Only nine months ago, when he addressed an estimated 200,000 people in Germany, Barack Obama was heralded as "president of the world."And that's just the beginning. Read the whole thing...it's absolutely astounding. Yet another first for Obama - never in the history of this country has one person managed to alienate so many, so quickly. Whew...we sure dodged a bullet with this guy...just imagine how bad it would be if we hadn't elected the guy who promised to vastly improve our image and relationships globally! Is dangerous incompetence an impeachable offense?
But now that he's president of the United States, the world doesn't appear to be following up on its endorsement.
From France to Poland, from the Czech Republic to China, many nations are rebuffing the president and offering little wiggle room for him to negotiate economic and security policies.
Obama faces his first major international test next week when the world's largest economies meet at the G20 summit in London.
"I think as the president heads to Europe, he faces a huge public relations disaster," said Nile Gardiner, director of the conservative Heritage Foundation's Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom.
"Europe is increasingly turning against his massive spending plans, which most European leaders see as a destructive way to move forward for the global economy and will only add to a massive American debt burden," Gardiner told FOXNews.com.
"At the same time, there is a growing impression across Europe that the Obama administration is inept and inefficient and increasingly poorly managed."
A top European Union politician on Wednesday slammed Obama's plans for the U.S. to spend its way out of recession as "a way to hell."

Hey, America! We're mad as hell and we're not gonna take it anymore!
That seems to be the gist of the global response to Obama and Company. With the G20 summit scheduled for London next week, President Hopenchange is not the most popular guy on the invite list. Fox News is reporting that the "president of the world" may be in big trouble internationally.
