I think people who are so anti-rest of the world are people who have never spent any time outside of the US, and are in this little bubble of so called "personal truths". Nobody is saying that foreigners are dictating our election, its just a poll and information. Take it for what it is.. I have lived overseas for a bit of my life, and you certainly gain a new perspective of that country and mostly your own country.. and for me it was eyeopening. Rule it out or downplay it or write it off as you may, but it is what it is... and you will be very surprised that most people overseas know more about america than the average american does. With that said, no need to get angry and lose the plot like a few posters on here, and as one person said, what other people think is not always important. BUT I think that any person who is actually open minded and honestly judging who would be best to lead our nation would take this into consideration. Foreign Policy is one of the most important issues our nation faces, considering the fact we are involved in a war that has ruined our image abroad.
Take with it what you may, but don't be ignorant and talk down about the rest of the world... it is just their opinions... it is what it is.

They can take Obama away and crown him their king. Americans don't agree with his socialist policies, he will fit right in with them.

there are almost a dozen more countries in this world that are more capitalistic than the United States. so don't assume the rest of the world is so socialistic and we americans are a beacon of capitalistic freedom.. we regulate businesses for good reason... if you don't understand why.. perhaps united states history 101 is in order

When all the electoral votes for Germany, France, China and India come in on election day, that should put Obama over the top.

The World considers the GOP to be uneducated, blood thirsty, bigots.

Foolish, foolish. What is it, 1960? People today don't care about "the world", they care about lipstick and pigs.

The middle east really wants Obama to win, especially those extremist leaders, so that all those countries can attack us under a weak Obama.
Sounds like you're just a little paranoid and believing the GOP's fear-spreading agenda.. I think most of the world desperately wants *peace* above all. They are exhausted by the last 7 plus years of Bush et al.. I think a gigantically huge sigh of relief will emanate across this planet if the Obama/Biden is elected..
