#1 Only India and Poland were more upbeat about the United States, while Canadians were just as likely to see China favorably as they were the U.S.

Just for the record :-)

#2 The local radio host just asked two questions about this survey:

1. Why do you think the other countries have such a negative opinion?

2. Should we even care?

#3 I skimmed it, until I got to "AP" at the end.

Like Donny Rumsfeld said (more or less) tonight,shutting up Ted (what-was-her-name-again-who-drowned-in-my-car) Kennedy (Mary Jo Kopeckne, Ted) We're just gonna keep on doin' what we think is right - and that's fine by me!

#4 Goodbye. Don't let the door hit ya on the way out. It's well past time to reconfigure trade policy. It makes no sense to ship overseas 6% of out GDP. Bring those ~~troops~~ highly productive jobs home. Trade with friends and import only what is absolutely neccesary from real and wannabe enemies. Let our ersatz friends in Western Europe export to communist China.

#6 Any poll in which Brits and the Chinese have roughly the same views about Uncle Sam is worth less than a bucket of warm spit. Of course, anything coming out of Pew basically stinks - it's been conducting loaded polls for a while now. The question is whether they can be trusted to conduct a neutral poll. My view is no.
