It's time to END the great OBAMA ILLUSION !!!!!!!

COUNTRY FIRST – no more silly hat tricks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McCain / Palin — YES WE WILL !!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama, as President can make things seem almost okay in America for Minorities. It is time for a change. McCain is the same as every President on currency. It is time!

Definitely Obama. Even from over here I can feel the energy he has generated. I think america has reached a new era where race is not so much a consideration in selecting a new president. America vote for obama the world will be proud of you again.

How can I be proud of a president whose wife was not even proud of her country until her husbands run for president?

i would be as proud of mccain as i am with bush. they both make me want to puke.

These are the views and hopes of a non American and a Non Resident of US who wants a strong and powerful America.

Will Nov. 4th be a cliff hanger, will the Americans this time create a history by electing a non white as the president or is it that the White House is meant only for the whites. As far as I am concerned, it is not the question of race or the color but the candidates' credentials and thinking itself and that is why I wish and hope Obama wins.

Why?

In the last 8 years, US as a Big Brother has lost its power, standing and respect with international population. Whatever the people might say,I feel that the world needs a Big Brother in US, but with a completely new approach. It is the time for America to reinvent itself and not continue with more of the same. Obama's relative young age and inexperience will help him break away from the past and help in reinventing US policies.

Time and again Bush's arrogance has led to unneccessary wars and that is what McCain and Palin stand for – same old American arrogance.
You need an American president who will reach out to the world and mend its relationship and gain its respect back. Obama's approach of reaching out to the countries diplomatically rather then the war has got him so popular with population across the globe.

The world needs peace, the world needs a financially strong America, and then world needs a less arrogant, more outward looking and more approachable America and that is why Obama is able to connect to the world.

McCain comes across as more hawkish, more dramatic and less stable (i.e someone who keeps changing his mind and that is the definition of a maverick). The world does not need an American President who''s perceived strength is War. By the way I am not even talking about Palin as she is not even worth mentioning, John McCain is still acceptable but Palin as a VP will show Americans intelligence in poor light (but as I always joke, if Americans can elect Bush two times what makes us think that they will not select Palin).

In the industrial world – America stands for opportunity- no other country provides the freedom and opportunity to make it big as much as America does, but when it comes to its politics, it is yet to prove its maturity- religion still plays an important role in US politics, no woman has managed to take the top position (not meaning to say that this is the time by selecting Palin!!) nor a non white. This is the time for the US population to take the US politics to the next level.

Obama, of course.
I am even embarrased and ashamed by McCain's campaign.
GWB humiliated us, made us a joke and ,because he is a liar, all
Americans are looked at as liars. McCain is also a liar.
We need to get our respect and credibilty back.

I have never seen Obama got angry even when McCain many time said that he does not understands a lot of things or naive ia many my issues. McCain what I heard is the most difficult man to work with. Obama may become a wonderful, very smart and with strong decisions commander-in-chief.

For me why america needs obama in this current period is not only limited to economy but the country's image in the world that is more of an enemy of other developed and developing world simply because of the republicans poor foreign policy. Obama seems to have the package of change that will improve the most powerful nation's image in the eyes of the world. Americans have the opportunity to help themselves by voting right and voting for obama, this will no doubt reduce their expenses of converting terrorism by big margin as change in the foreign policy will increase their safety all over the world.

If your grandad, also a war hero, turned around and said to you that he wants to run your business, manage your team, be captain of your football squad you would laugh

if bush can win 2 terms why can't obama be president of america? America should feel prouder and the will feel prouder of obama as president

It scares me to death to thnk that America could have a liberal like Obama presiding over this country. Americas need to wake up. They have no idea all the long range implications of having someone this liberal in the White House. How could someone sit in church and share his liberal views is beyond me.

What struck me is that, CNN always pull a video from Obama' s family in Kenya, one day before election.

CNN skillfully tried that on the eve and on the day on the New Hampshire Primary, which Obama lost surprisingly.

Now I don't think it is helpful at all, for not saying there may be something behind the new video of the Obama kenya relative, practicing with or in Muslim outfit.

I even doubt the man show in the pictures has anything to do with Obama. The world is watching and take note.

