A recent poll of the country's that would want an Obama Presidency resulted in over whelming support for that in most all Islamic Country's.
Europe was a toss up depending on what section of a Country you were at and who you spoke to.
Of course Germany ,and the Netherlands were more than 90% in favor of Obama. Obama held a two point lead in France , a 6 point in England , and a one point in Spain.
It was even in Russia until you started moving west where it was McCain by rising numbers.
In the middle East,The Mediterranean and Africa ,Israel was for McCain at 90%.
Italy was the same as Russia making it a toss up.
Africa was well in Obamas corner , except not surprisingly this Quote:
South Africa was the only African country where a McCain victory would have a slightly more positive impact on their image of the U.S.
South Africans would say things like ( I hope the U.S. dosent make the same mistake that we did ).
This was only a report , Fox did a pre convention report showing Obama farther ahead ,this report was done by Janes ,and posted it in an article about the Global economy mess in the WSJ last week.
Janes stated the same thing i said Months ago , Bush is what is hurting McCain ,and that McCain is seen as no better for the following reasons.
The whole thing about Bush saying he was at war to protect the American people from terrorist coming to American soil went sour , right after the bombing in Spain.
At that time this Country was in a heated debate about our Southern Border and the fact Bush had none nothing to cure that problem.
Then McCain,also in support of the War cosponsored a bill that would have allowed 20 million people here illegally to bypass everyone else and become citizens making the world think ,WHAT
Citizens that we basically knew nothing about , or even if they were from Mexico or South American country's ,and who exactly is going to pay for this ?
Bush then had the audacity to criticize France for not controlling the influx of Islamic Illegals in their country , or telling other Country's how to control their Borders .
I knew this would come back to bite both McCain and the Republican party right in the pants , They can not call Obama a lier when these facts are still vivid in peoples minds. McCain then stood there and called the Mexicans (Gods People) ,a reporter in Spain asked ( OK ,so what does that make your own people ) ? Gods People ? A Country then and now racked by corruption ,gang wars , large scale murders ,and its people on TV begging the world to come help .
Janes says that McCain was the worse choice for the Republicans to nominate ,and that if it were not for Palin this race would already be over.
They are making a very good point , I get asked about this every time i talk to anyone in the Middle class of some other Country.
It isn't so much the War ,its the lie and the double standard ,and like the old saying ( I will believe you until you prove different ) Obama is in the clear here for now.
