Obama and America's global image.
"One week before Election Day, the world is revising its opinion of America. After a drop of confidence in the United States, presidential candidate Barack Obama has revived the U.S. brand, exporting a vision of American renewal to a world watching the election with unprecedented interest. ... But while Obama is the clear global choice, pinning the world's hopes on one man opens the risk of unfulfilled hopes and mismanaged expectations." Lara Setrakian, ABC News, 28 October 2008. The article includes a region-by-region review of public opinion towards the United States. Posted: 30 Oct 2008 Permalink Print
