Gee, thanks for reminding us, MSM. Because, y'know,... we're STOOOPID!!! What unbridled, insane, arrogant hubris! 

Who cares what "the world" thinks? What does that have to do with our election? Remember, it's a crime, a sin, for us to "interfere" in the "internal workings" of other governments.

This really does keep getting better and better every single day. They just can't stop drinking the kool-aid!

...the south end of a north bound horse what these morons think?

Once again, the MSM falls right in behind the aftermath of Osama Bama's "World Appeasement Tour".  

Yep, just like the old sci/fi movies when the aliens were moving in, the battle cry was "maybe we can communicate with them" - then they were blown to smithereens!  

Good to see Osama doing so well in the 57 states of Europe!

This is hilarious. There must be war rooms of liberals sitting around all day brainstorming for anything they can possibly use to prop up Obama. As far as I'm concerned, Obama can be King of the world... He just can't be President of the United States.

These polls are rubbish and trash as the world does not vote WE DO.

Our TV personalities to even discuss it is ludicrous.

The vast majority of people all over the world who are in situations that they would prefer to be different, either economic or political, would like to come to the USA to make that change. It's mostly because we are so different from the majority of the world. Compared to most other countries, people do have the ability to do anything that they want to here, they are treated well and respectfully by most and there is generally no stigma associated with who your ancestors were. Given the chance, at no cost to them, most people would jump at the opportunity to come to America and start a new life.

So, when the rest of the world wants us to pick a political 'leader' who owuld bring this great country closer to the reality of Europe, we should be very careful and ask ourselves do we really want to fit in and be part of that 'group' or should we continue on the independant course that makes America such a magnet to those who want a second chance?

The day that "politician" became a career choice is the day we started losing the Republic. Let's get it back! Alan Keyes '08.

In Kenya, for example, is where many of his siblings, step siblings, members of his family live. They like, know Obama.

and wish he might send them $10

Oh Johnny...go cry me a river...who gives a rats rear what the rest of the world thinks...

Nobody but you desperate losing fools in the msm who are losing their minds with fear and desperation in your melt-down mode...

Here is the latest of what Americans think...and this is going to change before the election too...in our favor...you know, the guys on the right side of life.

Btw...I see where msnbc and CNN like to keep showing Mt. as a toss-up state, if you look at the polls here...Palin/McCain are up 9 pts.

"America isn't the problem...America is the solution." ~ Rush Limbaugh

If I were part of the liberal media, I would stifle the news that Obama is a world favorite. When you're the lone super power, the rest of the world would be happy to see you decline and even better fall. This poll speaks to how much a Pres Obama would hurt our economy, military, and national security.

What was the title of her last book? "If Democrats Had Brains, They'd Be Republicans".  Well if Europeans had brains, they'd be Americans.  I'm sick of hearing "Bush squandered all the good will post 9/11.....".  The "world" pitied (i.e., "good will") us because on that day the US was a wounded puppy.  Well, that didn't last long and when the US went on the offense the "good will" (i.e., pity) was suddenly "squandered".  Now, we have two pit-bulls, one with lipstick - I'm surprised at "12%".

"An overwhelming majority of the 22,000 people who are polled across 22 countries around the world favor an Obama presidency."

Who did the poll anyway?  I never heard of 22,000 people being polled.  Over what period of time did it take to accomplish this?

BTW...........  YOU CAN HAVE HIM!!!!!!!

Hey, MSM: The world doesn't vote for our President!  This is just another stupid journalism trick, an act of desperation by an arrogant media that has long supported uber-liberal candidates (McGovern, Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, Clinton, Gore, Kerry, and now Obama).   

"Perhaps more surprisingly, John, is when you look at the numbers from NATO allies."

Sorry CNN, but I don't think that I really want France, Germany, and the rest of Europe to pick our leaders for us. After all, we seem to keep pulling their collective asses out of the fires of history every generation or two.

If the Europeans want Obama, then it's obvious that WE DON’T, as European history doesn't speak well for supporting successful leaderships! Remember WWI and WWII? Remember the centuries of warfare the Europeans seemed to enjoy. Remember the starvation, the despair, the suffering, the mass starvations, the plagues, the death that the leaders of Europe have inflicted on their "subjects" since the dawn of civilization? This is the type of leadership favored by Europeans.

America has done more in the last 100 years to advance and protect human life and expand general prosperity than the rest of the word has accomplished in the last 5000 years, especially Europe. If I were Obama, I'd distance myself from the Europeans as much as possible.

Obama: My job is above my pay grade

Of course they would love to see Obama. They want the USA to fail and become socialistic like them. Obama will lead to that.

We should point out, though, that only people in the United States, people who are Americans, get the opportunity to vote. But it's interesting to look at that worldwide opinion.

No its not. It just gives you liberal types something to talk about.

Save a SeAL, club a liberal!!

What to people REALLY think about Obama and McCain?

 Take our survey and help us find out...

 http://sitemaker.umich.edu/jginges2

I consider myself a deliberate moderate.  I'm not as socially conservative as some on the right are, but I am certainly not as liberal economically as the left is.  But I think given what has transpired in the last 30 years, the need for intelligent regulation of business is obvious.  I'm an idealist, but I temper my idealism with rational thought about how well-intentioned actions impact the real world.

