The World Votes For Obama

Should we care what the world thinks about our presidential candidates?

The latest data come courtesy of the BBC, which commissioned a survey of 23,531 people in 22 countries for their views about the U.S. election. The not-so-astounding result: Barack Obama is the favorite in all 22 countries.

The answer is yes and it's all the more reason we should elect Mc'Cain. The rest of the world answers that question based on their interests, not ours. And it's obvious they would like to see us weaker and more like them, especially in Europe, where resentment of America has more to do with embarrassment over their own inadequacies and feelings of schadenfreude than anything we've done. Who they would call when there's trouble with say, Russia or Iran, doesn't seem to occur to the continent that gave us Hitler, Stalin and Marx.

"Consider another global survey, this one from the University of Maryland-based WorldPublicOpinion.org, concerning the perpetrators of 9/11. Out of the 17 countries surveyed, majorities in only nine of them believed that al Qaeda was responsible for the attacks. In Turkey, a longstanding NATO ally, 36% believed that the U.S. government was the culprit. In Egypt, 43% blamed Israel.

More remarkably, a mere 56% of Britons, 63% of the French and 64% of Germans named al Qaeda, while 26% said they "do not know." Fully 23% of the German public blames the U.S. government, as do 15% of Italians."

There must be a lot of Alex Jones fans out there. I'm not going to consider seriously the opinion of overseas lunatics anymore than I do the ones we have right here.

Cult of Obama Gets Hit by Reality

The left is starting to get worried over their presidential chances and they should:

"The fact that the discontent isn't being recognized, isn't being assuaged, is
disturbing. People aren't worried about the election, they're becoming
despondent about it. They're not motivated to work twice as hard, they instead
feel as if they've had the wind knocked out of them. This is far beyond a
healthy skepticism as to whether Obama can win. "

Look for a dead cat bounce after Denver. The electorate never forgot about Obama's radical associations and activities despite Democrats and the MSM's attempts to sweep them under the rug. Excuses and logical fallacies only work when your audience is as stupid and lacking in common sense as you think they are. That's why the polls have been so close for so long.

Additionally, Obama's penchant for qualifying every pro-American statement with a regurgitation of the radical chic notion of unique and worlwide American evil and guilt doesn't travel well beyond the confines of Chicago's salons.


Mc'Cain is pulling even as voters are starting to see that Obama really is as vapid and insubstantial as Paris Hilton. His disastrous appearance at Saddleback is just a preview of more train wrecks to come.


Now that Obama's teetering, watch for the Clintons to push him over the edge. His "peace in our time" failure to recognize his enemies by giving them three nights of prime time in the interest of "unity" reveals a naivete that could get us all killed if he were President.


Anyone who's been paying attention for the last twenty years knows that the Clinton's are the most ruthless and ambitious tag team in modern politics. And they're experts at not leaving fingerprints on their hits and have perfected the art of plausible denial. There is no way they're going to just pass the baton and cheer him on.


The huge Mass Obama plans for his coronation will more than likely come off as a caricature and a confirmation of Mc'Cain's ads. Having wild eyed lunatic and hypocrite Al Gore as the opening act isn't going to help. Thrown in the moonbat protesters along with the scary cult that has sprung up around him and you have a recipe for an epic flame out.

Obama Investments Losing Value, Mc'Cain Gains

The evil speculators over at InTrade bid down Obama by more than 10% over the last month and have bumped Mc'Cain. Obama's price is still much higher, but the folks who risk real money on these things are obviously seeing some warts on The One. The post-convention trading will be interesting. Stay tuned.
