Obama is Ahead of the Dalai Lama
From the NYT article discussing the poll:
About 80 percent of people in France, Germany, Italy and Spain have a positive view of Mr. Obama, a ratio that declines only slightly, to about 70 percent, in the other two countries surveyed, Britain and the United States. The only politician who comes close is Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, who gets a positive rating from two-thirds of those in Continental Europe but from only one-third of Britons and Americans.
Between Obama (78%) and Merkel (54%) is the Dalai Lama (70%). Namaste.
