Cafferty: Why Do Citizens in 70 Countries Prefer Obama?

[Stifsim6]

Who gives a shit what people in other countries think of our President?! I do not stay awake at night worrying who the Prime Minister of (enter counrty of choice) is...that's their issue, good or bad.

For the record, Obama and McCain are both bad jokes...anyone really worth having is entirely too smart to run for the office.

Sad, really, isn't it?

[jwh30385]

@Stifsim6 Because America can't really do much but return to isolationism if the prime minister of (enter country of choice) will lose the next election for allowing American military bases on its soil. That's one example out of many.

[Stifsim6]

@jwh30385 ...I would agree with your point, however my first choice would be to bring all foreign-based troops home. They would be better serving here on the homefront, some building fence. I dream of more international solitude, admiring how often Switzerland comes up in the news.

[jwh30385]

@Stifsim6 That's the general idea. If you're isolationist and have a good defense, you don't have to give a crap. But when your entire defense and foreign policy is built on the foundation of having military bases in 82 different countries, you're completely dependent on the host country's willingness to allow your base on their soil. Imagine France had a big base in Kentucky, and the French President started pissing Americans off and saying "I don't give a shit what Americans think."

[450HPZ]

obama hands out grape soda and fried chicken!

[socamaestro]

WHy???

BECAUSE HE'S SANE!!

[label1877]

Of course the rest of the world wants Obama. Obama stands for a weaker America. Obama's massive spending will destroy America's future.

[MetalEagle95]

Because when a democrat spends money its bad but when a republican spends money its good(Bush, McCain).

[dalmatian847]

Hate to break the news to you sunshine, but the Dems SLAMMED Bush for the $500 Billion deficit that under Obama has grown to 1.4 TRILLION.

[konop111]

@dalmatian847 Obama was signed into office with a 1.3 trillion dollar deficit and the worse economy in 70 years. Bush should have balanced the budget during relatively good times, so that we can run deficits during bad times like now.

[dalmatian847]

@konop111 Where are you getting your facts from? So in your educated opinion, because Bush didn't balance the budget while fighting two wars(usually kinda tough) that gives Obama the excuse to add a trillion dollars of spending that stimulated nothing?

Unemployment when Obama took over 6.8%

Unemployment under Obama's brilliant policies 10%

Any questions?

[jwh30385]

@dalmatian847 Correction #1: Unemployment rate on 2/1/2009 was 8.9%, went up to 10.6% and has been decreasing since January 2010 (Bureau of Labor Statistics).

Correction #2: Bush pleaded for, and signed, the first trillion dollar stimulus.

[dalmatian847]

@jwh30385 Incorrect. on both accounts. The unemployment rate when Obama was inauguarated. 6.8%. It's been decreasing YET is the longest stretch of time of above 9% unemployment since the Great Depression. Then again, when you count those whose unemployment benefits have run out as if they are now suddenly employed, that's not surprising...or accurate.

What "first trillion dollar stimulus" did Bush sign exactly? The stimulus was pushed and passed by Obama on a partisan vote. That's ALL on him.

[jwh30385]

@dalmatian847 The deficit grew rapidly during Clinton's first years too. He still left the office 8 years later with the greatest budget surplus in US history.

Exactly what do you expect? A guy to enter the White House and say "all accounts are now frozen!"

[dalmatian847]

@jwh30385 In 2006 , when the debt ceiling was raised, Senator Obama voted NO. His exact words were "this represents a failure of leadership" Now President Obama supports the debt ceiling raised to levels unseen.

If it was a failure in leadership then, what does it represent now?

[jwh30385]

@MetalEagle95 "War is good, healthcare is bad." "Cut the military budget and you're a socialist anti-American. Take money from education and spend it on war, and you're an American hero."

I'll never understand this.

[DarkestOne7]

republicans r retards

[rizkibalki]

Hahahaha funny comment below! Booo...Obama The antichrist is unleash! hahahaha!

[gamapg]

wth?!? philippines prefers mccain!?? I'm tired of republicans ruling the western superpower -_-.. good thing obama won w00t

[hillarywhore]

right and obama is the anti-christ... cause u like him? jackass. if he was the anti-christ that everyone is supposed to like dont u think that everyone would actually like him? wtf is your definition of everyone???

