COLUMBIA, S.C. - The United States has lost its global
standing during George W. Bush's presidency and needs a
Democratic commander in chief to restore America's place
in the world, Democrats running for the White House said
Saturday.

"We are today internationally and domestically a nation
that is no longer a leader," said New Mexico Gov. Bill
Richardson, one of three candidates to address a
convention of the South Carolina Democratic Party.

Former North Carolina Sen.
John Edwards, the 2004 vice presidential nominee, said
the world needs to see that "America can be a force for
good."

"What their perception is that America is a bully and we
only care about our short-term interests," Edwards said.
"The starting place is to end the bleeding sore that is
the war in Iraq."

Richardson, Edwards and Delaware Sen. Joe Biden said
they would make ending the war a priority.

He is concerned with the loss of our standing in the world and on his foreign policy page he encourages supporters to write about or suggest things regarding this.
My mom is from France and she told me about how much they all were wishing for and anticipating the Americans in WWII. Now my cousins say that America is garbage in Europe because of Bush.
Just getting rid of Bush would improve our standing alot.
