WASHINGTON — President Obama is facing challenges to American power on multiple fronts as he prepares for his first trip overseas since taking office, with the nation’s economic woes emboldening allies and adversaries alike.


Anglo-American Capitalism on Trial (March 29, 2009) Despite his immense popularity around the world, Mr. Obama will confront resentment over American-style capitalism and resistance to his economic prescriptions when he lands in London on Tuesday for the Group of 20 summit meeting of industrial and emerging market nations plus the European Union.

2. Barack Obama knows that the world is pissed at America......

and has been for a long time, but in particular because of the way
the American led the global economy down a ditch.

President Obama will have to be America's Salesman In Chief....
The whole trip is to show that Barack Obama's America
ain't gonna be the same as Bush's America.

That will determine the success of his trip.

That's common knowledge.
