- Genecalypse, on 11/05/2008, -19/+425Believe me when I say this, the whole world was rooting for Obama
- Elranzer, on 11/05/2008, -3/+320Dubya's still in until Jan 20, 2009
- stuckinneutral, on 11/05/2008, -12/+292I wish these were all on one page but still dugg it.
- stnz, on 11/05/2008, -24/+299I think its pretty cool that TIME did this..
I know that in Australia it was reported that 3 out of every 4 people would have voted for Obama.
Now that Obama has won, the economy and consumer confidence will definatly increase - NyteStarNyne, on 11/05/2008, -11/+208I must say, I'd hate to be on the wrong side of history today. After being around my mother and some friends during the time Obama was predicted the winner, the feeling was so surreal that I really do pity anyone who feels bitter when the rest of the world feels overwhelmed with joy. It's very likely that such a moment will never happen again in our lifetime.
- ralph123, on 11/05/2008, -6/+200As someone from Europe I just wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate the United States.
A story like the one of Barack Obama is probably only possible in America and you guys should be incredibly proud about this! Well done! - estate, on 11/05/2008, -21/+210+1 for Obama from here in the land down under.
America, this is your finest hour. - Magnus150, on 11/05/2008, -13/+187Indeed they will, because we might actually stop bombing their innocent civilians in the foreseeable future.
- laibixi, on 11/05/2008, -3/+156On the biggest social-networking website in Germany, studivz.net (it's mainly for college students), 1.578.838 people or 91,4% "voted" for Obama.
I thought you might want to know that:)!
Congratulations from Germany!
(and don't forget to always remind him of his promises! Politicians are very forgetful sometimes!) - Schrum, on 11/05/2008, -12/+132Well, i'll speak for Denmark!
85% of the nation is supporting Obama, so we're very happy!
Thank you America! - dienaked, on 11/05/2008, -13/+116Like my dad always said, "Don't get your hopes up too high."
I'd like to amend it to, "Don't get your hopes up too high, he's still a politician deep down." - Jektal, on 11/05/2008, -6/+108If you're western, can it be Palin?
- phreak79, on 11/05/2008, -10/+112He's been hyped up a whole lot by his supporters as some kind of global saviour. Time to deliver now. He'll surely have a supportive environment on Capitol Hill with the senate likely to be Democrat controlled too.
- vertigo32, on 11/05/2008, -4/+103Ok America, we did the easy part. Time to start on the real job.
- rotundo, on 11/05/2008, -5/+100And that's a good thing. With 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, and the vast majority being good folk, we'll benefit from building a better relationship with them. Obama is just the man to do it.
We'll see how this goes, but it's a good shot. - EddyRX10, on 11/05/2008, -8/+100Obamas victory was the best news I've heard in a long time.
I live in the UK... If only we had such a leader :( - paintgrl, on 11/05/2008, -2/+92You Betcha!
- Olivaise, on 11/05/2008, -98/+187I was getting scared for a little while... I thought I was going to have to move back to France if McCain won.
- rescu911, on 11/05/2008, -1/+87You can see Palin from your house.
- Greengoo, on 11/05/2008, -3/+80I go to school with a guy from Iran. He summed it up for me like this: Iranians as a people have a general like of america as a people. It's the government we don't like.
Here's hoping to change that. - LogicBomB, on 11/05/2008, -6/+83Put it this way: I'm Canadian and I've never before wished we had your guy running our place before.
Can we maybe borrow him occasionally? - Panzwhore, on 11/05/2008, -56/+129He won the election big deal, lets wait 4 years before we start calling him the greatest thing since sliced cheese.
- jonssonar, on 11/05/2008, -0/+70I'm glad you two just solved the US / Iran conflict. Well done.
- CressCrowbits, on 11/05/2008, -1/+70Great article but shame that France gets statements from a respected writer and philosopher, India a nobel laureat ... and we in the UK get creepy little power-hungry soulless Blair-Cameron hybrid sleazbag David Milliband.
- inactive, on 11/05/2008, -7/+71WTF, we just survived eight years of the worst president in history, and people think NOW is the time to start panicking? Man, that's some crazy cognitive dissonance there. Well, I guess it just goes to show how Bush got reelected in 2004 when you have people so dense they don't realize that anyone, ANYONE, would do a better job than Bush has been doing.
- metavital, on 11/05/2008, -1/+65Although you Americans have come a difficult way through eight-frustratingly-long-years to acknowledge the wrongdoings of their administration, this day I must say that you have shown your capability to make a better choice that not only matters to your own country but to the rest of the world as well.
