“U.S.A. is now the most respected nation on earth.” -B.H. Obama

Actually, it is not. It was in 2013 but has now been bumped down to 2nd place.So, really, the trend is downward, not upward.

Obama should have said Germany is now the most respected nation on earth:
“People around the world now have more positive perceptions of Germany than of 49 other developed and developing countries, according to the annual NBISM study. The study measures global perceptions of each country, based on twenty-three different attributes that make up the six overall dimensions on which national image is based: exports, governance, culture, people, tourism and immigration/investment. For the 2014 study, a total of 20,125 interviews were conducted across 20 countries.
