Presidential campaign?

[rogwar]

Are not US presidential candidates usually supposed to campaign in the USA?

[Winks]

I always thought so

[avionix]

But the Liberals would like to see us as part of something larger.  Remember the whole, "It takes a village!" crap?  Even liberal judges are starting to use laws of other nations as reasoning in their dissents.  Ain't that nice.  For all I care, let Osamabama stay over there.

[john9001]

if you are going to change the world you must campaign in the world, Germany 72%, France 64%, England 60% in favor of obama.

[Maverick]

It depends on if your party supports allowing non citizens to vote in the election as well as have drivers licenses when here illegally...............

Awww screw that! Next thing you know we'll have little blue helmuts running around and be members of the United federation of Planets.

Its none of Europe's business who we elect. I could just see their reaction if Americans participated in their Politicians campaigns.

This guy Obama is going to be a disaster.

Obama's world tour is probably an act of political brilliance.

The biggest obstacle he faces, I believe,  is his inexperience.  If he can show he can conduct himself in a presidential manner before the election, then a lot of people will probably not consider the experience factor as much as they might otherwise have.

If he's really good, people will probably think they're re-electing him when they finally hit the polls.

Image, Image, Image.

that's no way to talk about the next president of the United States.



P.S. trying to link A American who has done nothing but try to help his country ( no matter how wrong or right he is) to a terrorist who has killed thousands of Americans is just immature and tactless

Obama beats McCain in Europe donations

By GREGORY KATZ, Associated Press Writer Fri Jul 25, 7:19 AM ET

LONDON - Barack Obama's campaign has received roughly 10 times more money from declared U.S. donors living in Germany, France and Britain than his Republican rival, reflecting his popularity in Europe as he makes his first tour of the continent as the presumed Democratic nominee.

Federal Election Commission reports show Obama has raised at least $1 million from donors who identify themselves as Americans living in Great Britain, Germany and France, while John McCain has taken in at least $150,000.

Some donors say the huge disparity, which also exists in overall funding raising in which Obama has raked in $338 million to $126.3 million for McCain, is more about disliking Bush and the prospect of another Republican succeeding him than it is an affection for Obama.

"I contributed because of the absolutely appalling performance of the Bush administration during the last eight years," said Eileen Taylor, a chief operating officer for Deutsche Bank in London.

She made two $2,300 donations, the maximum allowed, and is also working on a voter registration drive to make it easier for Americans abroad to cast ballots in the November election.

"We're actively signing people up to vote," she said. "Democrats Abroad is working with a lot of companies to set up voter registration and absentee ballots. The key message is that it's not about the money. A lot of people are putting emotional energy into this campaign."

Taking donations from foreigners should be banned, surely?

[USRanger]

You would friggin' think. Sometimes the way our system works is downright embarrassing.  I guess in a capitalist society anything can be bought.  Even the next President.  I'm moving to Easter Island.

Taking donations from foreigners should be banned, surely?

Forgetting China donations to Clinton?

so sad the short term memory of today.

of course not. our next president has already been appointed. they just need to wait for the formality of the election to come up.

[Raptor]

McCain campaigned abroad but lets not mention that, lets just attack someone because they are labeled a democrat.

Really? You mean his trip to Central America?

I wouldn't label him (Obama) a Democrat. A screaming left wing radical Marxist maybe. But not a Democrat.