- fibreoptix, on 11/05/2008, -4/+65We can always go back to Quebec.
- MakanGuru, on 11/05/2008, -9/+66the world thanks you for voting america
- inactive, on 11/05/2008, -3/+57What an ignorant thing to say. Really, you speak from ignorance without much thought or real knowledge involved at all. You are wrong on all counts. This election was won by a huge margin, and that includes a majority of well educated white middle class Americans. If you would take a moment and look at the demographics covered by the wins in Obama's column you would see this.
Snap out of the I know what I'm told and believe every word from some idiot on the radio nonsense. It's people like you that allowed this country to be in the position it is in today. Bush didn't lose this election. McCain lost it along with his dumb ***** of a VP choice.
Wake up you ***** moron. - krahzee, on 11/05/2008, -2/+53Greengoo:
Tell your friend the feeling is mutual. Iranians are fine. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is an intolerant ass hat. - dsmx, on 11/05/2008, -3/+52Europe has a lot of socialist policies and is doing quite well.
- zeblith, on 11/05/2008, -1/+50I'm lactose-intolerant?
- popzero, on 11/05/2008, -11/+59They like us! They really like us!
But seriously: That Singapore guy is flat out smooth lookin'. Dugg for his cool aura of uncoolness. - inactive, on 11/05/2008, -9/+56now we can finally revive the Kyoto protocol now that Johnny Ho & Dumbya are out.
- inactive, on 11/05/2008, -0/+46Christ. Of all the people the UK could have fielded for this article we get that smarmy little reptile, Milliband. Fancies himself the next Prime Minister, while still claiming to work for and support our current one.
Still, Go Obama. - Radan, on 11/05/2008, -1/+46Same here in Sweden.
Even our current relatively more right-balanced government have had great support for Obama.
Now personally I think that Obama has so far been a good talker, but it will interesting to see if he can actually live up to his reputation. - omnithought, on 11/05/2008, -2/+46Obama, you got our votes (well, from those who got ballots anyway). Please don't let us down. We've been burned too many times. I hope you stand behind your words, because the things you promised are the things the whole world needs from us. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt. Make us proud again! Let us not be embarrassed to be American anymore!
- Coffeedemon, on 11/05/2008, -3/+45We've still got our resident jackass... I'm not shocked he had no quote on the matter.
- tehblister, on 11/05/2008, -0/+42"Dammit! Who typed a question mark on the teleprompter?"
- vaeldas, on 11/05/2008, -2/+43Err... Why don't we try something new in this world and make friends with anyone, regardless of religion, race or creed. Last I checked, we all bleed red. And we are all human.
But ig'nant hicks like you, keep the anti-american feelings strong in the rest of the world. - getbusyliving, on 11/05/2008, -8/+48We can make fun of ourselves, we are still stuck with that douche-tard Stephen Harper. For the first time in my life I'm envious of Americans.
- estate, on 11/05/2008, -1/+41Forgive me. Heaven forbid I express my support and congratulations. What was I thinking?
- inactive, on 11/05/2008, -2/+42Not by any measure?
I can think of one... - XtheXlanternX, on 11/05/2008, -1/+41An absolutely amazing article. I hope Obama lives up to the great expectations that are laid out for him.
- stonecircle, on 06/11/2009, -1/+39Our friends in Denmark and Finland were following our election closely. They had their election night parties, too, and were pulling for Obama. It was heartwarming the support we've received from all over the world in the election of Barack Obama as our president. Thank you one and all!
- Irlande, on 11/05/2008, -1/+39Since it's not on the list,
Ireland:
Irish Taoiseach (Prime Minister):
'Barack Obama's remarkable personal story - allied to his eloquence and his huge political talents - sends a powerful message of hope to America's friends across the world.' He also extended an official invitation to the President-elect to visit Ireland and his ancestral home in Co Offaly.
:) http://www.rte.ie/news/2008/1105/uselection.html - Luber, on 11/05/2008, -1/+39And I'll speak for Russia!
90% of the nation is supporting Obama, so we're very happy! - pingudownunder, on 11/05/2008, -2/+36In Australia, "rooting" has a very diffeent meaning. Which is a good thing. I'm sure there'll be a lot of rooting going on tonight.
- Murdats, on 11/05/2008, -0/+33it doesn't matter if the population is happy, don't you know americans like to be miserable and anything but socialist (this is ignoring their publicly funded schools, roads, emergency services and so on, but don't tell anyone, reality upsets americans)
