Wasn’t the election of Obama supposed to make the Muslim world love us or something?
(US News) — Despite intense and sustained efforts to woo the Arab world with money and nice words, a newly released survey of the region finds that President Obama is at the bottom of a list Arabs admire most.
Obama is admired by just 4 percent of Middle East Arabs in the new survey released by the Brookings Institution and University of Maryland.
Above him:
- 13 percent prefer Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinajad.
- 6 percent prefer dead Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
- 5 percent chose Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez.
- Even 5 percent chose French President Nicolas Sarkozy over Obama.
