Maybe you might find THIS "noteworthy" too, as you express such concern for the WORLD (UK, Ireland, Canada, Netherlands, Germany) outside of the US. >>>I got through the first page of this 24 page thread (at this time).
I saw these comments:

Which brings me to an interesting discussion I had this week at the 'beer- pitcher' round after our golf group finished on Tuesday. We have 16 to 24 guys each week...(it varies per personal commitments). We all have golfed together for 6-7 years or more. So we are pretty familiar with the lives of each of us .... to the degree we share.
But what is interesting is that we have a number of Europeans ---Two Brits, an Irishman, two Dutch, and a German, and a handful (5) Canadians. The rest, the remaining half are Americans. And it must be said we are all super-seniors, snowbirds hiding in Sarasota, and, all of us are Caucasian, for whatever role that plays.
But most interesting is the regard for Obama. The foreigners absolutely love him. He is a rock star for the Brits, the German the Nederlanders, and all of the Canadians too. If you put this 'American Presidents' poll up to vote at our 19th Hole table....Obama would walk away with the honors (not that anyone is old enough to remember Abe Lincoln in office)
I find that noteworthy.

Lastly, this observation by poster CityGator was.......well, it was funny as hell. In my humble opinion. A hat tip!
Barrack Obama - in a speech in Germany, said >> "
"I am a citizen of the WORLD.", for which he was sharply and correctly criticized by 2012 conservative presidential candidate Virgil Goode, who said "You're supposed to be a citizen of the United States, and as a US president, representing the American people, not the world."
