President Barack Obama may be regarded as a Communist trying to nationalise health care by his fiercest detractors at home, but other world leaders see him as a conservative, he declared on Sunday.
Asked about the antipathy aroused by his stimulus bill, health reform plans, and takeover of ailing banks, the president revealed that the stinging domestic criticism has bemused other politicians whose politics are ostensibly to the Right of his.
"I can't tell you how many foreign leaders, who are heads of centre-right governments, say to me 'I don't understand why people would call you socialist, in my country you would be considered a conservative'," Mr Obama told CNN.
He refrained from naming names, but his leading centre-Right allies are Stephen Harper, the Canadian prime minister, who visited Washington last week, President Nicolas Sarkozy of France and Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor.
Mr Obama acknowledged that "yelling at politicians is as American as apple pie", but appealed for greater civility in the nation's political discourse. "It's important to remind ourselves we are all Americans who love this country," he said.
In angry scenes at town hall meetings and street protests, Mr Obama has been vilified as a communist, socialist or even a Nazi and a sinister supporter of euthanasia.
Jimmy Carter, the former president, and black Congressmen have said that racism has fuelled the hostility towards the first African American president.
But Mr Obama said the objections were rooted in opposition to "big government", not the colour of his skin, although he was sure that some people "don't like me because of race".

“I can’t tell you how many foreign leaders, who are heads of centre-right governments, say to me ‘I don’t understand why people would call you socialist, in my country you would be considered a conservative’,” Mr Obama told CNN.
—Well yeah, I guess if youre conversing with Satan, than maybe you might lean a bit Conservative, if a bit..but then Hell is really the only place where Socialism works. Equal pain and eternal torment for everyone.
He’s a nitwit. A vain, blowhard, superficial nitwit... . What have we done to deserve him !?
Bingo.
Now he wants to adopt the term “conservative”? Fine by me. So longs as he adjusts his thinking and actions to suit it. Otherwise...forget it. Can’t steal the term just because it’s more popular. Doesn’t fit and we know it.
Nice picture of Chief Walking Eagle.
Barak Chavez is certifiable.
In America, we think of you as a raving Communist.
“Barack Obama: Hugo Chavez is Always Telling Me I’m Too Conservative!”
The a*****e in the WH is a pathological liar. Joe Wilson was right. Why was Wilson the one who was slimed?
no 0bambi... the world leaders see you as an idiot
Yea... like a boil see’s an ass as a home....
Obama, conservative maybe in the Nazi party.
This man is derenged with power and nuts.
And why do we have to get our news from the UK?
Is our media too busy covering Michelle’s clothes?
How do you spell “BS”?
