Obama is not just the Dem candidate, he's the world's favorite

[panader0]

Name a country that would rather have mccain as president. Every nation, from our allies to the "enemies" that bush has made want to see progress in US foriegn policy. Things will get much better domestically and overseas when Obama is sworn in.

1. Saudi Arabia

:P

4. I doubt that - they want stability

[MercutioATC]

6. Yes, but they're also financially comfortable with Bush's policies...

...both foreign and domestic.


I'll bet that money trumps any misgivings they might have.

8. Money trumps misgivings in a lot of places of the world

13. no you don't understand their interests are much more long term

they have substantial dollar holdings and they have lost 30% of their wealth because of him. They would love to have his father back but they haven't concealed their unhappiness with Bush - he has consistently ignored their advice and they don't like the lectures they get about human rights. After all they have been through with Bush it really busts their chops to have to sit through a lecture by Rice on driver's lisences for women.

16. They've hd the opportunity to hold their petrodollars in Euros for some time now.

They've chosen not to.

That indicates to me that they're financially comfortable with Bush's policies even though the dollar is taking a beating.

2. Yeah. You go with that in November.

I'll never get over how clueless the young Obamatrons are. How do you think this will help? This is yet another post along the lines of "Parisians love Obama! So vote for him, you stupid Americans!" (That'll help us take Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida for sure! :eyes: )

[WillParkinson]

3. Le Sigh...

Why do people have to resort to name calling to try to get a point across? If you have something constructive to say please do. Calling someone clueless does not help anyone.

I do not care for either Ms. Clinton or Mr. Obama, but I don't see resorting to name-calling as building upon something for November.

5. I'm not young or clueless

When you begin to understand that the world is in this together, you'll have a clue.

9. When YOU begin to understand that the American electorate is not just like you - YOU'LL have a clue-

and take this old memory from a wizened old Hillbot:

Late 80s, Austria faces a Presidential election: as always, it's the Peoples' Party (right-wing) versus the Social Democrats (left-wing.) The People's Party recruited an internationally-well-known candidate: the previous head of the UN, Kurt Waldheim. As the campaign began, the polls were even. But then suddenly, during the campaign, Waldheim's Nazi past was revealed - a bad thing of course -- except for the fact that suddenly the whole rest of the EU started to speak up strongly and vociferously against Waldheim (understandably so.) So what happened, hmmm? WALDHEIM ROMPED TO VICTORY!

And who would you expect to be more OK with being told how to vote by the rest of the world? Mittel-European Viennese - or heartland Americans? :think:

12. Read my sig. I'm an idealist.

To reach the ideal, act like an idealist.

10. I'm 53. I could be your dad.

Nice try, kid.

15. It is a response to the Castro, Hamas, etc etc saying they prefer Obama.. everyone does

not just our enemies.. our friends too, even if the MSM doesn't cover that part of it

[Lady-Damai]

7. Very true! I have family and friends in Europe and the Caribbean.

[Swamp Rat]

11. China

so they could really take us to the cleaners.

[dailykoff]

14. We have one or two friends in the ME who prefer war to peace.

At least one, and an influential one. Other than that I absolutely agree and it's a great thing to see!

K/R :thumbsup:

17. That was true of John Kerry too

There were only about 5 countries that wanted Bush. That's how stupid the right wing nuts are in this country.
