No, it's not all rosy (odonnel?) but my personal feeling is we are in an infinitely better position than we were with Bush and Rumsfeld and Cheney ....
Better reputation/relations to much of the rest of the world....

Lets explore this. Better reputation/relations?
Mexico isn't too happy with us right now because we are having the audacity to try and seal the borders, and kick out the illegals that are here, sucking up health care and food stamps, and education. Oh, wait, thats Arizona they aren't happy with, we're actually doing something about it.........Obama (and to be fair, his predecessors) just want to talk about it.
Supposedly they are doing jobs Americans won't do. THAT must be why the guy I hired to cut some trees down is having to stop advertising in Peoria, and having to hire more people because he actually pays his people a decent wage, and is booked weeks ahead.
Do you suppose that if agriculture would do the same, there might not be such a problem? I'd gladly pay a little more for strawberries knowing I wasn't eating something harvested by underpaid, overworked, taken advantage of illegals.
Venezuela, Iran, North Korea........they're not too happy with us either. Hmmm. Wonder what we could do to make that better. Obama feels that if he talks long enough, he'll change their mind. Do you not realize he's a joke, and they are laughing their asses off at him and us?
so......who is it that likes us better again? Is it Iraq? I don't think so.
Tell me.....where are we more 'liked'?
