Europe: U.S. A Force For Evil That Must Save Itself By Electing Hussein
CNS:
If citizens of five leading European countries were electing the next U.S. president, Democratic Sen. Barack Obama would be a shoo-in, according to a new poll that also reveals strong views on America’s global role.
The survey also found that more people in four of the five countries viewed the United States as “a force for evil” in today’s world than “a force for good.”
To a separate question, respondents said Obama was better equipped than McCain “to lead the world economy out of its current difficulties” in all the surveyed countries ( except Russia, where McCain was favored by a 36-28 point margin.)
Only in Italy did more respondents (49-27 percent) consider the U.S. a force for good rather than evil.
In a survey of some 6,200 people in Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Russia, Obama received 52 percent of the vote to just 15 percent for Republican Sen. John McCain. Sen. Hillary Clinton was not listed as an option in the YouGov poll, conducted for the London Daily Telegraph ’s Internet site.
The biggest gap between the two presumptive candidates was in Germany, where Obama scored 67 percent support to McCain’s six percent. In Russia, the gap was the smallest, with Obama leading by a 31-24 margin.
Respondents in the other three countries also favored Obama by large margins — Italy (70-15), France (65-8) and Britain (49-14).
Of those in the other four countries, Russians were the most anti-American, with 56 percent calling the U.S. a force for evil and only 16 percent a force for good. Germans had the next most negative view (39-25 percent) of America’s global role.
The Telegraph said the Iraq war was probably “the single most important factor” in the growing hostility towards America during the Bush presidency, and noted that McCain strongly supported the war while Obama opposed it.
The strong anti-American sentiment found in Germany was also evident in another recent poll, conducted by the University of Maryland’s program on international policy attitudes (PIPA) for the BBC World Service early this year. Among seven European countries participating in that poll, Germany had by far the most negative views of U.S. influence (72 percent).
Nevertheless, reports from Germany show a level of enthusiasm for Obama perhaps unmatched elsewhere in Europe. Speculation is rife this week that the Democrat — who is often compared in Germany to John F. Kennedy — may visit Berlin over the summer.
“The ‘new Kennedy’ wants to visit Berlin,” the Stern newsweekly reported, while Der Spiegel quoted Karsten Voigt, the German government’s coordinator for trans-Atlantic relations, as declaring that “Germany is Obamaland.”
“If a U.S. presidential hopeful visits Berlin, holding a speech at the Brandenburg Gate and going afterward to the Kennedy Museum, it provides powerful images for the American electorate,” Voight told Tagesspiegel, a daily newspaper.
President Kennedy famously visited Berlin in 1963, delivering a speech in support of West Germany shortly after the erection of the Berlin Wall.
If the Democratic Party finds in the European poll cause to celebrate as its bruising nomination battle comes to an end, a reminder from four years ago may provide reason for caution.
In a PIPA poll conducted two months before the 2004 presidential election, respondents in those same five European countries favored Democratic candidate Sen. John Kerry over Bush by large margins: Germany (Kerry by 74-10), France (64-5), Italy (58-14), Britain (47-16) and Russia (20-10).
Bush beat Kerry by more than two percent of the popular vote and by 35 Electoral College votes.

May 30th, 2008 at 9:58 pmYeah, he’d make a good President in oh say Iran or maybe England. The Telegraph says we’re a force for good and these poll-obsessed tards say otherwise. Wow, like who didn’t know that the leftist media was a tad bit schitzoid.
May 30th, 2008 at 9:59 pmWe’re supposed to care?
Islamization definitely running rampant over in their country, and they call US the source of evil? LOL
May 30th, 2008 at 10:09 pmThe worldwide liberal media has no clue…
May 30th, 2008 at 10:14 pmWow. A whole 6,200 people. Wow. I’m not sure. Is that a lot? I may have slept since then, but yesterday I’m pretty sure there were, maybe, what…millions, billions of people in Europe? Is that more or less than 6,200?
May 30th, 2008 at 10:15 pmWhat IS it with Obama?? I don’t understand why everyone’s fussing all over him. he never accomplished anything.
May 30th, 2008 at 10:33 pmAmerican technocracy as demonstrated by astronaut Buzz Aldrin. I never get tired of this one.

