Answer 1

Let me tell you something.There is a difference between our country and Europe.Europe is the most peaceful place at the moment.That is why they want Obama.And if Obama is elected we can get along better with other country.And trust me man, no other country wants to get a long with a man with no heart , who does not help poor, and just plans things the way he wants.We need someone who is WILLING to help others.And showing some fairness and not wanting war at all.

Because Mccain is a douche bag, he's against g*y marrige, he chose some stupid bimbo as vice president if he wins, he wants to bring his stupid church into things, AND he believes in the DRAFT !!!!!

obama 08

Answer 12

b/c they like him too.

Answer 13

everybody wants obama because he's so much better than grandpa and his miss alaskan-poh-dunk-ville

Answer 14

Europe is disgusted with the abuse of power that the Bush Administration has displayed during the last 8 years. The Bush Administration has ruined the US economy and taken down most of the rest of the world with its economics. The only countries smiling are our enemies, who are receiving US Dollars in record highs. They are making money hand over fist and paying Al Queida to plan his next attack with our money.

Barack Obama promises to change that. He has convinced the rest of the world that he will return the US to the rule of law.

Answer 15

Because Europeans are the friends and allies of the Americans and they want the best for the U.S and the relations between Europe and the U.S.

Answer 16

to be honest, as a british european, i can say, we honestly dont care. so when these people were polled they probably just thought 'well hilary seems a bit of a cow, and whats that other guy? oh yeah, obama, he seems nice, yeah, go for him' they didnt actually look at their political stance or anything like that, because we dont care what president you have.

Answer 17

Europe would love to see us as just another country without guts ior power - like Europe.

Answer 18

who knows and who really cares?

WE get to vote NOT them!

Answer 19

Well Obama is the one travelling all over the world and making speeches, while McCain sits at home on his *ss

Answer 20

Because he's MUCH smarter than McCain, and will make better decisions about US actions in the world.

The dirty little secret of the gentlemen's club called the Senate is that McCain is not smart, and makes decisions based on his gut, which are frequently very risky.  Like Palin.

Answer 21

BECAUSE THEY ARE SICK OF THE COWBOY DIPLOMACY FROM THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION  

Answer 22

A friend of mine just got back from living in London for 20 years.  He said that when President Clinton used to visit there, the streets were full of happy British people waving the American flag and singing The Star Spangled Banner, but after Mr. Bush started his Iraq War and dragged England along into it, whenever he, Bush, would visit England, the police would have to shut down the entire city of London, put up barricades, and have thousands of cops on duty to hold back enraged mobs that spat and hurled insults and burned the American flag.  It has to do with who is the better leader, who is going to return America to its place of moral, civilized international behavior, as opposed to one who is on record as saying he favors keeping US troops in Iraq for a century, in addition to taxing the middle class while cutting taxes for billionaires.  

Answer 23

They fear world war!!

Answer 24

Because socialism is prevelant over there and that's exactly what Barack is going to try and extend over here.

Answer 25

They're very anti-Bush, and for good reason. We've lost so much power and influence since 2000.

Answer 26

Myself I think he has more (back bone) and will deal with the Russians thats running out of hand threatening Europe again of wanting to take back Countries that gained their Independence in the early 1990's. You seen what happened to Georgia, no help from the US, Now Russia would love to occupy Ukraine again which is actually bigger then the size of France so they can have the shore line of the Black Sea again on the North Side where they used to have a major fleet.

Answer 27

they know that McCain is just four more years of Bush...

Answer 28

Europeans are smart people!  

Answer 29

E's a pretty boy they know they can walk all over. Viva UN!

Answer 30

Ignorance.

They don't have any say, so let us laugh when McCain and Palin win!
