Around world, Obama's presidency a disappointment
By DON MELVIN and ROD McGUIRK
Associated Press
In Europe, where more than 200,000 people thronged a Berlin rally in
2008 to hear Barack Obama speak, there's disappointment that he hasn't
kept his promise to close the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, and
perceptions that he's shunting blame for the financial crisis across
the Atlantic.
In Mogadishu, a former teacher wishes he had sent more economic
assistance and fewer armed drones to fix Somalia's problems. And many
in the Middle East wonder what became of Obama's vow, in a landmark
2009 speech at the University of Cairo, to forge a closer relationship
with the Muslim world.
In a world weary of war and economic crises, and concerned about
global climate change, the consensus is that Obama has not lived up to
the lofty expectations that surrounded his 2008 election and Nobel
Peace Prize a year later. Many in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and
Latin America were also taken aback by his support for gay marriage, a
taboo subject among religious conservatives.
But the Democrat still enjoys broad international support. In large
part, it's because of unfavorable memories of his Republican
predecessor, George W. Bush, and many people would still prefer Obama
over his presumptive Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
"We all had high hopes for him," said Filomena Cunha, an office worker
in Lisbon, Portugal, who said she's struggling to make ends meet. "But
then things got bad and there's not much he can do for us over here."
Obama's rock-star-like reception at Berlin's Victory Column in the
summer of 2008 was a high point of a wildly successful European
campaign tour. The thawing of a harsh anti-Americanism that had
thrived in Europe was as much a reaction to the Bush years as it was
an embrace of the presidential hopeful.

obstructionism that Europe too has been taught to blame every American
failure on only one third of our government.

branch of psychology, not math. You are a case in point.
