How do you think Obama is viewed by other powerful world leaders?

I'm asking how they really feel about him. Not the act they put on in front of world media.

    After his worldwide apology tour, apologizing for and critisizing America in front of many foreign audiences, I'd have to say they think he is weak. The French probably like him...

    Not sure who these other 'powerful world leaders' are exactly. But Obama has a strong ally in Gordon Brown plus most of UK too. Guess also France, Germany and the EU - even if they don't always sing from the same hymn sheet. As for the Ruskies, forget it. No love lost there. In any event, the British are still doing Cold War things with the Russians - nothing changes then except the date! Apparently.

    James Bond vs Ivanovich or whoever they send.

    "Not the act they put on in front of the world media"

    Whatever that "act" is when coming from a national leader - makes it national policy.

    That's the attitude of their country being represented.

    Gosh it's frustrating reading these responses above.

    Foreign politicians understand progressive liberal vs religious conservatives.

    They have the same dichotomy in their own countries. They don't have our right wing dominated media over there so they can only base their conclusions of Obama on what they see - not on what they told over and over again.

    Unless they personally know the man - why would they have personal feelings towards him? Based on his speeches and actions alone though he would appear intelligent, thoughtful and decisive. A welcome relief from our previous administration. Who appeared arrogant, willfully ignorant and dangerously dumb.

    We elected Obama for his diplomacy - and so far so good.

    Weak, Obama acts like a school kid , when he does stuff like leave those guys out because they will not play our way.

    Do not talk to FNC they will not follow his ways.

    Obama is weak Iran still doing same stuff North Korea still acting the same Obama thought if he played nice they would change there ways , that is really working for him huh.

    They entire world thinks he's weak, thats why they gave him the Nobel Prize. They awarded Obama with the Nobel Prize because world leaders wanted to stroke his ego and make him feel like he accomplished something important, to distract him from reality.

    LMFAO. The world leaders are being nice to him only because they know that if they ask Obama to do something he'll do it because HE DOESN'T WANT TO PISS THEM OFF IF HE SAYS NO.

    We have an @ss kisser in office right now.

    They think he is weak. Look at what North Korea and Iran did the week he took office. They launched a bunch of missiles as a test to see how Obama would react, and he did react, like a big sissy.
