WASHINGTON (AFP) – The United States has "a lot of damage to repair" to its standing around the world after eight years of President George W. Bush, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Tuesday.
"The (new) approach to the world is one that we know is in the interests of our country going forward, and I have had that reinforced time and again with the all phone calls that I've been making," Clinton told reporters.
"There is a great exhalation of breath going on around the world as people express their appreciation for the new direction that is being set and the team that is being put together by the president...," she said.

How about 17 years of having to see her face.....We’ll start with that.
She voted for the iraq war, what is she bitching about?
Lovely, Hillary out enjoying the bliss of people happy to see her so they can further screw Americans. Stupid witch.
I doubt “the world” has forgotten the disgrace of the First Fornicator in Chief and how Hillary was the weak willing wife.
Thats because she is the Secretary of State of Confussion
I have yet to hear a single advantage to the world “liking” us from any of these jokers.
Seems the more they like us, the more Americans get killed.
WTC the first time, USS Cole, our embassys, etc.
Did they like us more then Hillary?
...and the Clinton’s have a lot of paybacks due to the rest of the world for all the dough they’ve received.
Elections have consequences.
Remember folks, John McCain thought this woman would be a ‘Great President’.
Never forget what “moderates’ gave you in November of 08.
Not only did AlQaida get opportunity after opportunity to make more and more attacks, they were literally encouraged to make those attacks larger and larger.
"W" had to spend nearly his entire time in office convincing AlQaida to lay off. Now we have the Hildabeast back and she's giving them phone calls telling them they can start up again.
(ONLY WAY to interpret what the Hildabeast just said).
Yeah is that Balkan thing under control yet?
Screw what the world thinks of us. One thing for sure, up till now, is that you attack us and when we reach the limit, hell breaks out. If the world can’t understand that, to hell with them.
among the North Koreans, Iranians, Syrians, Hamas, Al Qaeda . . .
I hear ya, she could really play the piano.
I don’t think Hillary has much for musical talents.
This bitch and her ilk are why we have a lot of damage to repair. If we were unified over the last eight years on the WOT, we would be respected around the world today. The Democrats sold us out to curry favor abroad and here at home, for political purposes.
Hillary’s proud moments with the Arafats are all anyone needs to know, to know what type of people have her loyalty.
Our enemies love BO.
Serbia has not forgotten MONICA BOMBS
Didn’t Greece want Bill tried for War Crimes?
This biaggi has some nerve. Al-Qaeda actually declared war on us during her husband’s administration. The first attack on the WTC in 1993, the attack on our troops at Khobar towers in Saudi Arabia, the bombings of our African embassies, the attack on the U.S.S. Cole all occurred on her husband’s watch. It finally took 9/11 to get our attention. How many times did bin-Laden escape when Clinton had him in our crosshairs?
Yet he couldn’t be disturbed while in the Oral Office with Monica underneath his desk. His main accomplishments: Inventing multiple uses for cigars, trashing the White House during the transition, and pardoning a wide assortment of drug dealers and notorious swindlers like Marc Rich just before leaving office.
And HRC with her pre-arranged cattle future trades as well her role in Whitewater and with Vince Foster. My God, just who do Bonnie and Clod think they are?
Ah yes, civility, Using the slick willie dictionary.
All You Need is Love?
“”There is a great exhalation of breath going on around the world as people express their appreciation for the new direction that is being set and the team that is being put together by the president...,” she said.
Shameless...unbearable...I can not bear to hear these clowns swaggering around talking us down this way...
What was it Saul Alinsky said...
1. pick a target --> American people
2. freeze it --> world perception of America in a bogus column
3. polarize it --> American people
Preview of coming attractions: libs saying this over and over again until all of their DUmmies believe it...
Note to Hildabeast: American citizens are guilty of nothing. You voted for Iraq. You facilitated and possibly were a cheerleader for your hound dog husband. And, you're a pathological liar to boot... end...
You bet Hil, being “liked” certainly didn’t help prevent the first WTC bombing, the USS Cole attack, the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, the 1996 al-Khobar towers bombing, the 1998 Africa embassy bombings etc etc. But at least we could feel warm and fuzzy as we counted our dead.
Reading my mind.
Did she mention that India and Pakistan were near Nuclear War when she left office?? The world has been healed from her neglect.
Pray for America, Our Troops and obama’s Guidance
“WASHINGTON (AFP) – The United States has “a lot of damage to repair” to its standing around the world......”
Indeed, and Hillary is the one that can make it happen.
Here is just one example that highlights Obama’s brilliance and leadership abilities in his selection of Hillary for the really tough and important job.

I don’t think Hillary has much for musical talents
Heard she can play a mean skin flute.
Surrender monkeys to the rescue!
I'm sure they're all relieved when Hillary calls and tells them that Obama is ready, able and willing to surrender to them and give away the store.
Once a classless beyatch, always a classless beyatch.
Does that damage include the creation of a human rights based democracy in Iraq? Seriously, is this something the US should be ashamed of? Iraq is expecting over 70% turn-out for their electiion this Saturday....and somehow we should apologize to the world. For what? Why stop there? Let’s apologize to Germany for removing Hitler while we’re at it.
The f***ing Clintonistas gave us “The Path to 9/11” and she has the damn gall to talk about the past 8 years. Why don’t we have a Republican spokesman or woman giving her a rapid response.
Hillary & Barak have a transactional view of foreign policy. They assume that the terrorists hate us, and that will result in lost American lives. They will ignore this as best they can as a “cost of doing business”.
If, OTOH, the Europeans, Asians, Latin Americans, et. al. have a low opinion of the US, it then hurts their bottom-line (illegal foreign campaign contributions & Bill’s slush fund). In other words, they like to sell influence. It’s hard to sell a product like that when the potential buyers hate your guts.
“The United States has “a lot of damage to repair”
Yeah, but nothing like the cleanup of the World Trade Center as a result of him being asleep at the wheel for 8 years.
That's not exhaling, that's the dry heaves.
That’s priceless, coming from corrupt, lying sack of crap Hillary. How about the shame she and Bill brought to the United States with their behavior in the White House?
She makes me vomit. The Clintons are the lowest, scummiest form of political life to ever be in Washington.
A pox upon both of them.
Given the insanity going on in Greece right now, I’d say they ought to mind their own backyard.
