Is Obama taking unfair advantage of his popularity in Europe on his world tour.?

Question

Old Europe right, should we really care what they think?

Answer 1

I am no fan of Obama's, but each candidate should be afforded their own strategy. --Personally, I'd be playing up to all those troops who want to get home, and whose votes could be the deciding factor. (as it was with GWB)

Answer 2

Yes. He obviously cannot campaign by touting his leadership experience (he has none). He won't debate Mccain because his answers won't be scripted by the DNC and will look like a fool. All he can do is rant to fellow Socialists (Europeans) his extreme left agenda. His education, charisma and the press' universal hatred of Bush have made him a media darling despite his lack of experience or coherent policy.

Answer 3

Only poor sports would complain about an"unfair" advantage by Mr. Obama on the world stage. If Mr. Mcain can find no succor from allies overseas, he has only his predecessor to blame. Parochialism does not suit Americans well.

Answer 4

Obama is not taking unfair advantage of anybody. Just because many of the people of Europe do not possess that hate syndrome is no reason suspect that Obama is trying to gain popularity by talking to the people overseas......

Answer 5

1st of all; most elections are a popularity contest.  there is always going to be an ogre and a pretty boy.

This is a struggle for the position of "The Most Powerful Man in The WORLD!"

Why should either of them pull any punches?

You better believe we should care what they think.

The balance of power is not all that stable and if you tick off Europe, then life here could get a heck of a lot worse than it is.

You always listen to those who have your back in a crisis and Europe for the most part has had our back since the end of the war of 1812.

Germany and Italy not withstanding.

Answer 6

I wasn't aware there was anything such as an unfair advantage when it comes to Politics.  If that's the case it's also unfair that the Republican Party has spread lies to the public about Obama's true religion this entire campaign.  If there's one thing I've learned about politics it's that everything is game and honesty isn't a requirement.

Answer 7

YES. The fact that the entire world is concerned who our next President is (because of the economic drain that is spreading to other currencies) and for the most part support Obama, we should see the significance of this election year and not take lightly the influences of foreign nations.

Answer 8

NO I DO NOT THINK SO



The advantage was taken long before Obama became popular, However the ablity to bring forth unity and economic stability will take a combind effort. Therefore I strongly suggest that we all take a closer look at the open deception

that has caused our disadvantage and economic decline.

Answer 9

I don't see how his popularity with the Europeans curries any favor with the American electorate.  If anything it just puts off people such as yourself.
