All that ass-kissing and appeasement to the Muslim world and nothing to show for it. Looks like another Obama policy failure. FromBreitbart.com<http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.476064a6abfc51e0845ef12e7f2241a7.131&show_article=1> *The image of the United States <http://topics.breitbart.com/United+States/>has soured in Muslim nations <http://topics.breitbart.com/Muslim+nations/> in the past year, says a poll released two days before President Barack Obama<http://topics.breitbart.com/Obama/> is due to deliver a speech on the pro-democracy revolts sweeping the Arab world.* Only in Indonesia, <http://topics.breitbart.com/indonesia/> the world's most populous Muslim nation <http://topics.breitbart.com/Muslim+nation/> where Obama <http://topics.breitbart.com/Obama/> spent part of his childhood, does a majority have a favorable view of the United States,<http://topics.breitbart.com/United+States/>says the poll by the Pew Research Center. <http://topics.breitbart.com/Pew+Research+Center/> But even the number of Indonesians with a favorable view of the United States <http://topics.breitbart.com/United+States/>was down by five percentage points from 59 percent in 2010. *The Pew survey found that the US president remains unpopular in most Muslim nations, <http://topics.breitbart.com/Muslim+nations/>and most disapprove of the way he has handled calls for political change roiling the Arab world*.
