Why would the rest of the world prefer Obama?
Does it not make you quite concerned that the rest of the world wants us to elect Obama? They know he will weaken America, that he will be soft on everything that has kept America the strongest, economically strong country in the world. They benefit if we fail. Wow that scares me.
In probably the largest such poll, Gallup surveyed people in 73 countries and found a more than 3-to-1 preference for Obama over McCain. Separate global polls by the BBC and Reader’s Digest found similar margins of support for the Illinois senator.
“Large numbers of people around the world clearly like what Barack Obama represents,” said Doug Miller, of GlobeScan, which ran BBC’s survey.

BBC's headline, "We have a stake too." The Brits have been babbling about that talking point since I lived there in the late 90's. It's nonsense. Wouldn't you love it if Iranians were as gullible as so many Americans were and we could change their country by saying how much we hate them if they don't do what we like.
It's complete ignorance and yes, frightening how much influence the world has on our country in this new globalized world.
The most telling statistics are how Venezuela feels about our election. It's so obvious compared to the rest of the world, a country that just recently lost so much freedom. And they're even considered one of the Axis of Evil by a Republican. Very telling.

The world is brainwashed into thinking a democratic president is the key to saving the world, which is just total BS. The only reason people want a democratic president is because they're fed up with the 8 years of George Bush, But Obama and Biden are just going to bring the same crap for years to come. Listen people need to stop living in disillusion, they think because he is a black man he can't be a Marxist socialist, or he can't bring fascism. The US needs to start going back to a Constitutional nation not a fascist nation that it has become and what the left and right candidates are going for. This guy is not going to save the economy either, he supported the 700 bailout plan which in reality its about 5 trillion dollars, http://www.infowars.net/articles/october2008/15100...
This guy has a cult like following, Bottom line if the world thinks this guy will rise America from its ashes, they are deadly wrong.

A little but not really. Obama's main endorsements have come from Hamas, Castro and Chevas which are either terrorists or dick-taters and they know that Obama is weak. This shows me what kind of people prefer Obama and why I'd never vote for him. The opinion of people in other countries who don't know the whole story isn't worth looking into and I could care less what they think.
President McCain has already won.

The people who really want Obama to be president are the terrorist nations. That is really scary if you ask me. That alone is enough for me not to vote for him as head of this country. Obama does not love America like you or I. It is a shame they are so many of you that don't know enough to be scared. If Obama makes America weak, we will face dire consequences we have never seen in the US. We take for granted that we are safe, when they are just waiting for us to let our guard down. I am so amazed that 1/2 our country has thier blinders on, and don't see what is coming! Obama will give us the opening the terrorists are looking for...of course they want him to win..do you? If ANYTHING they saying about Obama is true, do we really want him? The financial crisis has got all our attention so we aren't thinking about this...hmmmm...coincidence????

It's not 'us against them', we're all here on this planet together.
They prefer Obama because they believe his presidency would make America a better place, a better neighbor, a better citizen of the world.

Actually, because of this mess of a financial situation we are in, we've screwed the rest of the world. I'm pretty sure the rest of the world doesn't want to keep boneheads leading our country so that we continue to screw them up.
