White Euros don't care about race relations, really. It's mouth music. They can support Obama, because they have no skin in the game. They'd NEVER elect him over there. tomw - I don't care what the rest of the world thinks of us (except that they respect our power). I do care what they think of Ahmadenijad. I don't want him being seen as sitting at the adult's table. Get it? Christine - Many of those posting here are clearly far from being Ignorant Rednecks. What an IGNORANT thing to say! What's wrong, by the way, with being religious? This is a conservative site. Don't like it? Don't come here. Good Lord! Matt, Esq. - Are you kidding me? What Would Euros Do? In what way are they superior to us? Economically? Their normal unemployment rate is over 8%. Their houses are smaller. Gas costs way more. They have nowhere near our lifestyle, despite the fact that they don't spend on the military as much as they are required to by treaty (2% of GDP). Culturally? They buy our culture left and right: music; movies; gadgets; clothes; food. They have more history, but the modern stuff comes from us. Political? They roll over and wet on themselves when it comes to matters of principle. They're political eunuchs. We have a strong President who can actually get something done. That's why we're the leader of the free world. That's also why we have such contempt for their opinions. Americans hate wienies! Only we indulge in the kind of large-scale largesse that we do. You know who is the most popular man in Africa? Bush! He has an 80% approval rating there, because of PEPFARS, etc.... This is something Angry African should consider, too. Africa LOVES Bush!

In the USA you are able to chose the people who make decisions, sort of. In Francee I get the chance to chose people who are one of those who choses people (EU commisioners) to over see those that make the decisions, in the UK I get the chance to vote for an MP in what is now a micky mouse parliment who choses a leader who is PM who is one of those that choses the people (EU Commisionsers) to over... seriously, I am not kidding you. Of course some decisions are left with our elected leaders but not many. So being that I no longer live in a democratic Europe, I follow the only one that really matters, the US one. I have not voted since 1997, it means nothing. However if Obama wins, the only good that will come out of it is one heck of a rebound the next time, but if he is anything like the people who have destroyed democracy in Europe, you might not even get that chance, he has already started attacking that much envied first amendment, if only we had that in Europe...

Well, they're lying. Anti-Americanism didn't begin in 2000 and won't end in November, even if the One ascends to his rightful place among the clouds and cherubim. See W, above, for details. European politics, media, and education is driven by leftism, and leftism (external and internal) regards the US as the enemy. If they want us to do something, you can bet it's not in our best interest. Christine, you say the same asinine, pathetic crap in every comments section. What are you, twelve? “a majority of respondents in 17 of the 22 countries believed America’s relations with the rest of the world would improve under an Obama presidency, while a majority in 15 countries said an Obama victory would ‘fundamentally alter’ their perception of America.”

The debate imho was a bit of a dull affair. It really was just a confirmation of the same consistent appearances and it did not alter my choices one iota. Nobody won or lost, they are still in the race and it will be seen at the polls. I agree somwhat with your opinions of liberal censorship, I think they censor and the GOP does not comment. The dems use the ambit and any body with any insight can see the folly and chance of the ambit. No I fear Obama..........................he needs to be kept in check. McCain is 'in check and needs a bit of encoragement but of the two its Mccain. We are heading for 'bad' weather economically and we need a calm and clear headed captain on the helm. I dont think Obama would be a good captain in rough weather. The Bunyip who by the way does not really exist. 888 Remember the democratic convention of pluralism………………to have a government that is of one mind is a totalitarion convention: one without the ability to be challenged.
