Experts: Obama Presidency Likely To Disappoint Foreign Fans
It is not surprising to me Senator Obama has recieved overwhelming support in foreign polls. The main contributor to their support of Obama is George W. Bush. Bush has been considered a bully who is not willing to negotiate and has no desire for peace. Europe especially considers Obama their choice for American President. The fact that analysts such as the Financial Times suggest that Obama will not live up to the hype, but are still rooting for him, is clear evidence of a lack of trust in the alternative. I have suggested why I think it is, do you agree or do you suggest some other driving influence.

I agree that Bush has left a bad impression on the world and is clearly disliked by them as well. That is not helping McCain, but i believe that Obama has inspired people in the U.S. and people all over the world. They are supporting a victory for him because they believe that he can restore what Americans stood for before Bush was in office.
How can Obama be inspiring people? What has he done that is any different then any other president? To me he is a mere figure head for what the democrats are wanting to project. Every time he talks I am left thinking, wow. Not wow'd because of the ability he has to make motivate me, but wow because I realize he just said absolutely nothing. Yeah, his ideas are great. But what will he accomplish in office? I believe absolutely nothing. How can you go and say that Americans stood for something before Bush was in office. If you compare the reasons for the fall of the Roman Empire to the United States pre 9/11, you will see ample similarities. Bush was a great, calm and respective leader in a time of need for the United States. For you to say that he has completely changed what America has stood for is ludicrous.
Obama inspires many and people know he will do a good job in office because if he does not know something he will get help from others. I definately got this from his book the Audicity of Hope. He believes in people and believes we can be a better America and I think other counties want America to change. Talking to some foreigners they are excited about our election how often has that happened and this is because of Obama.
What makes you think that Obama's ideas are great but that he will accomplish none of them? He has so much support, and so many other people think they are "great" that I find it very hard to believe that none of his goals will be accomplished if he becomes president.
