Who does the rest of the world want?

When Pres Obama was elected, following Mr "Humble Foreign Policy", I think it's safe to say the world was extremely relieved. And our standing in it was instantly escalated.

Now, whenever I read posts from people in other countries, they're almost universally for Bernie. To them, it seems to be pretty much a no-brainer. As in, what kind of idiots are we to struggle with something so obvious?

to.

Being outside the U.S. Bubble gives people in other countries a completely different perspective, and IMCPO, a much more objective opinion and when most of those people support Bernie, it says a lot!

PEACE

Electing the first AA prez had to seem like a pretty big deal to them.

But the first woman prez? Haven't they pretty much been there, done that? Actually, haven't they already seen for centuries that female leaders can be every bit at cunning and ruthless as their male counterparts?

So if anything, it seems we're just trying to pretend that mistakes made by other countries don't amount to enough for us to learn by, so we have to make them ourselves.
