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.

To epeat what has been said in the past. HE LIES!!!!!!!!! He is the sorriest POS ever. He needs to MAN UP!
Those mindless moron’s are ONLY DISAPPOINTED because the sob hasn’t gone far enough, this pos has already done enough damage, but If re-elected………THIS SLUG WILL FINISH THE JOB, WILL NOT HAVE ANY OPPOSITION TO DO AS THIS FREAK DEEMS NECESSARY, TO COMPLETELY DISTROY EVERY THING THAT HAS TAKEN 230 TO BUILD, the good parts that is, the commies have been trying to undermine for decades.
Ya, I know I didn’t spell destroy correctly!!
I dont see why the Middle East is disapointed, O has the Muslim Brotherhood in just about all branches of Govt.
I been on the planet for 67 years and barf obummer is the worst president in recorded history. done nothing but destroy our bill of rights and go against everything he promised. if he gets in again I am going to move to canada. I cant watch america destroyed under his regime. adolf hitler revisited
That’s an understatement. And if he can get all the illegals voting, they can finish the destruction.
Why don’t we take the jobs away from illegals so they will self deport. Then deport the few who won’t self deport and replace them with law abiding hispanics who are waiting in line. Do we want more criminals or more law abiding citizens? Oh, by the way, the children of those criminals are being taught the same morality as their criminal parents. I’m NOT against hispanics — just law breaking ones.
