Worldwide cheers ?
Allow me, as a citizen of Europe, translate that sentence to you : 90% of the people of the world hate America, for various reason. They hope the no1 superpower will fail and they are really pleased that the USA will collapse with Obama as President.
The REAL friends of America are depressed right now.
It’s the ‘End of world poverty’. Right?
There are many dangers awaiting in this world. Our enemies join in the cheers. These are the same fools who gathered around Neville Chamberlain.
It’s time for our military everywhere in the world to come home to America.
They’re happy because they view Hussein’s win as a huge defeat for the U.S. ...but good luck getting American libs to see/admit that fact.
If Obama could translate the “love” of Europeans into something that tangibly benefits America — for example NATO
members bearing more of the burden in Afghanistan — I could develop some respect for the man.
Re: “This is the fall of the Berlin Wall times ten,” Rama Yade, France’s black junior minister for human rights, told French radio
They obviously never lived through communism.
They are about to.
The dwindling good will around the world is a myth, and the elation over Obama being black is overdone to say the least.
Reality is many pro Bush governments had come to power, and many countries are far more racist than the USA. They may not respect Obama.
Anyone ever listen to Russians, for example, talk about black people???
We just voted the world a big nipple.

Is this a normal reaction to a Senator with 143 days of experience, who has never released his birth certificate, medical records, or college transcripts, never authored a bill, never voted on anything controversial, and never stated anything specific in a speech?
The president of Kenya declared a public holiday.
A Japanese town named Obama celebrated in the streets.
Hundreds of students in Indonesia poured into the courtyard where they hugged each other, danced in the rain and chanted “Obama! Obama!”
“This is the fall of the Berlin Wall times ten,” Rama Yade, France’s black junior minister for human rights, told French radio. “America is rebecoming a New World—On this morning, we all want to be American so we can take a bite of this dream unfolding before our eyes,” she said.
In Britan, the Sun describes Obama’s victory as “one giant leap for mankind.”
In Rio: “It’s the beginning of a different era,” police officer Emmanuel Miranda said. “The United States is a country to dream about, and for us black Brazilians, it is even easier to do so now.”
“What an inspiration. He is the first truly global U.S. president the world has ever had,” said Pracha Kanjananont, a 29-year-old Thai sitting at a Starbuck’s in Bangkok. “He had an Asian childhood, African parentage and has a Middle Eastern name. He is a truly global president.”
This isn’t just a “we’re happy and congratulations” response—this is a “we welcome the second coming of the messiah” response.
There, now it's fixed proper.
Obama victory sparks cheers around the globe
To bad he ran for the United States Presidency and not the United Nations Presidency. If he was an American maybe the American people would have been the ones cheering.....
Yeah they cheer now since they don’t need anything but who is going to fill the void as we tank under Hussien O.
What of the next earthquake or tidal wave? What will happen seeing as the USA will have no disposable income anymore? What about security?
The world, always there when they need us...
Sadly we will not be able to answer anymore...
