If the world could vote for the US president...

Someone posted this link on another board I belong on. Just thought it was interesting.

I think I could guess who they would vote for. I've read many reports
from around the world on how they feel about American Political leaders.

I think it is not relevant to our elections, but it is interesting to read.

Can we vote for the rest of the world's political leaders?

Hell while we're being irrelevent, might as go whole hog.

How many know anything about US internal politics?

Not only is this irrelevent, it's absolutely pointless.

Now really LH, are you going to try and argue that everything on the internet has a point? I think that would be a hard one to win.

I never said it was relevant, just that it was interesting.
And many people interested in politics follow other countries politics too.
I should have known better than to post this here.

We have lawmakers and judges who feel we need to review foreign laws in order to interpret our own constitution and laws, so I can see why some would see this as relavent. I can see that they realise alot of citizens of other countries hate, at the very least dislike, America and Americans. I can see that they would think that voting for NObama would make a favorable impression on the worlds opinion of us.

To me, with the amount of dictators and tyrants that are out there, I would see this poll as a reason to vote against their wishes. I dont see how voting for whats best for their interests is in our best interests.

Seriously, let's see what the world thinks about Vlad Putin, and who they'd elect as the next President of Russia, see who they'd elect as the next leader of Iran, Libya, Japan, China ....

If everyone's going to nose into the US's internal politics, let's REALLY do it.

If one country is fair game for crap like this, everyone is.

We are the sole Super Power left in the world, of course a majority of the world would want to see us weakened.

Well, it IS an interesting topic & I've already said it doesn't affect our own
elections. Don't be discouraged by the few who take every issue as a personal attack on them & their own beliefs. You can't please everyone.

The only way I would even bother with this article is if I knew Jimmy Carter had something to do with THAT 'election'.

Why bother when we can invade them instead?

I think you might be surprised LH...many people in other countries do know alot about our internal politics. Like Blue says...."we are the sole Super Power." It is in their best interest to know what is going on here.

Do you know anything about the internal politics of other countries? I know you do! Do you think others not as able to know about our politics?

Jimmy will be counting the votes.

ES, I know quite a bit about the internal politics of other countries, however, I would never think of trying to influence another country's political process, short of war.

Lh...show me where anyone is trying to influence our political process. Are they not allowed an opinion? You don't really believe any of those "voting" expect their vote to count do you?

And heck, if you know so much about other countries internal politics, why did you say this?

Whomever put that site together is trying to influence the election. Americans who feel that the world opinion matters will be swayed by that web site. I have relatives who will feel their vote for NObama is justified by the world opinion of our election.

And heck, if you know so much about other countries internal politics, why did you say this?

Feel free to inform us as to the inner workings of our election process.
