Good comments read on the broadcast. I am an American expat living in eastern Europe and travel extensively. Europe and much of the world seems to be way ahead of the US is figuring things out. They knew in vast numbers that the Iraq war was based on lies before it even started just as an example. Overall, most foreign citizens are more impressed with intelligence and mature stable behavior than Americans are, who preferred dumb inarticulate liars. Maybe the US is finally growing up this year.

I think John Cleese's comments were a great summation of the world's view of the election. I'm speaking of the video here on YouTube where he discusses Sarah Palin and G.W.

I'm from Canada and am just a 30 minute drive from the States. It's a fantastic country but the last 8 years have made most of us cringe, including I think, most Americans.

I've got the popcorn all ready for election night. Wild horses couldn't drag me away from watching history being made on November 4th. :)

Painkill3rd: I understand exactly what you mean. I've been back to the States once twice in 5 years, now being one of those times. I came partly to renew my passport and partly to volunteer to do whatever I can to help make the US an honorable country again by getting Obama/Biden elected. The entire world will be a safer and less dangerous place with the Neo-cons/Bush/Cheney/McCain/Ro­ve/Palin far from power.

All is not perfect, it will take man years to recover from the damage by these people.

Even other countries can see McSame is the WRONG choice! Obama will be a great president.

John Cafferty once shit his pants on the set... I know an electrician that was doing work in Atlanta on one of the sets, spoke to the camera guy on this show and he said that Cafferty stormed out of there one day with his pants all wet in the back and down one leg cussing... The look on his face !!!!

LOL!!

@geyr7

Maybe you are wards of the State? That would explain it. After all, the Redistributive Party (Dems) have been gaming you. Look at every major city with Democrat Mayors and notice how they have done absolutely nothing for their cities but run them further in the ground.

Who are you ignorant, easily fooled people that voted for Zero?

[Dave985033]

It is because those other countries are much more stupid

and we are better than every one of those countries and more powerful than any of those fools. So they do not know very much.

Ugh, that Mike fellow, sender of the second-last comment shown there... Does he know that Europe's pretty white, and pretty much everyone here (including everyone I know or have talked to about the election) supports Obama (too)?

[unplugged123]

its ONLY 4 to 1? i would have expected 10 or 15 to 1 in favor for obama.

reason why other countries favor obama is that we don't live in your fishbowl. we are more objective because as outsiders watching we have seen how the last miserable 8 years have affected the world negatively.

its also kinda funny how the last 8 years also correlates to the nose dive of the reputations of americans overseas.
