John Obama...has a certain "ring" to it.......

When he wuz in high school, twirling the spliffs, he was known as Barry Obama.

Heck, I'd even endorse Obama if it'd keep him from being elected...

It is Bad form and very impolite for and other country to endorse any candidate wether it be in the US or any where else in the world. Don't meddle.....

Why would any country look out for anything but their own best interests?  The socialist countries of the world OVERWELMINGLY support obama.  Do these countries want a strong socialist Europe or a strong America?  If you were a leader of a country in Europe, would you be looking out for the interests of your country or those of a country on the other side of the ocean?  Would you support a potential leader who you felt would give your country an edge or a potential leader who would work to give his own country an edge?

Why would ANY American take into consideration the endorsement of a candidate from a politician from another country?  Wake up.

 The neo con Bush administration has just Nationalized two large financial institutions,by injecting around 2 billion of your-the American tax payers-hard earned dollars.

 A socialist solution,to a private enterprise dilemma,brought on by years of allowing the markets to take care of themselves and non intervention.

 The US government propping up Freddie mac & Fannie Mae is not a socialist solution through the back door,it's a socialist solution through the front door with a welcome mat.

 Are current Labour government may be as egregious as the present Bush administration,but Socialist it is not,in fact the gap between Rich and poor has widened since 1997.

 The nearest it has come to it's socialist roots was taking into temporary ownership-they dare not use the word Nationalize- the northern Rock Building Society,which was partly due to the downturn in the US economy,and are own laissez-faire greedy financial free market.

 As for Gordon Brown showing support for obama,I think he'd show support for a Pigs bladder on a Stick if it had a chance of getting the republicans out of office.

The neo con Bush administration did this?? Do you understand how our government works over here at all? The President didn't do it. The liberal Democrat controlled Congress did it as they are the ONLY ones that can pass the laws in this country and distribute federal funds, and it took a new law to Nationalize those two companies and give them those funds. Bush just went along with them this time because even if he tried to veto the bill, Congress would have over rode the veto and it would have happened anyway.

There wasn't many options in the matter. As I understand it, allowing those 2 companies to fail would have had huge consequences for not only the American economy but also for the world economy.

My personal opinion is if Obama gets elected, he wont actually running the country. I think the democrats picked him because he can give a good speech and looks good on T.V. I mean thats why JFK won against Nixon is what most people believe.

 Elfie your correct their was no option,Bush had no choice in the end.

 But my point was that extreme right wing Laissez-faire Economics and Greed brought the US economy to it's current state.A small amount of regulation earlier may have prevented this unprecedented step,but for eight years the republicans and my own "Socialist" Government in the Uk have let the financial institutions have their way and not interfered.

 We are all paying the price.Literally.

 To be fair,Clinton did nothing on his watch either.
