Obama, we believe in thee.  It seems that reality is slowly creeping in to the mind of the man who came on a horse named "Change".  Just a few months in, the President is witnessing the harsh realities of the world.  He is learning that despite his election and massive campaign rallies, people around the world are protesting and (surprise, surprise) they still hate America.  The last eight years led many, especially Obama, to believe that the world did not hate America, they just hated George W. Bush.  Well, it seems that the protests abroad have not subsided, only slightly switched demographics.  Instead of seeing Muslims in the mideast protest against America every day, we now see Europeans and Russians protesting every day.  Add to this the continual Tea Party Protests occuring across our Country, and you get a universal harmony which comes a bit short from the Utopia promised to us by Obama.  The President has ended the War on Terror yet he continues an "Overseas Contingency Operation" because those darn terrorists just don't seem to realize that Obama is the President and they can stop hating America now.  The United States which used to maintain a strong presence in the world, now seems to become a running joke amongst hostile Nations.  North Korea obviously does not think much of Obama's threats over their missile launch, and they were proven to be right.  After all the rhetoric and warnings, North Korea is still going to launch the missile test  and we are going to roll over and smile as they do it.  Obama is meeting with Russian President Medvedev at the G20 summit to try and improve relations.  They will smile and shake hands, and then Medvedev will return to his Country which is hanging on by a thread and continue the scapegoating of the evil Americans.  Obama's efforts in Russia will be as useful as his efforts in Iran.  No matter how "nice" we are to them, these Nations will continue to hate us because as long as their Governments can blame their problems on us, their people will be distracted away from the failings of their own Leaders.  European Leaders, mostly extreme left-wingers by American standards, are almost unanimously against Obama's economic recovery plans.  It's not that I believe that the career politicans leading Europe know more than a one-term Senator and Community Organizer from Chicago, it's just that I think the Leaders of Europe (who don't have our finances) are reluctantly restricted by logic in finding solutions to the economic mess.  Obama the saviour, who wanted to turn America into the shining light and beacon of hope in the world once again, is instead turning us into the misguided, laughed at, wrecking ball, Paris Hilton of the world.
