The world opened itself up to America after 9/11, and we betrayed them. They crossed their fingers in 2004, and we failed them.
Let's not screw it up this time.

at the end of this week, does he credit from the right wing for all these foreign policy breakthroughs now?

Somehow I doubt it, and Bush will be given credit for anything good while Obama is blamed for anything bad, but one could hope to have a fair media, can't they?!?

See,Dr Evil? It's not so hard.

Actually what barbara never said to george hw boosh is his sons are not his own; she had an affair with the town's rat-catcher. Afterall, who else would touch that bag?

Now that we'll soon have a President Obama, does that mean he'll be P.O'd?

I would imagine that the world views the Obama victory as a sign of the end of the neocon era. The rest of the world, which resides in the 21st century, is completely aware of the goals and aspirations of the neocon movement, the citizens of this country who are still stuck in the 20th century; not so much.

And how is the rest of the world going to see america one year from today if! were still in iraq , if and few even want to discuss it, were fighting a full scale war in afganistan wich is an act of agression on americas part, will the world think its just peachy cream that we still have a war time president? creating an econmy is one thing , keeping a useless war in afganistans another thing,

Anyone want to purchase a semi-used backpack bearing a red Canadian maple leaf at a reasonable price?
To those who have stated that President-elect Obama hasn't done anything yet I would have to disagree. Hope may be labeled as intangible but it is having an effect on how our country is perceived around the globe. I can remember vividly how conservatives lamented (gleefully, I might add) on how the US was viewed around the world during the Clinton/Lewinsky affair and what a huge ordeal it was. The truth of the matter is the world's opinion was that it was a private matter and not worth the fuss that the anti-Clinton people made it out to be. It is also a fact that it was the Bush administration that soured the world view of our country. Instead of trying to improve that outlook the Bush supporters chose to further alienate our country by insulting our critics and by changing the name of deep-fried potatoes.
For me, I am not under the "spell" of President-elect Barack Obama but I am for more optimistic for my country than had it been the McCain-Palin ticket.

There's been a story lately that got a small blurb in the paper, and I haven't seen anywhere else. I think it happened in Africa, but they stoned to death a 13 year old girl for being raped. And this wasn't like a lynching, but was in a stadium full of people.

what the right wing bloggers and their commenters are saying about Obama's election but were too afraid to go to their websites to find out?

Fear not, intrepid liberals, for I took several hits for the team to give you the results.

are mostly about his great organizational skills. After only three days after his election and 70 odd days before his being sworn in, he has called meetings with Economic Experts and has conferred with leader of other countries. He has shown the World that he has hit the ground running. His Ideas are sound and most believe that if he asks the American People to act, They will.

And the good thing is .... The American Image has already gained back some of the lustre it once had.

Although I was treated all right where I am now, in Japan, I did get a sense of not being liked, or merely being tolerated in some areas. I'm glad Obama won but I wonder if it will make Europeans, Asians, South Americans, etc. like Americans more. As for me, I totally began hating America from December 2000 on, and it's going to take a lot to heal that eight year totalitarian scar in me.

I seriously doubt if the Afghans will feel euphoric if and when Obama fulfills his pledge of sending more American soldiers into their country or the Iraqis when they see the 60,000 to 80,000 American troops that are left in their country as well as the 140,000 civilian contractors such as Blackwater after Obama's phased withdrawal has been finally completed. Or the Pakistanis and the Syrians if and when Obama decides, like Bush has done, to send American forces and drone missiles into their countries where already innocent civilians have been killed through the use of American aggression. If these actions are carried out [and Obama has certainly kept those options on the table], the people in those countries will then realize that Obama's hope has been turned into despair and betrayal.

While I'm pleased that Mr.Obama was elected, as a Canadian who has traveled extensively abroad, I have never met anyone outside the U.S. who would consider the American President to be "President of the World".

"President of the world"? Talk about being full of themselves.

If there's one thing Obama needs to end, it's the bullshit of "American Exceptionalism". That's the single greatest cause of the US's problems, past and present.
