Other factors are at play as well. For starters, the media elite, especially in Europe, tends to be liberal, and its news coverage of the U.S. election reflects this slant. The upshot is that the ordinary Dutchman or Englishwoman—or Indonesian, for that matter—receives a steady diet of positive Obama coverage. Also, in fairness to the GOP nominee, the Republican party is organized around a set of conservative attitudes and principles that are distinctly American in nature.

I'm not surprised to see Obama doing so well around the world.
Well and think of "mad" dictators who want him to win - Mahmoud Ahmineedofajob, Hugo "Caesar" Chavez, etc. LOL You've made a good point that Americans views are different than European views.
"It's time to put the election behind us and the country in front of us. Barack Obama wasn't my choice, but come January 20th, he will be MY President.... I will not seek to see all
...those around the world wouldn't care who the candidate was for the Democrats, they just want the Republicans out of power.
That's pretty sad, but I'm sure it's another reason the world wants Obama.
I think you must mean Hugo Chavez?
LOL that's so funny that I did that. Actually one of my kids has been doing a report on him. He must be in my head. I didn't think it sounded right when I typed it. Thanks!!!

I live in the heart of farmworker territory, we know our Chavez's.
Actually, the first time I say that Obama video with all the stars doing voiceovers of his words and the refrain of "yes we can" I thought of Cesar Chavez -- the UFW always have marched with "Si, se pueda" -- yes, we can -- as their call.
that was a great read.
I live in San Antonio. I definitely know who he is. I'm just tired. Thanks for pointing that out.
