If you are undecided about who to vote for in the US presidential race (HUH?) Maybe, you should check with Obama's standing in the world.... Which translates something like this...
In Percentages
GEORGE W BUSH = 0%
BARACK OBAMA = 99%
JOHN McGRUMPYPANTS = 1% (Just Kidding)
Excerpt from article:
No matter where you live, no matter which nation you hail from or to which political ideology you tend to adhere, the Bush/McCain approach to leadership -- belligerent, militaristic, religiously closed-minded, culturally stagnant, environmentally reckless, fiscally irresponsible -- has resulted in one of the most epic collapses of a world power in modern history, which in turn has made the rest of the world a more volatile, hostile place for all.

No matter how isolationist the sentiment is in this country, the reality is that we are part of the world and our ability to act is affected by the opinion of others.

Anyone who isn't convinced of how entrenched we are in the rest of the world, take a look at how the rumpus on Wall Street has the rest of the world reeling in the ripples of its aftershocks.
