The World Hopes for Its First President
Newsweek ^ | Nov. 1, 2008 | Stryker McGuire

Posted on 11/02/2008 12:13:59 PM PST by FocusNexus

It's very clear who they are interested in: Barack Obama. John McCain and Sarah Palin are by all accounts still in the race, but McCain has become a political cipher in a world that has of late tuned into Obama 24/7.

The world loved the idea that a man named Barack Hussein Obama could become America's 44th president after a 200-year string of white guys named Washington and Jefferson, Clinton and Bush. Asia was trying to claim Obama for his Indonesian childhood, Africa for his Kenyan father, and the Middle East for his middle name, says Ahmed Benchemsi, who edits both of Morocco's leading newsweeklies, one in French, one in Arabic.

Let me summarize:

Most of "the world" hates the US,( because we give opportunities to our people, because of our freedoms and despite our enormous amount of help to the world).

Most of the world wants to see the US weakened, stop being a superpower, many actually want to see the US destroyed.

All of these are enthusiastically supporting Obama and wanting him to be president.

This should give US VOTERS a clue -- maybe we shouldn't elect someone who is supported by all our enemies.

It’s good to know that “the messiah” is going to use U.S. taxpayer dollars to “change the world.”

I just love how the media began four years ago saying that the polls between Bush and Kerry were tight...but the world wants Kerry so bad. I for one could care less about how the rest of the world thinks about us.

Remember Obama’s Berlin Speech

“I come to Berlin as so many of my countrymen have come before. Tonight, I speak to you not as a candidate for President, but as a citizen — a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world.”

http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/0,1518,567920,00.html

We don’t want our president to be a “CITIZEN OF THE WORLD”. We want a PRESIDENT OF THE US, who puts the interests of the US FIRST.

"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith,
but to become dominant. The Qur'an should be the highest authority in America,
and Islam the only accepted religion on earth
"

--Omar Ahmed, Chairman of the Board of CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations), San Ramon Valley Herald, July 1998


Qur’an 8:12 “I shall terrorize the infidels.
So wound their bodies and incapacitate them
because they oppose Allah and His Apostle.”

Qur’an 8:57 “If you gain mastery over them in battle,
inflict such a defeat as would terrorize them,
so that they would learn a lesson and be warned.”

It’s good to know that “the messiah” is going to use U.S. taxpayer dollars to “change the world.”

Obama has already been pushing in the Senate the Global Poverty Act of the UN, which is supposed to do just that, take the money from the US taxpayers and give it “to the world”.

If we need to prove that Obama stole this election and McPalin wins, does the Messiah lose his Secret Service privileges?

Obama’s Global Tax Proposal Up for Senate Vote

Feb. 2008

http://www.aim.org/aim-column/obamas-global-tax-proposal-up-for-senate-vote/

A nice-sounding bill called the “Global Poverty Act,” sponsored by Democratic presidential candidate and Senator Barack Obama, is up for a Senate vote on Thursday and could result in the imposition of a global tax on the United States. The bill, which has the support of many liberal religious groups, makes levels of U.S. foreign aid spending subservient to the dictates of the United Nations.

Senator Joe Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has not endorsed either Senator Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton in the presidential race. But on Thursday, February 14, he is trying to rush Obama’s “Global Poverty Act” (S.2433) through his committee. The legislation would commit the U.S. to spending 0.7 percent of gross national product on foreign aid, which amounts to a phenomenal 13-year total of $845 billion over and above what the U.S. already spends.

A release from the Obama Senate office about the bill declares, “In 2000, the U.S. joined more than 180 countries at the United Nations Millennium Summit and vowed to reduce global poverty by 2015. We are halfway towards this deadline, and it is time the United States makes it a priority of our foreign policy to meet this goal and help those who are struggling day to day.”

The legislation itself requires the President “to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the United States foreign policy objective of promoting the reduction of global poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty, and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people worldwide, between 1990 and 2015, who live on less than $1 per day.”


Obama wants to use OUR money, while his own brother IS living on $1 a day, but Obama isn’t helping him out.

I agree enitrely with your summation. The Euroweenies and the rest of ‘’the world’’ seethes with envy at our success, doesn’t understand how its possible and couldn’t manage to succeed on their own even if they could figure it out. Two generations of my family shed their blood in the last two world wars of the last century for Europeans and ‘’the world’’. Screw the ‘’world’’. We know where the world is when it needs us.
