The Democratic candidate admitted that his ratings may have slipped in the United States since he's been away, as Americans focus more on domestic problems like gas prices and home foreclosures than on his travels abroad.
Your ratings are slipping because you act like you care more about the rest of the world than you do the United States

Here's the "Help Wanted" ad Obama apparently believes he's answering by running for president:
HELP WANTED
Job Description: Emperor of the World
Requirements: Not much. "Community organizing" of welfare beggars in any American city will do. In addition, must be willing to threaten nuclear annihilation of any country that balks at complete, 100% obedience to American foreign policy. If such mass murder is necessary, must be good at telling lies about your true intentions by calling the mass murder "a new birth of freedom," "exporting democracy," "eradicating evil from the earth," etc., etc.
At least three references required, along with a 100,000 word essay on "Why I Want to Be Emperor of the World."
