bill: a stunning new poll from the folks at the pew research center.he blue line indicates whether americans believe they are more important or less important in the world. blue line is more important. go back 9 years, 45% of the americans thought our role in the world was more important. now we are down to 17%. 9-10 years ago iraq was at such a boil, that we were at 20 per. a clear majority now believe we are less important in the world. you look at these numbers and wonder what's going on. what do you think that means? >> this is bad because as ronald reagan used to say america is the shining city on the hill that those look to when they are looking for freedom. but obama's policy the last four years hasn't helped. he started off with his apology tour, apologizing for the things the united states has done. most recently we have seen his handling of syria didn't go well. people think vladimir putin did a much better job of handling the situation. 73% of casualties in afghanistan have happened under president obama. bill: 54-56% disapprove to how the p

the pew research center found a 10% drop in support among african-americans and hispanics, both groups who strongly supported the president in the last election. the "wall street journal"-nbc news poll also found -- and i quote -- "faith in mr. obama has dropped in recent voters among young people and hispanics. the question is why are the american people and even the president's strongest supporters rejecting obamacare? why now that the law is mostly in effect is opposition growing rather than declining? i think the answer is very simple. it's because the law has failed to deliver on the president's promises. from rising premiums to canceled health plans to lost doctors, obamacare is doing the exact opposite of what the president promised that it would do. the president said his new law would reduce the cost of health care. and in fact he claimed families would see their premiums fall by an average of $2,500 a year. but that promise fell apart almost immediately after obamacare was enacted. in fact, what we're seeing out there is the average family has seen its health care premiums ri

this comment comes in the same week that the pew research center found this about how americans feel40-year low, lars. >> well, it's -- and it shouldn't surprise anybody. ebony mentions the two wars. number one, iraq was being wound down by george bush and, fortunately, barack obama followed the blueprint that he followed. but he wasn't able to get a status of forces agreement, so now iraq is falling apart again. in afghanistan if she wants to consider that a success, 70% of the casualties in afghanistan happened in the four and a half years of president obama and not in the eight years of george bush. that's not exactly a success story either. and our stature around the world is falling apart. bill: ebony? >> well, i would disagree with that respectfully, lars, in terms of stature. that old you referenced, bill, that's american perception. if we talk about international perception of america's standing, i think it vastly differs. we have to look no further than the international response to the horrible thicks going on in -- things going on in the philippines. bill: but she canicall
