Steve, I hear that people in South Korea are pissed that Obama supports the beef trade deal that President Lee Myung-Bak approved with Bush:

> “You can’t get beef into Japan and Korea, even though, obviously, we have the highest safety standards of anybody, but they don’t want to have that competition from U.S. producers,” Mr. Obama said last month in a speech to farmers in South Dakota. Last week, near Detroit, he asserted that “if South Korea is selling hundreds of thousands of cars to the United States and we can only sell less than 5,000 in South Korea, something is wrong.”

That beef deal is what drove Lee Myung-Bak's approval rating to below that of Bush. Lots of Koreans like Obama because they also like Jimmy Carter, but the beef deal puts them in a real pickle.
