Ive been reading this utter fiction about how Obama has ruined alliances in the conservative MSM and on the internet since Obama got elected. The facts are the exact opposite, of course. US allies hated Bush's foreign policies and alliances crumbled and were badly damaged all over the world, with the Bush admin actually publicly insulting their allies (Old Europe etc). This is the truth about how the world, beyond the local mall in the ignorant flyover states of USA, actually sees Obama

As President Obama and Mitt Romney prepare for a Monday debate on foreign policy and polls show the Republican challenger with a real chance of victory in two weeks, many observers abroad are saying: Wait, what? ... In Western Europe, few people can imagine Romney in office ... In Europe, leaders have good reason to avoid the issue: From the Scottish Highlands to the heel of Italy, it’s Obama country all the way ... The gulf between the Republican Party and British Conservatives was clearly on display during Romney’s visit to London ahead of the 2012 Olympics, when his suggestion that the city wasn’t quite prepared to host the Games generated stinging rebukes from Cameron and London Mayor Boris Johnson, a fellow Conservative.
