had a harder time getting rid of their right wing
