Obama Nomination Causes Celebration Around The World
One of the more ridiculous aspects of the Obama nomination has been the reaction of the International community.
Like most Americans, I think our willingness to nominate a black man for President is a very good thing. It shows that America is moving in the right direction, and truly represents a historic achievement.
People around the world have generally echoed those sentiments, but with a very irritating twist. News reports around the world describe the “relief” people are feeling over his nomination.
Obama’s being heralded as a “peace lover” who will rescue the world from the evil clutches of George Bush. A woman in Mexico City said, “Bush was for the elite. Obama is of the people.”
That’s just too cheesy of a line for the press to have made up.
A 39-year old man living in a Paris suburb said this:
“The candidate’s freshness can only do good, because the way things have been done before created a mess,” he said.
I’m not sure what mess he’s referring to, or how said mess had any impact on his life in the suburbs of Paris.
What really had people excited was the prospect that finally America might have a President willing to capitulate and appease countries like Iran.
Just the idea that America could have a President willing to sit down and talk with the thug from Iran has many around the world giddy as school girls.
The truth is that the International community is largely filled with idiots and cowards.
The world will be thanking George W. Bush years from now for having had the courage to confront threats rather than run from them.
If it weren’t for America’s military might, the world would likely be run by tyrants and dictators.
