The rest of the world hinges on foreign policy and his foreign policy is screwed up.

The Economist's "Global vote" allows everyone on the planet to cast a ballot for the next leader of the free world. After all, who becomes the American president has global implications: isn't letting only Americans vote a tad parochial? So far, three-fourths of Economist.com readers prefer Mr Obama. Supporters of the Republican candidate Mitt Romney hail mainly from Asia and and Africa. Readers who haven't yet voted are strongly encouraged to do so, since though Mr Obama seem on course to win, the percentage of the victory and countries that swing Republican are interesting signals about politics aroudn the world (at least for what it says about The Economist's website visitors).

Yeah the economist has also used the price of a Big Mac around the world to rank economies. Take it for whatever you think its worth.
 
"The world" probably would not have the best interests of America in mind in selecting our President... that is one reason they don't get the priviledge.
