Europe falls out of love with Obama

Not that it matters, but it appears that Europe doesn’t like Obama any more. From the Telegraph:

George W. Bush may not have been the most popular figure in Europe when he was president, but at least he was respected by European leaders, and feared by his enemies. In contrast Barack Obama is not only disliked abroad, but also increasingly isolated among America’s allies, and viewed as weak by America’s adversaries. So much for Obama’s boast of “restoring” America’s standing in the world.

Maybe “restoring” was a misquote and Obama really said “destroying” America’s standing in the world. Lost in translation, perhaps.
