Meanwhile, in other excellent news, a new BBC survey finds, “For the first time since the annual poll began in 2005, America’s influence in the world is now seen as more positive than negative.” The BBC attributes this to “Barack Obama becoming president.” As always, I wouldn’t expect all the “nattering nabobs of negativity” out there (e.g., Eric Cantor, John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck) to give Barack Obama credit for this. But I will, and I hope you will too, because he definitely deserves it. Nice work, keep it up!
