United States is the most admired country globally thanks largely to Obama and team

So far, he hasn't accomplished much of anything.

Let's hope that there will continue to be no change.

The US and the american people obviously deserve the admiration for their open-mindedness and "color-blindness"

"color-blindness"

Is that a joke?

Millions of blacks had no idea about Obama's policies but ran out to vote for him specifically because he was black.

Kenyan's are black.

Quote from Ricter:

Excellent argument for why Obama IS the reason.

I am afraid you misunderstood my post , the american people who elected a black president deserve the admiration, the country where it's possible for a minority candidate to become the leader of the free world certainly deserves the admiration. If you think that some specific Obama's actions or policies also deserve the admiration I'd like to know what he has done so far.

By the way, he's not black.
Haven't you ever seen him on TV or his picture perhaps? He is black.

Obama gave Hamas the better part of a Billion dollars, that probably got him the boost in popularity worldwide... of course the Left will use the popularity to say he's a great leader...

That is not true about Obama being in the poll as a reason. The media is trying to say its because the US went up in the polls however no personalities were in the poll.....

Just more leftist dribble.

Some how I doubt you look at America the same way the world looks at America. The surge of United States' position in the NBI index was explained by the pollster and NBI founder Simon Anholt below.

If you don't like the result of the poll showing US as number one, then just say so.

WTF has Obama done to "gain respect" from other countries? So far, he hasn't accomplished much of anything.

Am I missing something here?

He didn't do much or even he did nothing (at least he did not start a new big war - only small issues, e.g. coup in Honduras happened at his watch that the world can live with). The world was simply tired of GWB's stupid face and his wars. That's the reason why Obama gained some respect abroad for doing nothing or almost nothing.

GWB was probably as much hated around the world as was Osama bin Laden. And because he was the US leader, the bad sentiment was being unjustly transfered to all Americans in line with: as leader as nation.

The respect is given as an advance. Just my 2 cents.

The type on this page is black. He is much lighter than that. Therefore he is not black.

Why don't you tell that to Obama, I guess he does not know

It's important to realize that I was actually black before the election' Obama tells David Letterman

Duh! Grow up already, your smart-ass comments are getting old (and boring) fast.
