The World Wants Obama

Filed under: Barack Obama

wenn2052621.jpg

John McCain may be experiencing a sudden surge in popularity, but…..

According to a new poll, the entire world wants Barack Obama to win the U.S. presidency!

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.

The margin in favour of Senator Obama ranged from 9 per cent in India to 82 per cent in Kenya, while an average of 49 per cent across the 22 countries preferred Senator Obama compared with 12 per cent preferring Senator McCain. Some four in 10 did not take a view.

The world may want it but….

It's Americans that do the voting.

Make sure you cast your ballot!

    maybe she's on roids…



  8. 8

    Yeah the world may want Barack but it's the USA that votes. I would venture to guess that there are plenty of people out there that say they want Barack in the US but are not even registered to vote. If you are registered then you have to actually make it to cast that vote as well.



  9. 9

    Honestly, this should say enough. If the WORLD can see that he is the smarter, better choice… that just goes to say that half of our own country.. all of those in favor of John McCain, are blind/deaf/close-minded to change.

    just another reminder of why i'll be voting for mccain-palin. the whole world sure as hell is not looking out for america's interest - they're looking out for their own interest.

    I am from Europe, and I have to say that most of the europeans Im talking to fear that Obama will become president, as we dont see him strong enough to keep the power of USA.
    And here we listen lots of stuff about the Obama's, which arent very inspiring… The job of Michelle consisted in pulling appart people without a medical insurance of a private hospital… Come on!
    Kisses and good luck with your election!

  23. 23

    yes people….VOTE!!!



  24. 24

    That's because America is stupid. That's why the world continues to laugh at us. That's why if McCain is elected, the WORLD will come after us. I say bring it on - PLEASE put us out of our misery. And please do the Democrats a favor, and take out those Republicans first, specifically pitbulls with lipstick, Ann Coulter, Matt Druge, and all Fox News anchors.

    Thank you.

    Re: Jay23

    roid rage would be a perfect explanation for her disgusting arms as well as her bitchy ass domineering disposition



  32. 32

    Under G W Bush, The United States has lost the respect of the rest of the world. When I travel internationally, I try my hardest to avoid identifying myself as an American. People roll their eyes in disgust, & want to discuss foreign policies, that I completely disagree with. If pressed for an answer about my home, I say San Francisco, & then the reply is "great city".
    If the rest of the world want us back on our feet again…..? Why don't the rest of you want your part of the world to be a better place again?



  33. 33

    she is fuckin scary lookin. veins are not hot on old ladies

    that is all fine and dandy that the world wants him to win, but remember it is the USA that gets to decide whether he will be our next president.

    after all we-are the most embarrassing country in the world. nobody likes us.

    Re: Intellect_Rules – i agree with what you say. the REPUBLIKKKANS gots to go!

    who cares what the WORLD wants…this is OUR country. and Obama really isn't good for the country. sounds good…but isn't… sorry. the end.

    How can you poll 22,000 different people and claim they represent the ENTIRE world? This means nothing.



  40. 40

    Yea b/c the rest of the world actually understands what is going on! These dumb ass americans who are republicans should leave and go start their own country that can fail, cause I sure as fuck don't want to be involved with people who only care about themselves. Conservatism is such a self-serving ideal and doesn't make ANY real sense. Good luck for those of you who vote for McCain and when Obama blows his and Palin's skank ass out of the water just fucking leave PLEASE!



  41. 41

    oh and by the way… in europe young people is NOT interested in America failing… Europe is old-minded and altough we have a lot more social protection than you, we are failing in progress at the moment. We dont make strong political decisions…
    Young people doesnt want america to fail. not at all.



  42. 42

    uh, maybe the world is thinking about its own interests

  43. SEER says – reply to this


    43

    McCain's surge in the polls is thanks to Sarah Palin. Americans, especially women, need to understand that Palin is a Republican stooge who will do absolutely NOTHING to improve the lives of ordinary Americans. Palin is not a maverick…she is a lockstep Rightard chosen because she appeals to rednecks, racists and Christian fundamentalists.
    .
    Vote McBush/Failin' in '08: If You're Dumb As A Post!



  44. 44

    The attitude of some Americans: "it's our country etc. etc. ad infinitum" is selfish and not in their own interests.. good luck with having Republicans in for another 4 years. Your economy is going to hell and you're still convinced you're unbeatable? Laughable.



  45. 45

    Re: mandzie f baby – yes, but i like a tight guy's body and she's so flexible we'd have crazy freak sex.

    well at least SOME people know what they're doing… c'mon america, take one for our world team!!!



