Global Survey Says U.S. Rises to Most Admired Country in the World

Reuters reports that a new global survey has found that the United States is the most admired country in the world.

When asked about why he believes the United States shot up to the top of the list, Anholt explained that it likely is because of the election of Barack Obama. “There is no other explanation,” he said.

Really? There's NO other explanation? REEEally? Nothing? Not even, say, THIS? Hmm.
