There will be HUGE world-wide celebrations when Obama wins.

I went throughout Europe during the summer and they were all completely obsessed with Obama and barraged me with Obama and US election questions.

It was great though!

Well, the USofA is not the world, even if some people on this board like to believe that.

Who said I needed the affirmation?

I'm just stating my experiences in Europe and it's also a plus that we will have a more sophisticated image under Obama!

We ARE a really screwed up place. We start disastrous wars that cause humanitarian disasters and grievous loss of life. We ignore climate change while being the number one cause of it. We reelected a complete moron who cannot even speak English, and his shadowy and furtive Vice President who calls the shots. We have divided Europe and are now planning on starting a new Cold War, this time in the former countries of the Warsaw Pact.

Of course Europe wants Obama, as does anyone with a brain, which is most of the rest of the world and over half of this country

True; the level of education is really high in Europe which explains the heavy Obama support.

If the level of education was as high in the United States, Obama would be winning by 40 points in the polls.
