In every foreign country that I've visited in the last 8 years, 
people have always said to me "We hate Bush, but we love 
Americans."  They separate the people of the country from our leaders 
(ignoring the fact that the American people elected Bush twice).  In 
most countries the people have much less influence on what their 
leaders do than we do.

I do anticipate a much better attitude toward America from the 
foreign press with Obama in charge.
