The issue for me is whether the perceptions of the US as a nation and the president as a world leader matters beyond our borders.
IMO, we should recognize that there is a negative perception and acknowledge it in our foreign policy as long as it doesnt hurt our national interests or national security.
On the other hand, according to another post of yours, it doesn't matter...
"Not one fucking bit."
Different perspectives...*shrug*...thats life. You wont change my opinion and I wont change yours.
