Jackson50 said: I am slightly surprised that British citizens are is as supportive of Obama as they are. I think it is fairly obvious that Obama wants to focus on our relationship with continental Europe as opposed to the UK. I suppose after the Bush-Blair years...that may be a relief for some. |
I think it's more... they don't pay attention to anything the candidates actually say. They just know that McCain is from the same party as Bush, and Obama is a nice speaker... and basically a historic candidate. I beleive there is a bunch of stuff out there for Obama in random countries that are just about his charisma and nothing to do with any policy.
I mean... what does the US person think of Gordon Brown. (Who's Gordon Brown?)
I'd be interested in seeing the Obama vs McCain split in Africa.
I know it sounds odd... but Bush as i recall is actually thought of fondly over there.
I seem to recall someone calling bush "The best President in the United states in regards to Africa ever."
McCain might be polling high with that group of non-voters, despite Obama being black.
