Excitement for Obama Around the World (vote, racism, Barack Obama, McCain)

Europe World News - Excitement about Obama spreads around the world

What is pathetic is that if McCain wins, everyone will think the US is racist. If Obama wins, the issue of race can never come up in politics!

Wrong, it will always come up in politics. If Obama wins, we will hear non stop about how americans only voted for him to hide their racism.

LOL, you're right--we'll hear about it non stop for quite awhile. Then a month or so after he starts doing the job, it will become old news.

That's the thing: if you vote against him you're a racist. If you vote for him you're hiding racism. There is no winning.

my question is this. the world hates the US. that is pretty much common knowledge. I think barack obama might be popular in other countries BECAUSE the world hates us and wants to punish us with obama.

So then, that makes it a lose-lose situation. Fantastic!

Funny this should come up as a topic, we got e-mails from customers in Brazil and Great Britain, both saying they were excited about Obama.

This is the opportunity to move beyond racism. Let's just do it starting now.
