America Moves From #7 To #1 Most Admired Country

Filed in National by on October 6, 2009

Gee, I wonder what changed from last year to this year? I can’t quite put my finger on it…

The United States is the most admired country globally thanks largely to the star power of President Barack Obama and his administration, according to a new poll.

It climbed from seventh place last year, ahead of France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Japan which completed the top five nations in the Nation Brand Index (NBI).

“What’s really remarkable is that in all my years studying national reputation, I have never seen any country experience such a dramatic change in its standing as we see for the United States for 2009,” said Simon Anholt, the founder of NBI, which measured the global image of 50 countries each year.

    WHO CARES! The rest of the world are a bunch of Socialists… they only admire us because they want to kill God, give government handouts and make our kids have abortions! GLENN BECK FOREVER!

    Seriously can we kick out the south? change the outcome of the Civil war and let most of the Confederacy go? (Virginia is no longer a red state, and i like Florida) but the rest of the septic tank of high cholesterol, low I.Q’s, hate mongering and scared little ditto heads who hang on the every word of fat drug addicted ass holes called the South…. why cant we just let them form their own White Christian Only society and when they all die, or get “raptured” or whatever the cult leaders decide to call it…. we can turn it all into a wind farm or something.
