They had a pretty good discussion of this on CNN today and one guy made a pretty good point. He said in 2008 George Bush's approval rating in Britain (one of our main allies) was around 12%. One year later Obama is at about 85% and even higher in France and Germany. He has also told Muslims we will reach out to them and gave a speech in Egypt about this. He has also gotten Russia to agree (along with us) to reduce their nuclear arsenal. While a lot of these things remain to be seen as to whether or not he will pull them off he has brought the US back into the limelight in Europe and put us back in their good graces.

It is all a little weak, but the guy did make a pretty good argument. Still, it sounds like mostly he got it on the hope that he will achieve a lot of the goals he has set out to attain.
