I think her assessment is correct. However, much of the rest of the world WANTS to believe that we are "extending the middle finger". I think that U.S. citizens should be highly aware that we are NOT liked worldwide.

In order to quit drinking Pepsi, I would have to hear if she believes that we should alter our actions in a material way because of this perception of us.

"In order to quit drinking Pepsi, I would have to hear if she believes that we should alter our actions in a material way because of this perception of us."

You'll find out that's exactly what she says if you read the text of her speech.

I think her assessdment is crap. She aligns herself with the Blame America crowd, and instead of defending us as the good nation we are, slings her foul stink at my country.

Why did she not mention that we are wrongly slandered, and then gone on to highlight how we are the most generous nation in the world? It is because to her way of thinking, we ARE the middle finger. There is no way you can stretch that analogy to mean something good.

It was a carefully devised slander.

I have little patience for this crap. And since Pepsi has not made any retraction, they can count me out as a consumer.

And why is that? Care to share? How do we fix this "supposed" dislike of America?
