Europe’s Man
ByNew York Magazine’s Daily Intel blog warns Europeans that the more they cheer for Barack Obama, the greater the chance he will lose:
The Americans who would listen to the advice of Western Europe are the ones who listen to the BBC feed on NPR in the morning for their international news and opinion  in other words, the people who are already going to vote for Obama. The people who he is trying to win over at this very moment, as he campaigns in the red states, are the ones who will view a European endorsement as a total minus. Remember when there was a movement to rename French Fries “Freedom Fries” over here? Yeah, it’s those people who will be alienated by your support. Frankly, they think you’re a bunch of Socialist sissies.

This is just one person opinion, the rest of Americans don’t vote because of European support. I think they will vote Obama for president to bring back stability to America.

Europe is fully of socialist sissies, and the blogger is right. The number one reason why I would not vote for Obama is cuz wester (emphasis on western) Europeans want him to win. It’s not so much I’m trying to diss the eurotrash, it’s that if europeans endorse something, it must be not good. I don’t know about the rest of the country, but I personally am not ready to see my country become a part of the EU by electing a radical marxist like obama into office. Sorry, euros!!

PD, could you set up a filter so that people who end comments with 2 or more exclamation marks are automatically sent sent to spam?!!
