Memo To World: We Elect Our Presidents

Well, that settles it.

The world wants Obama.

US Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama may be struggling to nudge ahead of his Republican rival in polls at home, but people across the world want him in the White House, a BBC poll said.

All 22 countries covered in the poll would prefer to see Senator Obama elected US president ahead of Republican John McCain.

In 17 of the 22 nations, people expect relations between the US and the rest of the world to improve if Senator Obama wins.

More than 22,000 people were questioned by pollster GlobeScan in countries ranging from Australia to India and across Africa, Europe and South America.

The margin in favour of Senator Obama ranged from 9 per cent in India to 82 per cent in Kenya, while an average of 49 per cent across the 22 countries preferred Senator Obama compared with 12 per cent preferring Senator McCain. Some four in 10 did not take a view.

Memo to world: You don't get to vote for Our President. We do.

I sense that has something to do with the squishy world leftist sentiment that the Obama campaign exudes, and the strong pro-American tilt of Sen. McCain.

I guess the world will once again get set for disappointment that they can't get their way.

UPDATE:
Well, maybe if leftists can circumvent the US Constitution they might be able to get illegal aliens to vote in our elections.