[EdugeBDroN]

sure His name is Cheney and he sure appealed to y'all

[mrjenkins777]

They would like Obama to win because that means they can do what they like to us because obama is soft and will cut the military by 25%

[RushProbeSix]

Who gives a crap why citizens in 70 countries support Barrack HUSSEIN Obamalamadingdong...? Obviously because they're as retarded and stunted in their mental development as the ones in America who are supporting this moron...

[Ragedoom]

No, because McCain is a republican, wich can be referred to as a conservative, one-man leader. Obama, on the other hand, is a democrat which means he's not so conservative (shouldn't be) and makes decision more based on the peoples opinions. That's why democracy is better than having one leader leading the whole country. All people can say their opinion and make a difference.

[Oscar1466]

WARNING!! Bush will ONLY SUPPORT the candidate who will continue his policies to SLAVE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

[BigBadBattletoad]

It is impossible to take any "jounalist" on CNN seriously when their check is signed by the Jew-hating, NWO scumbag Ted Turner.

[tahoejimmy]

I've worked for Wolf Blitzer and this network is disgusting. The journalists if you can call them that ( really you can't) the producers, the camera people, the sound people, interns and production assistants all hate republicans and christians and they relentlessly push liberal garbage and distort the truth. Including Wolf Blitzer. The situation room over the past 4 years has had not one piece of NEWS. It's all information aimed at political influence for democrats. That is a fact

[lineriderdude9999]

no. thats all i need to say about that shity waste of cyber space comment.

[tahoejimmy]

Why wouldn't they prefer Obama. They all watch CNN, the World Liberal News Network. Are you surprised? Look at the very report that you are doing. The question was by a JOURNALIST? Then how do you explain that most of the world prefer Obama to McCain? Is this a news network, or a campaign vehicle? Aren't these the same people who over and over and over again said, Our job is not to be the mouthpiece for the Bush admin. NO your job is to be the mouthpiece for Liberals the world over

[temarisand]

if obama win USA will return the respect in the world...if McCain wins..the world is going to hate you more than now!!!

[mojorisin534]

What part of "they MAY have even been involved in legitimate contribution " didn't you understand kilerecho?

[u]All the people in the Arab and Islamic world and in Africa applauded this man," continued Gadhafi. They welcomed him and prayed for him and for his success, and they may have even been involved in legitimate contribution campaigns to enable him to win the American presidency.[/u]

[mojorisin534]

It is also interesting to note that if a Moslem converts to another religion, a decree is issued for that persons death. No such decree has ever been issued for Obama. We could ask why? And further, we could ask why has the Islamic world backed Obama and even funded his election bid?

[killerecho]

"Islamic world" is such a vague and vacuous term. There's nothing wrong with law-abiding Muslims and Muslim Americans supporting him. That's pretty weak stuff. But if by "Islamic world" you mean Al Qaeda, then I defy you to name one reliable source that confirms Obama has accepted funds from known Muslim extremists or Al Qaeda. Be specific. I'm waiting!

[ecalebw]

WOw! You REALLY need to do your homework! Guess who gave campaign donations to George HW Bush and George W Bush...the Saudi's the same people that were financing the "terrorists". Did you know that the Bin Laden's are big Bush cronies? Yes do your homework. Besides Obama's father was a muslim not him he was baptised a Christian. The school that he attended wasn't even a muslim school. Wow! You guys will believe ANYTHING! I gotta bridge that's for sale in Brooklyn wanna buy it???

[mojorisin534]

"All the people in the Arab and Islamic world and in Africa applauded this man," continued Gadhafi. "They welcomed him and prayed for him and for his success, and they may have even been involved in legitimate contribution campaigns to enable him to win the American presidency.

"We are hoping that this black man will take pride in his African and Islamic identity, and in his faith, and that [he will know] that he has rights in America, and that he will change America from evil to good,

[mojorisin534]

"There are elections in America now. Along came a black citizen of Kenyan African origins, a Muslim, who had studied in an Islamic school in Indonesia. His name is Obama," said Gadhafi in little-noticed remarks he made at a rally marking the anniversary of the 1986 U.S. air raid on his country.

The remarks, translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, MEMRI, were aired on Al Jazeera in June.

