ACORN!!! SOCIALISM!!! AIIIIEEE!!!

Global Survey Says U.S. Rises to Most Admired Country in the World
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.
Yeah?? SO?!?
When asked about why he believes the United States shot up to the top of the list, Anholt explained that it likely is because of the election of Barack Obama. “There is no other explanation,” he said.
Yeah, but... honor and dignity to the White House! It's left over from the Bush years! He didn't put his hand over his heart during the pledge! Czars! TEABAGS!!!! TEH CENSUS!!! FUCKING ACORN!!!!

(All joking aside... hey Mr. President... how about we start earning some of that admiration, hmm?)