Wow Obama supporters are completely unrealistic and uninformed. Obama supporters can make the case that McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time, but Obama voted with Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi over 95% of the time and they are more unpopular than Bush is! Of course no one will hold Obama accountable for that distinction because you all are crazy and think Obama is the Messiah.

Obama has got a modern carrissma for a true leadership! I think he would somehow brings the very change Americans need at this defining moment of financial break down!

WITH OBAMA AS PRESIDENT OF THE MOST POWERFULL COUNTRY ON THIS PLANET THERE WILL BE PEAEC AS YOU CAN SEE JOHN MCCAIN SAID HE WANT TO FIGHT VOTING JOHN IS MORE PROBLEM SO I THINK OBAMA IS THE BEST FOR THE JOB.

VOTE OBAMA FOR PEACE

If John Mccain becomes President with Sarah Palin as his VP, God help us all.

Being safe is the one thing that the American People want more than anyone. Palin is to power hungry, and her husband, well I actually don't trust him and he pals around with domestic terrorist also...The Alaskan Indepentant Party, they want to be a Commonwealth or their own Country. More power to them. The can have their midnight sun and the sky of dancing lights.

Obama/Biden would bring that to us, Palin wants the top spot...

Bring us to life Barack Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama/Biden08/12

Time has come for the different nations of the world to truly come together, and that time is brought about by Barack Obama. America should never miss the opportunity of having Barack as the President of the United States of America.

All we have to do is look at our country from the world perspective and see how they view the candidates. That should show you who we should be proud of to represent us in the world.

I would feel prouder with Obama as president although that in no way diminishes my opinion of Senator John McCain. But I think Mr. McCain has run a campaign with excessive negativity and he will have a tendency to steer the government following the bearings of the Bush's administration with regard to unilateral foreign policies, attacks on other countries, and, internally, greater budget deficits.

It's apparent that it's not just here in America but all over the world that they want Obama to win. I believe there will be more peace in the world when he's president. The Republicans and Conservatives have drug this country further into the ground with their hatred and poor leadership. Obama is the ideal president that this country needs who will also bring us into a better future for all people.

ousee o, that makes no sense at all. regardless of getting into the politics of it, your statement is completely unrealistic.

c from Nigeria, whats sad is that some people will only vote based on looks, race, and the like. regardless of whether you vote Obama or McCain, one would hope Americans look at what they believe in and who better represents that

I'm hoping to be proud of my American neighbors, who are about to prove the intelligence of the majority outweighs the racism within.

Voters would be “proud” to have either candidate represent them as President of the United States, for both possess what is necessary to govern effectively, surround themselves with competent advisors, and look to the future. As with any successful CEO, both have proven they have the ability to plan strategically, as well as tactically. Either candidate would serve the United States well. May God bless America.

With Obama there is going to be a global peace that the world has been waiting for and there will be no more use of force to achieve peace, lets vote Obama will never regret it.

Let me preface this comment by saying I have not read the election promises of either candidate or know very much about the parties, my comments are based on what I have seen on UK television and my own opinions of that coverage.

I agree with C of Nigeria, Mr McCain looks (and in my opinion IS too old) having him as president would make the US look old and infirm internationally. The biggest issue I have however with Mr McCain is that when I see him on the podium, he looks as if he is going through the motions, and I can not see hunger for the job in his eyes, now I'm not saying that he doesn't want the job, I'm sure he does, but I just cant see it.

However, Mr Obama looks much more switched on, vibrant, and above all else you can see the hunger and desire to do the job in his eyes.

Goodbye Caribou Barbie! Vile plumber, be gone! PUMA members, see the absurdity of your positions. John McCain was a good man who sold his soul to the right wing of the Republican party and is now, like Macbeth, undergoing his punishment. What a tragic ending to a life of service. Now our hopes are with Obama. Free at last!

I see that Campbell Brown and CNN re still trying to skewer Sarah Palin. Surprise–she must be the favored candidate for 2012 when Obama goes down . Brown is about to have a stroke–America has found a beautiful, clever, intelligent woman with star quality to boot and the liberal left cannot stand it that she is not a dem. (although they sliced, diced and skewered their own smart candidate and fradulently took the nomination away from her.) Can't wait to have "President Pa;lin 2012! The nastiness and vulgarity from the left is proof positive that Palin is their worst nightmare!