[mojorisin534]

"JERUSALEM Sen. Barack Obama is a Muslim of Kenyan origins who studied in Islamic schools and whose campaign may have been financed by people in the Islamic and African worlds, Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi said during a recent televised national rally.

"There are elections in America now. Along came a black citizen of Kenyan African origins, a Muslim, who had studied in an Islamic school in Indonesia. His name is Obama," said Gadhafi

[dougmanjones]

Hopefully, Obama's popularity abroad will translate into support from European countries. Europe wants the U.S. to lead; they just don't want to follow McCain-Palin.

[007ObiWan]

Barack is worshipped throughout the European Union -- successor to the Roman Empire. He represents the Chicago 60606 zip code. He is the son of a Muslim goatherd father and an atheist mother. Farrakhan has called him "the Messiah."

[bdyan1]

he is NOT worshiped overseas, just liked more

[TheShamanSZ]

Considering how liked Bush is, that's not exactly hard.

[killerecho]

There already is an Anti-Christ. His name is Bush.

[mojorisin534]

It appears that Obama is going to be elected by a large margin, in spite of the fact

that he is a Marxist-Socialist. The American people know almost nothing about this man, but do not seem to care what he stands for. They are so sick of Bush that they will accept ANYTHING other than who is in power now. To elect Obama is to elect and open socialist, the very opposite of what America stands for.

[FaJingPower]

I can think of a million reasons someone would vote for McCain.

ignorance, stupidity, desperation, masochism, off their meds, suicidal, depressed, drunk, anti-american, brain dead, loves al qaeda.... the list is endless.

[Michthemitch]

mccain SUCKS

[3star2nr]

simple... Americans are idiots

[3star2nr]

Cafferty owns ALL

[cousinNACHO]

Cafferty is the only good thing in the situation room

[accersitusmaximus]

Are you one of those who still buy the official 9/11 conspiracy story? Have you seen any evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11? Nobody else have, including the FBI. What is your degree in physics? Collapsing buildings follow the path of least resistance. They don't fall straight down threw themselves and turn to dust. WTC7 was supported by 80 steel columns. Several military officials, former feds, governors and congressmen have come forward, but are silenced in mainstream media.

LISTEN UP & TAKE HEART!

- Obama has the largest donor base in the history of US elections!

- Obama set fundraising record for single month AUG08 - 66million. Avg gift <$100. No PAC/Lobbyist money!

- Active US troops donate to Obama 6:1 over McCain.

[Integraalhelm]

Obama is a uniter, McCain is a divider. Obama is a diplomat, McCain is a war monger.

Greetings from the Netherlands (90% Obama - 10% McCain)

[Stifsim6]

@Integraalhelm ---News flash for you...he's a divider of the people, and will likely get ousted at the next election cycle. Whatever news you are getting in the Netherlands doesn't tell the whole story. For the record, Obama is as unqualified and arrogant as McCain is old, feeble and scary. Our country deserves better than either of these twits.

[yes4me]

we need someone popular in all the world if we want to prove Usa is the #1 in the world. 5/5

[pnp2k6]

Welcome Back Caff! Obama Nation has gone World-wide!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08!

[XXPBPROXX]

haha hi. maybe thats because obama is running for president of the world. not AMERICA. he should not appeal to other countries, only to his own.

[noracism11]

not true hahahaha!

[XPBPROX]

o wow. the only people who watch this video are so naive. assholes

[noracism11]

asshole is your mother!

[waltermh111]

your missing the point, maybe on purpose?

If other countries like us and are happy to work with our president we get more support for the worldwide initiatives we like to push.

We can get more help in times of need.

We have less enemies.

We have better leeway in worldwide negotiating economically if we have a president who is more willing to work with other countries and visa versa.

How is it so hard for you to understand why its a good thing to be a part of the larger world?

[XPBPROX]

o wow

[xdir]

No its because the worlds wants America to lead, how can you lead when the president delegates the office to his VP?

History will judge 2000-08 as the zenith of American greatness and how the ineptitude of GW & the republican congress lead to the fall of the sole superpower.

More importantly as other countries now own so much of American debt they have a vested interest ensuring America does not become bankrupt losing them wealth.

[XPBPROX]

o wow.

[foxilocks2007]

AMERICA AND THE WORLD FOR OBAMA!
