I guess that is what I based my info on. When I have traveled I always get a local paper and check it out. In most of those cases there was very little info about the US. I will admit during those times it wasn't an election year and there were no big international events going on that we were involved in so maybe it was just that there was a slow news cycle right then.
That said if anyone wonders how the US can effect other countries just look at the current banking crisis. We started having trouble and other countries all of a sudden are feeling the pain. There are many European and world banks that are feeling the crunch now. We live in a global economy for sure.
