92% of the French, 89% of the Germans, 72% of the British and 66% of the Japanese want Obama re-elected

Der Spiegel, Germany's most respected news-magazine:

I am a recurring viewer of the BBC World News America, along with PBS Newshour, both of whom give a great perspective of the world and the “outside looking in” views of the US. I have seen Katty Kay, one of the BBC anchors based here on talk shows and she knows more about the issues than almost every US politician as she sees the issues with less bias and in a more holistic way which is refreshing. Outside of PBS Newshour, American news anchors tend to talk about the game of politics and steer clear of the substantive issues. Plus the real issues are less tantalizing (Clint Eastwood trumps Marco Rubio, e.g.)

This outside in view is helpful to describe the next point made by Kaplan regarding the world view on the election. According to a another Pew Poll as reported by CNN, global attitudes toward President Obama as a leader make Rice’s comments dubious:

87% of the Germans, 86% of the French, 80% of the British and 74% of the Japanese have confidence in Obama .
More striking than that, 92% of the French, 89% of the Germans, 72% of the British and 66% of the Japanese want Obama re-elected.

Phony stats once again. 75% of the world DESPISES this fraud Obama and rightly so. All the wars, mind control, body scanners, phony terrorism propaganda, him lying about killing so-called "Bin Laden"...what's to like about this asshole and NWO con-man? NOTHING.

right, but still the smaller evil

Yep. The lie that somehow Republicans spend less that democrats needs to end.

Democrats give people welfare and foodstamps

Republicans give their billionaire buddies tax breaks and give money to weapons manufacturers.


This lie needs to end.

The only fiscally conservative party that exists is the Libertarians.



despite what Fox News tell you, George W Bush got us into this financial mess we are in today.

Now, one of the 16 dollar an hour goernment paid shills will tell me that I am a libtard and a communist... blah blah blah... wake the fuck up.

We should hold a global election. The country that wants him the most gets him.

still, I think it is interesting for americans to see how the world thinks about this

+ the world is in deed interested in how the election unfolds

I'm not surprised, since the world is full of impressionable idiots. I don't know if the world likes Obozo because he's good at being a condescending a-hole, if it's because he's a socialist, or because the world is naive enough to think that Obozo will end the wars. O has only kept running the same wars that Bush started, let Wall Street bankers continue to run rampant and cracked down on civil liberties even more than Bush did. If you like war, the police state, fascists, and Wall Street bankers, then Obama is your guy. Not that Romney will be any different. I just can't believe there are so many stupid people in the world that think Obozo is a good guy.

ron paul and nigel farrage all the way

The"world" needs to go fuck themselves and keep their nose our of our political process.

This shows how the MSM shapes peoples opinions.

most german, french and brittish people does not have a clue on american politics, or how it works.

eurotards are bombarded with the MSM Obama is go(o)d stuff all the time. Try to find a euro MSM article that puts Obama in bad light. You wont find it.

the only thing written about the other candidate is that he is part of some crazy reigion, and that he is a rich bastard.

If America kept their noses out of the rest of the world (Iraq, Afghanistan soon to be Iran?) then you might have a point.

fuck those countries. fuck their socialism. fuck what they think.

i want nothing in common with those nations.
