Your Questions About Images Of America
Saturday, February 18th, 2012
Chris asks…
Which candidate do you think will appeal to people outside of America?
America‘s image is in shambles the same way it’s economy is plummeting. Which candidate do you think will clean up the image of America?
Remember this is not about which candidate is best for the Americans. I for one really care about our country’s image, I still remember the times I’ve visited Europe and felt the strong Anti-American sentiments, despite the fact that I didn’t even vote for Bush.
No immature answers please

I think Obama will be very diplomatic. He was VERY well accepted on his trip to Germany. McCain on the other hand….well I don’t know how to say it other than he just wants to start a lot of wars. I don’t see how that will help America’s standing in the US.

Joseph asks…
Should the President have the right to keep secret the images of body bags coming back to America?
Should the President have the right to keep secret the images of body bags coming back to America? Is it possible that President Bush is doing to keep being able to keep recruitment of new soldiers possible. There has been a lot of controversy about the Patriot’s Act, and the attendant loss of individual rights and privacy. What are your comments about this?
mikey answers:
As an Ex Soldier, I want to know why should images of soldiers coming home be made public? Show some damn respect. Also they do not come home in “body bags” but proper coffins.
The Military has a right to keep damn media out of something which should be kept DIGNIFIED, these fallen heroes do not need to be splashed all over media.
You do not need to see it, when its reported everyday a running score by the liberal media. So no I do not see why the public has to see everything.

Sharon asks…
Images or advertisements that show foreign countries’ perceptions of what America is like?
I’m writing a paper on the differences in how America promotes itself through advertisements, television, etc. and how other countries perceive America and what America really is. I would like to find an advertisement from another country that shows the negative feelings and perceptions many foreign countries have towards America. I know i’ve seen images in the past but cannot think of any specific ones. links to images or descriptions of ones i could look for would be appreciated. thanks!
mikey answers:
I’m not sure if you wanted current images or past ones but you can surely find Soviet propoganda. Here’s a website for it http://englishrussia.com/2006/09/20/soviet-propaganda-against-usa-posters/ and also just look for anything in coutnries we have been in war against or have had issues with, maybe Cuba?

Lizzie asks…
What is the image of America?
Anyone have an idea of what the image of america is? I’m thinking of taking a photograph that shows the image of america, any ideas? thanks!
mikey answers:
The image of a country of 300 million people in a single photo… Come on, you can think of something more challenging than that. How about lassoing the moon, or tunneling to Java from Toledo, or changing the rotation of the Earth.

Donald asks…
Why do you think the rest of the world has such a poor image of America? Could it be the rampant racism?
No its not jealousy its fear as a Canadian I do not understand why America has such a huge problem with racism and hate towards anyone that isnt white. Canadians live side by side with minorities why is America so filled with hate I ask myself this all the time. Your economy is going down hill, people are loosing their jobs and their homes. Why would anyone be jealous.
mikey answers:
I am a Canadian . I drive in the states 5 or 6 days a week.
Parts of the states each state is really awful so poor so crime infested . The states is a strange place thinking they are the best . I often think how can they think that . Have they not looked at the rest of the world at all.
The practice of getting involved in other nations matters is the reason they are not well liked. The states should finish up with Iraq soon then bring every last military person home and keep them home then focus on fixing the horrible mess there own country is in.
