WHAT HATH OBAMA WROUGHT? – AT 9:14 A.M. ET:  Ah yes, I remember it well, all the predictions that Saint Barack would restore America's "prestige" in the world.  Of course, the mainstream media defines "prestige" as the opinions of foreign leftist journalists and "intellectuals." 

Uh, well, it hasn't quite worked out.  In fact, American prestige under Obama is slipping, by any reasonable measure.  From USA Today:   

Well, it took about 70 years.

Yes, from being the world's pariah in the decades following Nazism and World War II, Germany is now the world's favorite country, according to the Anholt-Gfk Nations Brand Index, which measures the image of 50 leading nations.

The Teutonic powerhouse knocked the United States from its longtime perch at the top of the ratings, which measure "twenty-three different attributes that make up the six overall dimensions on which national image is based."

Feelin' great already?  Get this:

The USA, which held first place since 2009 and is still seen as No. 1 one in creativity, contemporary culture and educational institutions, suffered from its perceived shaky record in global peace and security.

"In a year of various international confrontations, the United States has lost significant ground where tension has been felt the most acutely," said Xiaoyan Zhao, senior vice president and director of the index. "Both Russia and Egypt have downgraded the U.S. in an unprecedented manner, particularly in their perception of American commitment to global peace and security, and in their assessment of the competence of the U.S. government."

COMMENT:  Really?  You mean they're doubting Field Marshal Obama?  Why, the scandal of it all.  Next time, maybe the mainstream media might be a little more careful before putting in the White House a glorified town councilman. 

And he has two more years left in office.  Get that underground bunker ready.
