Obama claimed U.S. is criticized for reluctance to use force. He watches too much Fox News. A Gallup poll in December of 65 nations found US far and away the nation most widely believed to be the top threat to world peace. People who aren't organizing terrorist groups do not appreciate the global cop-ism.

Imagine the Clippers owner finding some jerk paid to accuse him of being too enlightened and sensitive. Would we care about his efforts to refute that criticism?
