Quote:Perhaps more significant than Obama’s small declines in ratings is that a generally positive view of him and the U.S. coexists with significant concerns about the American approach to world affairs and some key policies. This was not the case in the global surveys taken during President Bush’s terms in office, when specific criticism ran hand in hand with anti-American and anti-Bush sentiment.
The verb "coexists" is actually causing the trouble.
When two things coexist they are present at the same time in the same location. The "grammar" of the bolded part is that, in the minds of people outside the US,
attitude 1 coexists with
attitude 2:
attitude 1: is a generally positive view of him (Obama) and the U.S.
attitude 2: is significant concerns about the American approach to world affairs and some key policies.
Stumble It!
