BBC poll: Rest of world favours Obama

[TigerBoy]

"A BBC World Service opinion poll has found sharply higher overseas approval ratings for US President Barack Obama than Republican challenger Mitt Romney.

An average of 50% favoured Mr Obama, with 9% for Mr Romney, in the survey of 21,797 people in 21 countries."

All right, being a Middle-Eastern, I can see why this is so.

Obama is not that the type that goes on the microphone and tells us that he will engage a holy war on us. Puppet or not, he does friendly with his mesmerizing voice.

Because he sympathizes with our problems, people call him names, call him Muslim and that he abides to his Muslim masters, or whatever(especially the likes of Tea-Party and what have you).

The rest of the world favours Obama because most of us are not blind fickle bigots, unlike many Americans.

I understand why the rest of the world pretty much favors Obama over Romney, but not all Americans are bigoted to him. There's plenty of people that hate Obama's policies related to the Middle East because it's too similar to Bush's policies. The guy is sending drones to kill possible terrorists and murders two dozens innocents instead. He's also flip-flopping over Syria, saying that this country supports the rebels yet refuses to send aid or establish a program to administer to the Syrians who are fighting against Assad.

9% of the world for Romney huh?

I've said it before, I'll say it again. I refuse to live in a country run by that man, if by some miracle he wins...I'll be plotting my route of escape.

It may not be so much of a miracle, he's trending high in most of the polls as of late...

As far as likability goes, Obama is much more likable than Romney. I doubt that much will change with this country regardless of who is elected, but I would still rather have Obama as the front man than Romney. The rest of the world seems to think so too. Both candidates have good points, and both have bad points--I can't lend my full support to either one. Americans wanted Obama to fix the economy instantly though, they didn't want to take the time to wait for it to be fixed. I guess we'll see how things turn out.

What about the other 49%

I agree, to me though, going with Obama is pretty much the lesser of two evils in a way. I'm not completely in his boat, I'm pretty much dangling my legs in the water. But I'm riding on an alligator versus getting on Romney's.

[Castle of Glass]

although both Obama's and Rommey's debates have been close, you have to look at their parties also. When a person is president, they do not just do want they want, they do what their party also wants. so in other words, do you want democrats as president or republicans. your choice americans. but my advice is go with Obama

I saw something like this elsewhere on the internet and think it's pretty funny how Pakistan favors Romney. Or, not funny, because Romney is basically evil in human form.

I kind of find that ironic, too. Romney is a white conservative republican. If you have seen these people, they hate us so much, you don't even know the where this hate stem from.

Just have a look at frontpagemag website, and look at the comment section. Tells a lot about them.

[Thunduhbuhlt]

I love these responses on this thread guys :3.

ANYWAYS, I favor Obama as well, and I can see how Middle Easterners and most other places would. Maybe if Romney got his head out of his ass he'd see how shitty he is. (No pun intended ;) )

Radix Malorum est Cupiditas. "The Love of Money is the root of all evil" or "Greed (which can be interpreted as the Love of Money) is the root of all evil".
Romney cares about money. I don't think he cares about the well-being of most citizens here in America. Since Romney has been a business man for 20 years, he hasn't faced a time when his bank account was under $100,000 in FOREVER. He doesn't remember (or may not know at all) what it's like to be a middle or low class American.
Now, I don't know the background of Obama before becoming president, besides the fact that he was a senator. But I feel that he know's what it's like to be a middle class American.
Plus, Romeny just annoys me.