If you guys refuse to elect Obama, than send him here in Canada, we can make a prime minister out of him and being proud to have him on our side.

I cant beleive that so many peoples will vote for McCain. Crashing in a plane and being a POW is no guarentee of intelligence and diplomatic skills. He is just an older version of W and the world isn't done hating you if you re-elect a warrior.

To me Obama represents the change that the world so badly needs.I think he is God-sent.I am particularly keen on this election coz Kenya is the Obama country,my brother studies in the US and I want to go into elective politics.Obama has greatly inspired not only me but millions of other young Kenyans.

I would be proud to have Obama as our Pressident. He shows that
he knows how to think situation through. He will use diplomacy first
and not jump into a fight without analyzing the situation.
Every time I've heard McCain he says "I'll fight for you over and over.
He is known for his temper and would be likely to jump into a war
without really thinking it through.
We need to help other countries, sharing our knowledge with them.

mccain is to fly by the seat of his pants for me he cant run a campain more like a joke we dont need a joke in the office

Obama! He is who the world needs right now. And in Biden he knows he has a safe pair of hands and special advisor.
The world has changed from when McCain ran in 2000.
Shame, he still hasn't woken up to the fact.
If Obama, doesn't win it shall be a very sad day for America and the rest of the world.

All the way from Nigeria, Obama is seen as a phenomenon. McCain looks like same of the same. Nothing so different from the present.

I'm ashamed of the way McCain and Palin have continued to spew the lies even weeks or months after those lies were debunked. He has sold his soul – just like when he sang in V. Nam

We don't need liars representing this country.

Obama/Biden '08

As an American I feel more confidence in Obama because he is level headed and make decisions based with his head and not as a angry man with war on his mind alllllll of the time. The only foreign policy I have heard from Mc Same is more war. Also he knows nothing about the Economy and Palin frightens me way more than Obama being black ever could. I have learned a lot about Mc Cain during this campaign season and his erratic behavior could really get this country in trouble. Also he doesn't look Presidential he looks Geriatric, and I'm not kidding. The leaders of other countries are not old men they would look upon him as a leader who is not sharpe and alert.

Is it me or does McCain always grind his teeth when he smiles and talks? Besides the truth what is he trying to hide? I guess its time to head to Canada with the rest of Michiganders, if he wins.

Obama is the right choice for America, I would rather have Obama all the way.

I am proud of OBAMA......And would definitely be more proud if he becomes president ...He has a view of this country and world like no other candidate in my lifetime.. He definitely has my vote.

Good to have election soon to leave the world to focus or salvaging their economic crisis.

Generally Americans are not God's representatives and have not been able to solve their own problem. Let the world call on God for solution to world financial crisis.

To answer this let man learn how to do good to one another and live in fear of the \almighty.

It's about time the US ditched Bush's (and McCain's) War OF Terror and embarked on a real War ON Terror!

I believed that,obama will be a better commander-in-chief because,he will unify the world and make america a better place to live.terrorism and war will be a thing of the past and there will be an economic boom.He is a peaceful man and always calm in any situation.All hail the next America President!!!!

I will be proud to say that Barack Obama is the president of my country.

-------------------------------–

It is not about Obama, but about ideas and vision of the future.
I prefer to bet on Democrats than Republicans. Under Bill Clinton for instance America was fine and the world at peace.
We will no more be safe under McCain than under Obama but I think Obama wil bring peace.

It's not about a man's age or senility.
A man should not be judged by that but by what they can put on the table or deliver.....
Both are equally attractive candidates and America would benifit from any one of them but it is now up to the citizenry to decide what they want at the moment.
We are at an era of something great about to happen but we should not count our eggs before they are hatched.
The voters will decide in hours and it would be history!

Please dear Americans,you are the world leader by all standards. May you give the world what they need–Obama. He will be good to you and the world -at -large, God bless America! God bless the World!

