Probably because he stated that it was wrong for Obama to not "ask permission" to go in and take out Bin Laden.

I thought I saw where Poland supported Romney. I guess the chart would be too busy for the whole world.

Why isn't Pakistan supporting the Muslim candidate?

WWMD?


And no that does not stand for W's Weapons of Mass Destruction


It stands for What Would Mohammed Do?

It still makes me laugh every time I look at this and see that Romney gets his highest percentage of support from Kenya.

that the rest of the world is only out to 'get' the U.S., somehow. The paranoia is strong in that crowd.

Aussies like Obama, and they were very mindful of the historic nature of his election in 2008. Because, ya know, it's not as if they haven't struggled with racial issues themselves (and continue to do so).

A number of my mates here have asked me, "That Romney's not going to win, is he?" To which I've replied, "well, he could . . ."

But now I can say, "I don't think so."

They're going down in a humiliating defeat.
I just hope they take the GOP down with them.


I love it.

HE travels from Fukuoka to the other extreme end of the island, kanazawa prefecture, and he says OBAMA is the King in Japan. That morning he found a whole bunch of anti-romney thingies drawn and taped on light poles etc, of Romney's face with devil horns, tail and blood coming out of his mouth with huge teeth, and other types of drawings too,. Don't you just love Japan? btw, Fukuoka is a gorgeous modern city, sooo pretty!

I love Spain's Romney % - what is that, 2? A lot of the countries further down the list don't add up to more than 50%, though ... they must have someone else in mind besides Obama or Romney - or just don't know enough about them (would we know much about 2 candidates in some of those countries?)

the regular citizens, which this poll reflects. He meant his crony-capitalism buddies. I'm pretty sure he has the support of most of the 1%, where ever they live.
