Maybe a lot of Americans actually WANT our country to be once again admired and able to work with other countries to achieve common goals and are hungry to once again be proud of our president instead of flinching in shame every time he opens his mouth.

Ironic that Ron Paul supporters like myself are referred to as "isolationist" when I fully support presidential candidates winning the hearts and minds of foreigners and realizing that the US presidential campaign is GLOBAL, not domestic.

But, fear not. As America becomes more irrelevant economically and enters a living standard comparable to countries like Portugal, no one outside of America will really care about who is the next president of the United States. You should enjoy the press this campaign is getting internationally, because I can guarantee that it won't be repeated by the next decade.

Well then, since it doesn't matter to you, stay out of it and leave the election to those of us who have no interest in becoming hermits.

Yes. And the rest of the world wants to be reassured that the US, leader of the planet, realizes we're all in this together, that we rise or fall together so let's all get with the program.

I dont see why this is hard for Some People to understand! Maybe they do and just wont admit it.

Well, this speech certainly didn't hurt. Great speech. Obama has the potential to go down in history as a phenomenal leader, like Lincoln or FDR.

No polls are showing anything!

Oh wait he was just walking through woods in Germany and saw a mic and jumped on up as a regular Joe American citizen.
