Our Image to the World Is Improving Already

One of the worst arguments for voting Democrat is that it would "repair our image to the world." I've always called B.S. on that logic; anyone over 30 has seen enough presidents come and go to know that those who hate us will hate us regardless of who is in office. And, lo and behold, I was right.

Iranian demonstrators burned photographs of Barack Obama today as they protested against America’s inaction over Gaza.

Dozens of people gathered in Tehran waving Palestinian flags and defacing and setting fire to images of the President-elect...

The demonstrators, waving Palestinian flags, some chanting “Death to Obama”, had gathered outside the Swiss embassy which handles US interests because Tehran and Washington have not had diplomatic ties for nearly three decades.

Pictures showed the president-elect’s image laid on the road for cars to drive over it and other images showed demonstrators burning an Obama poster.

Ahh, I feel that image improved already.