  51. 51

    Because the rest of the world is doing sooooo well with their chosen leaders. England hates their prime minister, Russia = totalitarian, China= censorship….hrmmm…most of these people have no idea what a democratic voting process is, much less who would make a better president for the most powerful country in the world.



  52. 52

    I vote for whoever CELEBRITIES vote for!



  53. 53

    She called McCain, a man who was a tortured POW for 5yrs and who fought to defend and protect our country…HITLER!! I can't believe the ignorance coming out of Madonna's mouth!Maybe all the steroids she's shooting are starting to go to her head.
    -
    I honestly love Madonna and grew up listening to her, but after I heard her call McCain Hitler I became nauseated. It's soooooo IGNORANT! If you don't like him and don't want to vote for him thats fine, but to call him Hitler when he's the exact opposite is just disrespectful to your country. Every American who enjoys their freedoms should have Respect for our US Soldiers, it is especially cruel knowing that McCain was tortured for 5yrs, had his arms repeatedly broken, in a cast from his neck down, listening to his story is enough to bring tears to anyones eyes!…..HAVE SOME HUMAN DECENCY…Madonna is a hypocrite and she knows nothing about McCain, she's too busy touring and making $200 a seat to understand American Problems and maybe she should just move back to London if she hates this country so much. BUT This Country Makes Her Rich, so she would never do that!



  54. 54

    Of course the rest of the world wants that Muslim Bastard in the White House, but too bad, the rest of the world doesn't get the vote in the U.S., not legally anyway! McCain WILL be our next President. No go cry a river!

  55. buck says – reply to this


    55

    here is a list of countries recently polled that overwhelmingly want Barack…Syria, Sudan, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Jordan, Iran, Somalia. This list alone should tell us all that McCain is the best choice for America



  56. 56

    Obama.

    Anyway, I understand Ms. Madonna wants be healthy and fit, but not too long ago she was saying she wish she could be more zaftig. So why not be like that, dear? :)



  57. 57

    she needs her veins stripped, like they do with legs!!



  58. 58

    Of course they do…we will be so weak if Obama wins. It will be easier for the rest of the world to mess with us. I can't stand Obama or his ugly ass wife! My opinion, you liberals on here can go…you know where :)



  59. 59

    NO SHIT! he's gonna send our jobs and our money to every country on earth instead of keeping them HERE! Americans who give billions upon billions of dollars for OTHER countries natural disasters, charities, causes, etc. Yet when something happens to use we get nothing in return. Of course they want Obama and his liberal lets hug and embrace everyone even our enemies and let them eat cake attitude!
    .
    Obama the lover of outsourcing and making other countries wealthy. I'd want him too!

    Re: Swimstud – AND YOU LOOK LIKE YOUR DICK IS PROBABLY THE SIZE OF MY BABY FINGER!



  61. 61

    OMG! The entire world wants Obama? Then we must vote for him… because it's so important for all of us to do what the rest of the world wants us to do!
    McCain/Palin '08!



  62. 62

    ……and if McCain croaks in office, you seriously want Palin to be President?



  63. 63

    The world may want Obama because it's a fresh face — and a muslim thingy. How's a first term, junior senator, who's never even been a mayor, gonna rule the USA? Where's the experience?



  64. 64

    Of Course other countries want Obama Bin Biden to win…the Terrorists will be celebrating in the streets if he gets elected because they'll know they've won! The majority of other countries DON't LIKE AMERICANS people Wake Up!! They want to see us fail and want us to vote for the worst president of all time who will sit back and do nothing to defend this country!

  68. 68

    Its because with McCain/Palin…the US will continue with their bully tatics. That is why the other countries hate us…our arrogance. However, they need for us to proper for so many reasons…world security is very high on the list.



  69. 69

    too bad americans are selfish and don't care about how their actions and votes affect the lives of people everywhere.



  70. 70

    Wow. I am TOTALLY voting for Obama now! I was on the fence until I heard some guy who calls himself "Steve" from a New Delhi call center thought I should vote for Obama. Can we check with the unwashed, uneducated foreign crowd again and see what kind of car I should be driving?

    Re: LatinDaddy
    PLEASE I work out and your muscles look a little bigger after working them, but this bitch is on STEROIDS and HGH..I know plenty of people on them..she's not naturally that buff I don't care how much she works out, she's not taking a high dosage, but she's definitely on some shit for sure!



  72. 72

    Re: misskris321 – why shouldn't they matter? we're the most powerful country in the world, what we do affects the lives of others you selfish little pig. people like you are the reason everyone hates us.



  73. 73

    Why would other countries want the U.S to fail?…Alot of other countries are dependent upon U.S aid. I'm just wondering about your logic on that.

