Comments on: Leaning Obama, But Happy With Any Change

World Citizens Transfixed By U.S. Election; The Consensus: So Long Bush Administration

How sad would it be, if after just a few years of an Obama administration, we wish we had Bush back?

You certainly got that wrong.

Iam not a bitter person, but am very disappointed in seeing the mess around the world, particuarly at present with the financial meltdown, caused in large part by America''s materialistic greed.

If you are insinuating that I am from a muslim country, then again you are wrong, in fact I abhor the rules of sharia law, and the blind stupid behaviour of some muslims.

My country is in many ways like yours, we strive for and have as many freedoms as do you, in fact more.

My country appears as though it shall weather the financial meltdown better than any other country. maybe with the exception of some oil rich arab nations, and we have a government elected by the majority of our population by popular vote by our entire population, not just by some of them.

I suspect you may have a guilt complex, caused by the irresponsible actions of your government.

I also realize that akin to many people, I very easily and wrongly generalize, I do know that there are many many great Americans, as well as I do also know, that many in my country are far from perfect.

I am truly looking forward to a change in direction by your government, with the election of Barrack Obama, after the totally disasterous years of Bush and Cheney.

Have a good day.

Dear rheola,
You appear to be such a bitter person. I''m sorry to say that I''m proud to be American. It''s my guess you hang with other bitter anti American people. In my country wwe live pretty well and don''t hate each other over religion, or don''t insist our women cover-up, allow women to drive and are comfortable with different races to marry. I travel the world and have never run into such a bitter anti American person. I happen to particularly love France, the Netherlands, and recently vacationed in Athens, never anyone rude, or disrespectful. I teach everyone in my family to live within our means, and NEVER use credit cards. Guess what I voted for McCain, but think Obama would also be a good leader. Please get over your hate, we are hard working, but certainly not money grubbing. We also don''t want gifts from our government, just let us work and improve our lives. Peace out.

You are in part correct, the world does not really give a d-am-n about America, however the money grubbing materialistic greed of America affects the whole world, as does America''s propping up altra right wing governments in coumtries against the will of the people in those countries.

Also America''s willingness to wage war in countries, in order to line the pockets of a few, irregardless of the loss of life concerned. Thereby destabilising the security and safety of many other counties throughout the World.

Incidentally, my country does not recieve aid in any form from America, however we were among the first of many to help on 9/11

d7767w,

You got that right!!! All the world sees is dollar signs from America.

A vote for Obama is played out in this story

Lets say you have three children and you are on your death bed. You have $100,000 to give to your children as an inheritance.

One child worked his a** off and became a lawyer. The second child worked his a** off and became a doctor. The third child decided to party in college and ended far less successful than your other children.

Would you punish the success of your two children who made the right decisions in life and worked hard to earn thier success by awarding the $100,000 dollars to the child that made bad decisions, but needs the money the most.

I still would gift the money equally, but evidentally if you are a Obama supporter you would give the full inheritance to the child who screwed up in life.

Really sad that America will turn into a country that will punish the hardworking and reward the people who choose not to educate themselves and make bad life decisions.

Really Sad day in American History

Just the comment we would expect from an arrogant, ignorant, inward looking American, thankfully your type are a minority.

With that pair of greedy useless warmongering self interested traitors [Bush and Cheney[, gone with their GOP, the world will be a much better place.

The whole world welcomes President Obama, for a safer and less hate filled world.