I WOULD BE PROUD TO HAVE SEN. MCCAIN AS PRESIDENT.HE IS A DECORATED WAR HERO. TO HAVE PEACE, IT IS ALSO NECESSARY FOR OTHER COUNTRIES TO WANT PEACE. SEN. OBAMA IS NOT TOO OLD EITHER. US BABY BOOMERS DO NOT LIKE THIS STATEMENT.STOP TALKING ABOUT HIS AGE AND WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE. TO ME HE LOOKS DISTINQUISHED. ALSO SEN. OBAMA IS REPORTED TO HAVE SAID THAT THE COAL INDUSTRY WILL GO BANKRUPT. SOMETHING ABOUT GREEN GAS. THERE IS ALOT THAT THE MEDIA IS NOT REPORTING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY BACK SEN. OBAMA. PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ELECTION BE BOUGHT. THIS IS IMPORTANT. HELP OUR BELOVED COUNTRY.

Only the top number counts – which candidate is viewed as the change agent, as change is the raison d'etre of this election.

In reference to the final number, the sense of pride is inextricably linked with feelings of patriotism, which is often confused with love of country at all costs. Therefore, many of those polled are going to be proud of the next President no matter who he happens to be.

This exalted emotion will last for a little while, until the new President screws up – which he is bound to do eventually – starting us on the path of seeking yet another agent of change.

Who could be proud of someone running for "fear harvester in chief"? I'm going to be proud of President "That One".

From kenya. Obama is world leader.Give him a chance

I do trust that America will rise again and win the lost support and respect of the world once more by voting Barack as President of USA.
He is generally accepted by ranks and file of this world, the epitome of hope for an almost lost America. McCain, signifies Bully, the world has grown above this person and his war mongering.

God bless America

I do not agree with c from Nigeria.I do believe wisdom comes with age. It is not African to dispise elders.

All said , hope Obama wins.

Thats an easy question. We are presented with one candidate who has ALREADY violated the public trust (Keating 5), who has a running mate who is ethically challenged (Palin). Ms Palin is currently under more investigations. Do the math..We have had 8 years on cronyism..

Lets vote for the candidate who my be new, but is clean..

Thats candidate is Barack Obama.

I am generally impressed at the way Obama has taken his message of change to the American people. I am also happy to see so many whites rooting for him. Change is coming to America. Obama represents that change and is going to get it, thanks to many white voters who believe in him. God bless the U.S.A.

Im an Aussie who lived in the USA for most of my 20's, from an international point of view what America needs is a fresh face with new ideas, not the same dinosaur point of view that has ruined America and the way it is viewed by the world. Obama is the man who can restore the world's faith in the USA.

McCain is doing what he can , but i dont think , he is the right man to handle the situation, it seems to me he is too old to stand that presure ,this is not about experience, but how to handle the crisis

I'm happy people have begun to realize they are about to vote for a jerk, novice and a liar who has lied his way to this point. Sure Obama is pleasant looking and articulate but he is very limited in administrative experince to lead a nation like America. Obama speaks from both sides of his mouth and has been able to work the psychy of the people. Don't forget that the devil you know is better than the angel you don't know. Vote McCAIN, McCain all the way.

Very proud to have Obama, equally proud to have Biden. Indifferent to have McCain, but utterly, utterly ashamed and horrified to have Palin.

How can only 57% feel that she does not have the qualities needed? It ought to be 99%!

As an observer from far away Nigeria, my opinion is that Mccain looks far too old to be President of the most powerful nation on earth. He looks a bit senile with an itchy expression

With obama America is safe, no more terrorist, no more war cause he is s pacifist, then pauverty will go away. So we'll live in peace love and wealth. And that' OBAMA

MAY GOD BLESS AMAERICA AND THE WORLD

McCain would comfinue taking this country to RUIN and DISPAIR, just as Bush & Cheney have. Being tortured for bombing innocent women & children does not qualify McCain for President. He would just be a puppet for the Criminals that brought us 9/11 and the 2008 Economic Melt Down. He belongs in a retirement home or prison with the BUSH Crime Family.

John McCain is a great American hero and I am proud to be an American because of his service and many like him who have served with such honor. Having said that, I believe that McCain's ambition to become president has driven him to run a campaign that the John McCain of 2000 would detest. Barack Obama may not have been a member of the militray, but his story is the story of America. Coming from modest means to become a talented lawyer and now presidential candidate. Obama has run a clean and steady campaign and has not sold his soul to win this election. Barack Obama chose a VP that reflected his concern for the American people and John McCain chose a VP in the hopes she would win him the presidency. There is no honor in that. I hope that on Tuesday evening we will be able to say "President Elect – Barack Obama".

OBAMA