    I don't mean that I agree other countries want the US to fail I believe the opposite is true I was wondering why some people on here were insinuating that that may be the case. I believe we are all dependent on eachother for some reason or another and I HIGHLY doubt that people in other countries would not put an honest answer in a poll. Gosh no wonder everyone else in the world thinks Americans are egotistical and self centered. Just because they may not be able to vote in our electionthat does not mean they can't show their opinon and support for a candidate. Afterall the winner of this election and his foreign policies will affect the world.We don't live in a damn bubble.

    P.S. I wonder what it would be like if the US were divided by voting party. Which side would succed?…



  74. 74

    Re: mmwin – If you had any sort of grasp of how polling works you'd understand that for every person polled it represents a certain amount of people. Same goes for all of the public polls that are being used in the presidential campaigns today. Do you really think it would be efficient to poll every goddamned person in the country just so idiots like you would think the polls would be more "accurate"?

    Grow the fuck up and please don't vote because the last thing we need is idiots like you voting for McCain and fucking us all over for another four years.



  75. 75

    Re: LatinDaddy – Do you want all the republicans to go because you're not here legally? or because you don't want a job and you just want to sit and wait for the welfare check every month?



  76. 76

    madonna doesn't even want to live in her own country so who wants to listen to who she wants to be president??



  77. 77

Who invented the first production car, who landed on the moon first, who has made it possible for women to vote and take part in our community….would you like me to go on? In brains and morals this country is much smarter than most the world. How dare you sit here and call Americans stupid when we are just exercises our FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Do me a favor, go right down some actual arguments and then come back. Please, your even making the low-life that runs this site look half smart.



  81. 81

    um hellloo!

    the whole world sees barack obama as the WEAKER future president of the current strongest country on earth….. WAKE UP AMERICAA!!!!!!!

    Re: StoneM – That was quite possibly the most racist, closeminded, ignorant, unfunny thing I have ever seen posted on this site [including Perez' own comments.] Thank you.



  83. 83

    If Madonna, Oprah and Streisand vote for him, I sure as hell won't. Do these rich celebrity's really believe the common people will follow their lead? I think not, in fact I believe it will back fire. Poor Obama.



  84. 84

    Re: lexisalazar – That is exactly how I feel. They think Obama will roll over like a dog and be passive. Sure, it is nice to be liked in the world, but above all else I want my country safe and strong. I don't love McCain, but between the two I gotta go with the lesser of 2 evils.

  86. 86

    What Perez says is true about casting your ballot ! For all.

    Democrats - I can tell you that our one fatal flaw is . . . we don't actually make it to the polls — time and again.
    -
    Please, please, please - VOTE. It is so important that we get a REAL CHANGE FROM OBAMA.

    For the record, McCain 2009 Tax proposals give the largest tax CUT to . . . the wealthiest - I can't copy the article here, or I would.

    Re: madnifque – If the Republicans left you all would be screwed. WE PAY ALL THE TAXES!!!! Ya know tax cuts for the rich? Well guess what!! The rich are republicans. The bottom 50% of wage earers is this country contribute to 3.2% of taxes. The majority being democrat. I'd love to see you keep your precious welfare projects and social security progams afloat with numbers like that.



  89. 89

    The only reason the world wants Obama to be elected is so that America will lose it's number one status. Obama is all about making the world happy. McCain chooses to put America first and keeping us in power.

    I don't know about all of you. But, I choose not to lose our power.

    I choose McCain.

  95. 95

    Right, vote for Barack Oamerico, as introduced recently by his VP running mate, Joe Biden. Vote for the Columbia University and Harvard Law School graduate who thinks there are 57 states. Nobama!

  98. 98

    WOW Madonna's wearing his shirt so I'm going to vote for him!!! FUCKING IDIOTS, he's a BRAND not a PRESIDENT! All he does by showing up on shows like Ellen or Oprah or Tyra Banks, while doing a stupid dance is showing how UN-PRESIDENTIAL he is! All the brainless fall into the advertising overload and don't do their own RESEARCH!!! Perez, you're just a fudge-packing sheep following the pack. sad sad sad

    Re: Harvard Grad – Going to harvard doesn't mean you're cool, just to let you know. And many of the extremely rich are actually democrats. It's been statistically proven that the more education a person has, the more liberal they become. The extremely rich, good hearted people have enough pay higher taxes and don't mind doing to it to help those who are less fortunate. The republicans are the ones who are just extremely selfish with their money and not nearly as rich…



  100. 100

    Sadly enough, alot of americans are idiots.
    And they'll vote for McCain.
    Hopefully Obama wins. I so don't want 4 more years of bush.
