Poll: An outsiders view of the American presidential election
I'm just curious to find out what non-American citizens think of the results of the US election.

I originally wanted Hilary Clinton to get the Democrat nomination because I thought that the Yanks would never elect a black man to the White House. Then he got the nomination & I heard Obama's speech in Berlin & was massively impressed. I said then that I would have voted for him in a flash. I am very happy that most Americans agreed

OK enough of the 'black man' talk. can we focus on himself and not the fact that he is black, and that people might or might not have voted for or against him because of that?
I know you mean nothing special by it, but this issue has been discussed enough in other threads, and has caused nothing but problems.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

I think his appointment will have a hugely positive effect on international relations between the US and other countries. I dont just mean with war efforts eg Iraq, Iran. More specifically I refer to the newfound feeling respect for the US which has been a common vibe i've been getting from people I speak to and posts on this forum that i've read. Its interesting to see that so far not a single non-US citizen has said they were backing McCain. And Bruno this isnt a comment on race, merely a comment on the difference between US political views and political views of other nations.
Then again i'll probably offend someone else by saying that.
Thats your cue to pipe up JMS....

I certainly think foreign relations will improve. After the last 4 years, nothing short of open warfare could make them worse.
That is also why I rooted for Obama.
I also have an opinion about how he regards internal issues like e.g gun control (to be honest, I don't have a clue about his position on that. this was an example) and other things. But that is different because they don't directly affect me. I may have opinions, and think that some things are good or not good, but ultimately I don't really care.
Foreign relations otoh do affect me, so that is what I care about.Last edited by Bruno; 11-07-2008 at 08:44 PM.
