I'm assuming some of this has to do with the war in Afghanistan and the way is dealing with (or failing to deal with ) the situation in Israel.

However,
"In Western Europe, support for Obama remains strong. In Germany, 90% believe Obama will do the right thing in foreign affairs, compared to 65% of Americans."

and

"Obama?s 87 percent approval rating in sub-Saharan Africa contrasts with a 34 percent approval rating in the Middle East and North Africa, where anti-U.S. sentiment is more pronounced and where Islam is the predominant religion."

So clearly the entire world doesn't hate him, just the ones who thought he was going to coddle them and found out that wasn't going to happen.
