Actually, it makes me embarrassed for them. In general, they have a favorable view of America at most times, even when Bush II was President.
I fear they got radicalized by Religion and they got oversold with the idea that Obama might be Muslim. I thought it ridiculous, but I blame how religion is so enmeshed with politics in that country. In fact, their Cardinal was getting in some heat with the Vatican due to how politically involved they are.
Still, I don't think the protests are as big as they mention here in America.
Any how, I'll shut up now.
Corporate owned GOP/Libertarian/RW media of course are doing their darnest in portraying Pres O a lame duck and that's putting it nicely.