May 30th, 2008 at 10:41 pmSlick Willy may have been the first ‘black’ President. But the Messiah will be the first Affirmative Action President.
Not racist..but hell fu*k we are screwed if this POS is voted in. McCain, although I can’t stand him either, better get a little more ballsy during the general.
May 30th, 2008 at 10:49 pmI probably wrote about 3 different comments out then kept deleting them instead. but i have come to this conclusion.
fuck em’! if our efforts worldwide are seen as a force for evil then screw anyone who feels that way.
we’re damned if we do and damned if we dont. my goal in life is not to please Europe. in reality it was 6200 people polled so who really knows how everyone thinks.
here in America we include more people in polls while asking questions like, do you like the new ball park in cincinnati or not? and a question as big as, is the US a force for good, or evil gets such a half ass effort behind it.
May 30th, 2008 at 11:00 pmYour link…never saw it before…and
…the “punchee” says to Buzz Aldrin, “your a coward and a liar”…the guy barely finishes saying “liar” and…pow, right in the kisser.
Everyone, check it out, it’s a short Vid, but it’s great
May 30th, 2008 at 11:03 pmi guess these people dont come to this website a lot
May 30th, 2008 at 11:05 pmThis just proves that the best of Europe’s breeding stock was wasted in WW II. You would think that the French would have would have replaced some of it with all the “collaborating” they did with the Germans and the Americans during & after WW II, But I guess the “French surrender” gene is dominant along with the rest of the pussy ass European gene pool.

May 30th, 2008 at 11:42 pmWell, it’s a relief to see the Kerry prediction accuracy is about to be repeated!
The headline, of course, is Oblabla’s core message.
May 31st, 2008 at 12:02 amI suddenly like Italy much better.
May 31st, 2008 at 12:03 amSince he won’t go to IRAQ, let’s ship him to France.
May 31st, 2008 at 12:06 amI wish people would stop anointing obama as prez, he is a person, not the recipient of a royal decree.
May 31st, 2008 at 2:11 amCan I get a “BULLSHIT!” ?
“YouGov poll, conducted for the London Daily Telegraph ’s Internet site”
So a leftist publication offers an online poll. Yea, that’s an accurate reading of the population.
The only polls I know that matter have moved Europe back to the right. They are called elections.
May 31st, 2008 at 2:55 ampull the wood out of thine own eye
May 31st, 2008 at 3:26 amThe Germans go for Hessein? So what!These are the same people that put, I don’t know maybe HITLER in power?That’s all the more reasons not to vote for this guy.

McCain should wear that as a BADGE OF HONOR! If I were his campaign manager I’d suggest a commercial be made with those facts, nothing like commies and socialists railing against you to make the point that your doing something right!!
May 31st, 2008 at 5:15 amAwesome! If only Eurabia would save us from ourselves!
Shut up you pathetic cretins, if you want Barry so badly make him the President of the European Union!
May 31st, 2008 at 5:56 amThis is why Europe is in danger of being overrun by muslims.
muslims are the enemy, they intent is obvious, to take over, implement sharia law, destroy christianity and subjugate non muslim society
It is not important what Europe would do or thinks about our American election. If they don’t like McCain, they can stay home and contemplate there next move or how to do a better job of appeasing and sucking up to the muslims.
Poor bastards
May 31st, 2008 at 8:08 amI find it hilarious that Germans want Obama to hold a speech at the Brandenburg Gate (symbol of the Berlin Wall) and in the same breath call the US more evil than good even though it was the US that got the wall taken down.
May 31st, 2008 at 9:01 amI have found this link a good source for whats shakin in Europestan.

May 31st, 2008 at 9:15 amItaly has the best food of that group by far, and low and behold, they are the most favorable.
When I look at Hussein’s and McCain’s respective support bases, there is really no contest which gives me a more favorable opinion.
