Poll: Few Iranians see US favorably, despite Obama

BWAHAHAHAHA LINK
EXCERPT:WASHINGTON – Few Iranians have favorable opinions of the United States, a view that has changed little since the election of an American president who has expressed a willingness to talk to Tehran, a rare poll of Iranian citizens showed Monday.

Even so, the survey shows Iranians continue to strongly want their country to adopt democratic institutions like free elections and a free press, the poll showed. There also remains a widespread willingness to stage unconditional negotiations with the U.S. following nearly three decades of diplomatic estrangement between the two countries.

Just 29 percent of Iranians said they have favorable views of the United States in the latest poll, which was conducted last month. In a similar survey in February 2008 — nearly a year before Barack Obama became president — 34 percent had positive opinions about the U.S.

Wait a minute, who was president last year? Oh, yeah, BUSH. The US polls LOWER in Iran under Obama!
This doesn't fit the narrative at all...

Could it be that they viewed the US and Bush as their "Savior"? Now with Obama, a closet Muslim, not so much.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

Barack Hussein Obama's views are almost entirely incompatible with Sharia Law, that's probably one of the main reasons he's not so popular over there. Another one is that Muslims have no respect for perceived weakness, especially in men.
