I'm sure, some Americans that realize that America isn't the only place on Earth sometimes wonder why majority of the world hates us. Well, given my current place of employment, I've been blessed with the chance to ask (mainly Australians, English, and New Zeland..ers) what they hate us (as a whole, not as an individual). Of course there's man answers, however, the most common one is politics.
Let's start it up with more recent stuff. Now, of course when Obama was elected, the worlds approval rating of America went up, drastically. And if you're wondering, they're image of us was ruined by Bush. But, never-the-less, they loved us when we voted us in. The world LOVES Obama. Every country around the world backs Obama to the fullest. Why do you think he's doing so good with Foreign Affairs? Now, here's why the world hates us......ready........we dislike Obama (as a whole, not individually). But why? The main reason is, all the people that said they had his back, all the people that said he was our savior, all the people that said they'd do everything in their power to help Obama succeed, all the people that said "for this country to work, we need to operate as ONE not multiple parties", all the people that agreed it was time for a change (and had the power to help) ALL TURNED THEIR BACKS ON HIM!!!!! In other words, it's because he's black. That's right, I just basically called our government (or at least people with power) racist. However, given that majority of people don't watch the news or follow politics, they don't realize that this is going on, in our faces. To them, all that's happening is that "change" isn't happening fast enough in a world that's so accustomed to instant gratification. So to us Americans (as a whole) he's failing in our eyes. Which isn't the case, he's doing all he can. Don't forget about all the problems he inherited. But instead of all this, our approval rating of him falls, instead of us going to the government and pleading for them to help Obama help us. Why is it that people in other countries realize this, yet people in his own country show him NO love!? I wish I knew.
Another reason why other countries hate us is......we voted in Bush....... twice.
So, basically, they all think we're idiot cowboys that think we know everything when we actually know nothing.
