actually the article that went with that same picture in my local paper basically quoted a number of germans saying, "he thinks we arent carrying our weight!??" and "obama is going to be really expensive for germany" (he asked that the strengthen their troops.)
Really? That may be the case with those quoted, but I can testify first hand that the Norwegians are very stoked about Obama. As is the rest of the European newspapers and news outlets.
And contrary to what most Republicans think, the rest of the world media is not stoked about him because they want America to fall on its face (although I'm not sure how Obama would cause that considering the flaming douchebage illiterate Dubya we've had for 8 years). It's in the world's interest for America to be strong and friendly and just. If we were to fall, everyone else will be fucked, and they know that.
I apologize -- I'm on the warpath. I just got a very upsetting political e-mail from a friend that I want to shove down her throat.
