In Europe, the Choice Is Clear

International opinion on our presidential race is one-sided:

A poll in late May of five major countries — Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Russia — showed Sen. Obama getting 52% support, compared with 15% for Sen. McCain. In France, 65% favor Sen. Obama, compared with 8% for Sen. McCain, according to the poll for the United Kingdom's Daily Telegraph newspaper. Another poll published online Saturday in Belgium's Le Soir newspaper showed Belgians prefer Sen. Obama over Sen. McCain 74% to 12%.

i do not think that it makes any diff who is prez.
obama may be even nastier to iraqis and pals than mccain or bush.
obama,being a black, may strive more than a white prez to please US plutocrats who really govern US; politicians being mere hired mouths/guns for rich people. thank u

In EUROPE, it's NOT Their Choice to MAKE!

If their preference matters (except to the US media...) then I DEMAND to have my say in the next French elections!

Next we'll be asking the Middle East who they'd vote for U.S. Pres!?! We don't let them decide for themselves, why would we care what they'd decide for us?

IBegToDiffer,

Why should we care what they think? It's only *our* opinion that matters.

"it's NOT Their Choice to MAKE!" and "We don't let them decide for themselves".

Why should we care what anyone thinks? They won't invade to affect "regime change". That's our province; to decide how others are ruled. What we do is our business, not theirs. And what they do is our business.
