Europe Sees America as Fading

Thanks in part due to what many see as the failure of the Bush administration America's relations with the outside world is on edge and there is a continually growing belief that America can not free itself from financial burden and recession without the aid of other nation's like those of the G20. Although Europe appreciates the differences between the Obama and Bush administrations, clearly preferring Obama, it is noted that there exists a general inclination to no longer do as the United States tell because of the protectionist walls they had to put up during the Bush administration. So unless America and Europe can come to terms once more it almost seems that Europe will not be a willing participant in coming to America's aid, thus helping promote a continued American downfall.
