Global Poll Finds Obama Preferred in All Countries But U.S.
Foxnews ^ | 10/6/2008 | Foxnews

Posted on 10/06/2008 2:23:10 PM PDT by Red in Blue PA

Barack Obama's proclamation last July to being a "citizen of the world" was affirmed Monday as a new poll -- taken before the August conventions -- showed that in 16 out of 17 countries surveyed he was the overwhelming choice to be the next president of the United States.

The lone country to prefer a John McCain presidency: the U.S.

The Reader's Digest magazine poll, released Monday, asked 17,000 people in 17 countries, including the U.S., whom they would like to see elected president.

The poll also found that, counter to Obama's claims that America's reputation abroad is taking a beating, half of the 16 countries surveyed offered strong "pro-American" sentiments.

Obama's favorability ratings soared in Brazil, Taiwan, Germany -- the site of his "citizen of the world" pronouncement -- and the Netherlands, where support for the Illinois senator exceeded 90 percent. The Reader's Digest poll findings are consistent with other international polls conducted this year on the presidential race.

A BBC poll released Sept. 10, for instance, found that Obama was preferred 4-to-1 on average across 22,000 people surveyed in 22 foreign countries.

But in the U.S., Obama's pre-convention margin of support was dramatically smaller, revealing stark differences in his national and international perception, according to the Reader's Digest survey. In fact, before the conventions, the poll showed McCain holding a 38-36 percent lead over his Democratic opponent.

"Global Poll Finds Obama Preferred in All Countries But U.S."

That means we're doing the right thing since most of us don't like terrorists, and the rest of the world doesn't seem to have a problem with them.

Since the real objective of the Dem campaign is to loot the United States on behalf of the media-enslaved foreign masses, it is natural that the latter would favor the Dem candidate. The rest of us, as potential victims rather than beneficiaries of this scam, are obliged to see it otherwise.

Obama Preferred in All Countries But U.S.>>>>>>>>

Thats because they don't have to vote for him.

Just under 30% of Americans think they have to vote for him.....OR ELSE!!

So here is the title: "Global Poll Finds Obama Preferred in All Countries But U.S."

...and here is the first line in the article: "...as a new poll -- taken before the August conventions -- showed that in 16 out of 17 countries surveyed he was the overwhelming choice to be the next president of the United States."

I'd have to say that a survey of 17 countries hardly constitutes "All Countries". I bet if we were to survey the countries that have problems with Muslims and Communists, we would get a totally different answer.

Yes, socialist Europe fawns over Obama; no doubt Cuba, Russia, and of course much of the middle east cites him as their fave —

We ask ourselves, is this the kind of company we wish to keep? I think NOT!!!!!!!! This guy is dangerous and it’s time more Americans figured that out!

Sounds right. Regardless of the claim that people wish to be “citizens of the world”, they’re all nationalistic and would prefer to see a choice that would hurt America. Obama is that choice, and everyone knows it.

Just another reason to vote for McCain/Palin.

The rest of the world is jealous. They want us brought down to their level. And they know that electing Obama would be a good start at that!

How about Obama openly campaigning for his communist cousin Odinga who signed a pact with Muslims to enact Sharia Law if elected and started riots when he lost. Obama campaigned for an openly Anti-American candidate in a foreign country in 2006 at taxpayer expense.

Sure they are, their waiting for their “war on global poverty” check that will be sponsored by the taxpayers of America. MASSIVE E-MAIL SEND, e-mail everyone on your list, utube vids commentary and information on this domestic terrorist running for the presidency, suggest they to e mail them to everyone on thier list and so on, GET THE MESSAGE OUT THERE, TIME IS RUNNING OUT,MOST PEOPLE IN AMERICA ARE WATCHING THE LEFT WING MEDIA NEWS SHOWS AND NOT GETTING THE REAL TRUTH. THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO GET OUT THE VOTE MESSAGE!
