US Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama may be struggling to nudge ahead of his Republican rival in polls at home, but people across the world want him in the White House, a BBC poll said.
All 22 countries covered in the poll would prefer to see Senator Obama elected US president ahead of Republican John McCain.
In 17 of the 22 nations, people expect relations between the US and the rest of the world to improve if Senator Obama wins.
More than 22,000 people were questioned by pollster GlobeScan in countries ranging from Australia to India and across Africa, Europe and South America.

Isn’t it curious how they want Obama as president of somebody else’s country?

Only an American IDIOT sticks his wet finger up in the air and follows what the WORLD wants. Hollywood, the media, and the liberal democrats fall into that category.
What the WORLD wants is for Americans to eat sh*t and die! The moment the other half of this country figures that out, the better off we will all be.

Then let him go be the president in these countries. I wouldn’t want to deny them the pleasure of him running their governments. He’s all yours!

This is the same world which has supported such luminaries as Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Mao Zedong, Yasser Arafat, Robert Mugabe, Josef Stalin... the list could continue, but you get my point.

Then they can make him secretary general of the UN, as soon as the UN gets moved out of the US.

Probably a very good thing that “the world” doesn’t have thing one to say about it.

When the MSM relies on world opinion, it shows their “candidate” is in deep shit and ABC knows it.

My cousin believes the world should get that vote because it affects them more than it does us. She also is afraid of Obama because he is too “Republican”.

I think this poll needs to be publicized more. It will only help McCain/Palin.
