Four Questions: One New President
As President Barack Obama marked 100 days in office, the majority (60 percent) of Americans gave him approval — but what about the rest of the world? These videos shot in January and February of 2009 in the Middle East and India show the U.S. and its new president through a different set of eyes.
The questions were simple: (1) How do you view America? (2) How do you think Americans view your country? (3) What was your view of America during the presidency of George W Bush? (4) How is your view changing with President Barack Obama?
