Obama - not liked internationally?
 
Quote:

... if the world had its say, this election would be a blowout favoring the incumbent.

That's according to a BBC World Service poll taken in 21 countries. It found for the most part, foreign countries preferred Obama.

The only exception was Pakistan where more people said they preferred Romney.

Maybe, the preference for Obama is due to Romney having demonstrated the same international geography knowledge as Sarah Palin:

I anticipate Sesame Street will provide her next chart :D

That chart is not surprising and I'm sure is an accurate reflection.

If anyone remembers the Bush VS Gore election -- pretty much every country in the world preferred Gore by insane margins even wider than those.

Our democratic politicians come across as conservatives to the rest of the world ... and our republican politicians come across as wildly deranged and unstable psychopaths to the rest of the world.

Imagine if you live in another country -- and you hear Romney talk about how we need a larger Navy. Our military is laughably stronger than everyone elses and we spend money on defense like we're about to be invaded by some aliens who have superior firepower.

Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize and he's a certified war criminal.

Of course all of these countries want Obama to be Prez, you forgot to include Venezuela @ 80-90%. He is doing everything in his power economically to lower us to all of these countries standards.:zz:

And they were on target..and if not for his brother's state, no recount,hanging chads and SCOTUS there would never have been a president g w bush...

The people who live in foreign countries feel threatened by any American president or wanna be American president who believes in a God in the sky and is the commander and chief of a military that can wipe everyone off the face of the planet.

There are some born again Christians and Mormons who would be just fine with an apocalypse.

If France likes Obama, that's reason enough for him to go.

Yes, some are counting the days. Sarah Palin. Michelle Bachmann. Mitt Romney. Rick Santorum. Their love of Israel lies strictly within their own religion's teachings.

Psst ... you might want to actually read the thread. It was the BBC who did the poll. Not NPR ;) NPR had nothing to do with it.

A few hundred votes ahead, popular vote won, and the Supreme Court ordered vote counting to stop and declared the other guy the winner.

And there never would be 57,000 dead in Iraq. Or trillions in debt.

What would Al Gore have done on September 12, 2001?

You have no answer, no one does, not even Al Gore, so determining anything after that date is just more nonsense out of you.

I would guess, based upon Gores' statements and actions in the past, he wouldn't have pulled a Bush and ignored the warning about Sept 11 in the first place.

Let alone go on to invade a country that had nothing the hell to do with it, killing thousands of Americans and citizens for nothing.

And your pretending it wouldn't have been different under a different president is just more ridiculous nonsense out of you. Go vote for Romney and get your Social Security and Medicare taken away, while you pay for his tax cuts and send our children to die in Iran for Bibi.

Gores' statements and actions in the past? What exactly do you mean?
Read an actual book as opposed to blog posts and theories/rhetoric about 9/11 warnings, I suggest Ghost Wars, http://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Wars-Afg.../dp/1594200076 you might actually learn something as opposed to parroting whatever nonsense you read in the newspaper or internet.
I am 37, SS and Medicare are things I will continue to pay for and never see.

That my guess about what would have happened in the world under a Gore presidency is exactly as accurate as your guess.

But envisioning an American invasion of Iraq for no reason shouldn't have remotely be on anybody's radar screen - and wasn't even in the Bush presidency. Even after 9/11. It took Bush a while to use 9/11 as an excuse to invade Iraq.

Yes - I feel pretty damn confident saying that an Al Gore presidency would not have involved an invasion of Iraq and the deaths of thousands of Americans in that country.

Clip-Clop 10-24-2012 12:14 PM

Try this one too, might give you some insight into the middle east.

I have both in paper copies and will happily mail them to you if you promise to read them before the election.

Guessing is all we have. Gore included.
