Anti-American Bias Runs Deep

International journalists voted Jamaica's Usain Bolt athlete of the year, defeating Michael Phelps in the vote. While Bolt is an extraordinary athlete, setting world records with each of his three gold medals, Phelps won an unprecedented eight gold medals.

The vote only makes sense if there is a bias against America, extending to its individual athletes, in the world at large.

Although the article doesn't mention when the vote occurred, since the story was just published you would think the vote took place recently - after the election of Barack Obama as President.

In its own small way, this may be an indicator that America's "image" in the world, so precious to many on the left, will not be magically transformed with our new administration.
