Study: Obama would win world vote in a landslide


 

In a 2012 election outside the United States, the president has Romney beat by nearly 50 percent

BY ALEX LEFF, GLOBALPOST

Stop the drone attacks. Be tougher on terror. Help immigrants. Boost trade. Fix your economy, and help us fix ours while you’re at it. The world has plenty of gripes with the United States.

And they cover a lot of ground. How US policies play out overseas has been shaping countries’ trajectories for generations, much to the international community’s chagrin or delight.

Foreign affairs might not be the focus for most US voters, who tend to worry more about the economy and hospital bills. But talk to people on the street from Havana to Hong Kong and you’ll get an earful on how Washington should do less or more to influence their lives.

GlobalPost tapped into its extensive network of foreign correspondents, asking more than 100 people in 20 countries for their views on the United States and who they want to win the November election.

Well yeah, 0bama has the same view of the US that they do. Mitt Romney on the other hand has the nerve to think that we are a good country.

2. That's because the world realizes that Mitt Romney is a ****ing liar,

and whatever he would say to them while doing diplomacy
would be a bunch of in-your-face LIES!

It is obvious that the US like liars......
Cause we call them winners!

As 0bama gets busted for lying his ass off, the goons scream liar at Romney louder and louder.

Such as...?

President of the World!

Maybe he can have another one of those neat litte signs made up, like he did as "President-Elect Obama".

For many years polls in many countries have shown that people thought the US was to powerful and had too much influence.

Obama has fixed that and most of those people want to see the US decline to shitholes like the countries they are forced to live.

Cool Story, Bro. Too bad the world doesn't get to vote.
Looks to me that the world at large will be lamenting on Nov 7th.

The world writhes in poverty, corruption and tyranny. The US is great because it does NOT emulate the world or seek its approval. The US is great because it abandoned the path of the world, choosing to walk in the light of freedom instead.

The world wants Obama because a weak leader is a weak America. The world wants the death of America.

And DUmmies would vote Hugo Chavez Dictator of the World in a landslide.

So?

Wow - a planetary poll taken by 'more than 100 people' -- that's accurate... 

[franksolich]

Wow - a planetary poll taken by 'more than 100 people' -- that's accurate... 

And foreign correspondents for newspapers.

That's a mighty minuscule sliver of any society as a whole.

And the DUmmies have the same view of the US as well, which is the scary part. I may be repeating myself but Soros funds an organization that believes;

 The challenge ahead is to manage a peaceful decline of the west while rescuing as many of the west's liberal political and economic values as possible.

Sure sounds like they are talking about knocking the US down a few pegs similar to what Obama is now doing.

Yeah...basically their Leftist Facebook buddies in other countries.  Shocker.

Not that I give a shit what the world thinks, in fact that pick would probably a contra-indicator of what we need in a President.

The "world" does not have our best interests in mind...what does that tell you about the person they support?

Bingo!

It is possible.  There are about 1.5 billion muslims worldwide, and most of them don't live in the US.

[NHSparky]

Dear World,

And why do we want to copy your shitty little systems of government, dirt poor economies, and goat-raping people?

Sincerely,

America

Yep, they want us to be as broke as they are! One wonders what they would do if that actually happened.

That's what I've been fighting with moonbats about on the internet for years. "The world", meaning the individual countries that comprise it, can be counted on to do one thing - look out for their own interests. You can bet that they don't wake up every morning worrying about what the U.S. thinks of them. Less American hegemony means more for them. If they had the wealth and influence they'd be doing the exact same things we do to protect those assets. Anyone who thinks that other countries are somehow more noble or enlightened than the U.S. needs their head candled. At this point in history, the world wants a weaker America, and it's reflected in who they pull for in our elections.

Considering most of the world wants to destroy the US Obama would be their natural leader.

...and so representative across the human spectrum.

I will accept that as long as we can make Jeremy Clarkson Secretary of Transportation.

[BlueStateSaint]

I will accept that as long as we can make Jeremy Clarkson Secretary of Transportation.

With James May, Richard Hammond, and The Stig as undersecretaries.

Also, 101 people are "more than 100 people" in a "planetary" poll.
