_In a word: bullshit. And more bullshit. And more. _
Indeed you are full of it today! Your usual eloquent good mannered style Dilly.

I am not sure which part of my post you actually disagree with. Essentially, I was reacting to a previous poster who had said that the reputation of the USA had always been very low with all other countries. I said that I thought that it had not been so bad with many of them until recently.

You have told me previously that you – how did you put it? "don’t give a rat’s ass" I think – about how any foreigners think of the USA.

From your quotes above I suspect that you agree that our reputation is low but you think we don’t deserve it. I could agree with that if we had not elected him twice.
Once again Dilly has the facts and everyone else is wrong.
