Obama Lacks Respect Among World Leaders
National Security item by J. D. Longstreet

Americans like to be liked.  At least, that is what we have been told for decades.  And while it is true to an extent, it is not one hundred percent true.  In fact, the American people will take respect over likability when the occasion calls for it.  Actually, the American people’s desire for respect far exceeds that of their leaders who are, of course, politicians.  We all know that a politician’s political life depends upon his/her “likability factor.”  It is far more important to them to be liked than to be respected.