Anyhow, having laid out a very brief outline of my political leanings, I'm left with a difficult this election.  Neither candidate fits my beliefs exactly, but I frankly fear the economic socialism of the left more than I do the social conservatism of the right.  Honestly, I don't think the right can really get what it wants, at least its more extreme views, and that makes me less nervous about a Republican president.Early on, I admit, I kind of bought into the Obama personality cult, but as the campaign has progressed, I realize that while he may be a good person to have a beer with, he's not the right person to be President of the US.  He doesn't seem to react well under pressure, and his mantra of "change" is very hollow since his version of change is just typical Democratic Party talking points.  And whatever happened to the "uniter" tag he had?  What has he done to bring the country together?  Hogwash.  Anyway, here are some random thoughts on this election:

1.      The media is disgustingly biased.  The View rips McCain and questions his "reformer" credentials but never gives Obama the same scrutiny about his "change" platform.  The media rips Palin for daring to be religious, for going to a "certain" kind of church, but gives Obama a pass on the hate-filled church he went to for years.  The media questions Palin's experience, but does no equal digging into Obama's "resume" of community organizer and 3-year Senator without any executive experience.  Charlie Gibson and the NYT can't wait to make Palin look bad, and when given the chance to interview Obama, they ask him how he puts up with the RNC attacks instead of pushing him to give specifics on his "change" platform.  I can go on and on, but the evidence is clear.  The left knows it and they don't even try to dispute it anymore.  They are just happy that the MSM is on their side. 

2.      Palin seems really well put together.  And if, like me, you might be worried a little bit by her social conservatism, I suggest you look at her record.  Look at how she has governed.  It seems clear based on that record that she doesn't push government intrusion into peoples' personal lives.  That, of course, is a rational objective review of her.  Contrast that with the so-called "pro-women" libs who are foaming at the mouth to discredit her.  Apparently "firsts" only count if they are liberals.

3.      McCain seems to be an honorable man, and would make a good president.  BTW, remember not that long ago when he was the darling of the MSM because he was the "maverick"?  Remember how excited they were that he might run with Kerry?  That all ended when he became the Rep nominee for president.  Remind you of Bush's "they are either with us or against us" approach that the lib media panned?

4.      We need real leadership to deal with the financial crisis in this country.  Sorry, but I happen to think a former POW who has championed many pieces of important legislation is just a little more of a leader than a "community organizer".  I cannot believe that we would even seriously debate that.

Anyhow, as of today, I'm in McCain's camp.  I don't see myself changing because if there is one thing I can't stand it's blatant unfairness, and the media's ridiculous, biased, fawning, campaigning efforts on Obama's behalf really cannot be allowed to succeed.  That would be the end of objective journalism - and thus TRUE freedom of the press - in this country.

1. The MSM has reached the point where NONE of the major US poll the MSM can cite show Obama ahead.  So rather than do that, they instead cite "world" polls that are irrelevant (but allow them to not cover the fact that McCain/Palin is ahead).

2.  Just ONCE, i wish a reporter would ask these Europeans who keep blaming the US for not signing on to the global warming bandwagon why none of the EU nations are meeting the Kyoto Accords themselves.

Kerry had the EXACT same numbers before the election in 2004.  Did the fact that the world fawned over Kerry help him win?  NO YOU LIBERALS.  Pull your mind out of the pretzel logic you've wrapped yourself in.  How is nominating someone EVEN MORE LEFT THAN KERRY, and EVEN LESS ELEQUENT, going to get him elected?

BECAUSE THE WORLD loves charismatic marxists?

At this point why do we trust the European's opinions on leadership anyways?

Palin has accomplished great things, while Obama has continued to make empty promises that the world owes you a living.

Europeans shouldn't worry about what they think of the US.  Europe should be concerned about what the US thinks of them.

Dear friend in the USA. 

 Let me introduce myself.  I am the son of a high ranked govenmental official here in Kenya.  My father traveled extensively due to his high and important rank and fathered many children all over the world.. In fact you may know my exhalted half brother who is favored by all my countrymen to win your election.  I am contacting you since you are highly recommended to share  with me 100 million dollars which my esteemed father accumulated while he was doing services for our country.  Due to the technicality that he was beheaded on totally trumped up and unfair charges I need your bank account numbers so I can transfer the money to you. Please also to show your good faith send me $10,000.00 and be assured I will send the 100 million to you.and when I get to your country we will then share it equally. Many thanks your friend and partner in good fortune Hussein B. OsBama

 I like the lighthearted nature of this batch of comments. I live in a liberal enclave in South Carolina and when I comment to folks about Palin I use the following politically neutral comment - If nothing else Palin's nomination is going to make things fun.

That's like reading Marx to become an entrepreneur.

One of two things is the case here, and I'll let you all decide for yourselves.  Either:  A)  CNN is really filled with people so ignorant, so incompetent as to not realize that "An overwhelming majority of the 22,000 people" polled are not only uninterested in what is good for the US, but are actively in favor of anything leading to a decline in US power.  We go down, they go up.  Simple, if you've got more than one neuron.  B)  The folks at CNN are fully aware of the previous, and agree with said group's desires.  In short, they're morons, traitors, or both.  My money's on the last.

"It has been said that politics is a popularity contest. And according
to a new BBC Poll, Barack Obama is more popular among people overseas."  Great.  The opinion of the folks who aren't interested in the well-being of the US might matter if they could vote here.  They can't (thank God), so they don't, now shut up about it.

Obama must be in a really bad way if his alphabet-soup PR agencies feel the need to remind us that people irrelevant to the election love him.  Frankly, I don't give a rip whether or not the rest of the corrupt world loves BO.  What is right is rarely popular, and what is popular is rarely right.
