Who Doesn't Like Obama?

Attention, open in a new window. PDFE-mail

 

obama420.jpgJoin me on a journey to find someone in the world who doesn't like Obama right now.

I contact over 300 people on Skype with a mission- to find someone, anyone who is skeptical of Barack Obama in the international community. I get in touch with a witty blogger, The Korean, to shed light on some interesting and real skepticism in South Korea. 

Granted, there are MANY in the world who are skeptical of Obama, but here I omit mudslinging, unjustified reasons such as "being an Arab" or "communist" or "terrorist."

I invite you to visit The Korean's blog. He discusses many issues beyond those here, ranging from culture to history to politics.
