Is Barack Obama running for President of America or the World?

Question

George Clooney is giving Obama a sold out fundraiser in Switzerland.

Why would they have interest in our election and why would Obama even need or want their money?

Answer 1

Not a doubt  in my mind ."THE WORLD"  figure that one out for awhile.

Answer 2

what i have seen AMERICA he NOT looking at the WHOLE PICTURE

Answer 3

Well, the United States is the most influential nation in the world so it doesn't surprise me that US politics are so important elsewhere. As for Obama's popularity, a lot of it probably has to do with the hatred that people have for Bush around the world. I did study abroad in Italy and people over there hate Bush even more then Americans. I think many of them see McCain as someone similar to Bush.  

Answer 4

Your question shows how little you know about politics and world history.  America is central to the world in many ways. But how about you go read a book

Answer 5

If Obama doesn't sweep this . I think he should he the leader of the UN.

Answer 6

Both. You forgot one. He's running for the President of God, too.

The rest of the world has interest in our economy, in our choices in the wars were involved in, in everything, because we are the most powerful country in the world, and most econimies run by what we do, practically living off of our economy.

I laugh at George Clooney! His father does, too. His own Father supports McCain. He was on the news yesterday saying so...Fox News...you don't suppose George is still wanting to rebel against his daddy, do you?

Answer 7

The U.S. is a very influential nation, that's why.

Answer 8

It's not just about us.

We are only part of

the whole world.

We should set a good example

for the whole world.
