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.

Abrupt and Abrasive.
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.
Feel free to inform us as to the inner workings of our election process.And heck, if you know so much about other countries internal politics, why did you say this?

If other countires aren't trying to influence our internal politics, why did Sen. Obama make a CAMPAIGN TRIP abroad?
Seems odd for someone running for the US Presidency to make a campaign stump speech in Berlin. Unless he thought he was going to garner votes with that little junket, it doesn't make much sense.
BTW, Pres. Carter counting votes? Now there's something to inspire confidence.

Lets skip into the future. What would you all think of a World Government? Could it be in the future?

I find it not only interesting, but relevant as well.
If EVERYONE else at a dinner party tells you that you have spinach between your teeth and your toliet paper stuck on your shoe ... what are you going to do? Take heed of the unanimous majority telling you that you are being an idiot and fix the situation? Or say, "Ha! What do all of you know? Your opinions are irrelevant!" and continue mingling around the room, with your spinach and your TP?

Speaking of not making sense. Obama's speech in Berlin was to encourage other countries to influence our internal policies. Okee dokee....
Are you suggesting Obama thought German citizens can vote in the US?
Perhaps he shared your concern for their lack of knowledge about our internal politics?

Just for giggles, what is your source for believing Obama's trip was in fact
a Campaign trip?

that might be one clue.........another might be to ask yourself when the last time a JUNIOR US senator made a foreign trip abroad making stump speeches at every available venue......But use of the landmark apparently was vetoed by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who a spokesman Wednesday said disapproved of plans to co-opt it as a "campaign backdrop."
Or when the last time a US Seator made a trip abroad.....and cancelled a planned visit with wounded troop because the US Military refused to allow reporters to accompany him to the hospital.......

That is Bull and you know it. That disinformation was cleaned up by the military brass.
I'm surprised at you. You usually go with the truth.

It would be the last time, that a Senator was running for President & didn't
want to be known as stranger to Europe. We do have allies over there, remember?

Being a Navy wife, I think he went abroad because of all the US civilians and military that live in Europe.

In which case he could have requested access to the military facilities in Europe (which would have been granted), given a speech at Rhein Mein, Landstuhl, Heidelberg, Germany or Rota in Spain, or all of the above, and went home.Being a Navy wife, I think he went abroad because of all the US civilians and military that live in Europe.
Instead, he asked to use the Brandenburg Gate, which would have been loaded with symbolism.
His speeches were squarely aimed at the population of Europe, not US military personnel living abroad.
