He is running for President of the world! I could not believe it either. His own banner says “Change is coming to the world”.

What happened to America? Why is this fraud still running?



?? What?? He wants to be president of the world?? Blink! Blink! Now I know why all the polls are for him. Everyone has access to the internet. What a fraud!



Did you know obomba is campaigning in Nigeria too? I just found this why looking on other forum boards. http://www.obamanigeria.org/

It is no wonder all poll show him in the lead. He has everyone in other countries pulling for him. Well, I want a man who wants to run the USA, not the entire world like this banner says. Question: Did they all vote absentee or are they all flying in on Nov. 4th ?

IT IS TIME FOR ALL UNION PEOPLE TO WAKE UP AND THINK FOR YOURSELVES AND NOT DO WHAT THE UNION PRES TELLS YOU TO DO. READ THIS WEBPAGE: http://www.sodahead.com/question/172292/if-obama-is-elected-will-he-set-race-relations-back-decades/ THERE ARE MANY LINKS INSIDE THE PAGE AND ASK YOURSELF IF THIS IS REALLY WHO YOU WANT.

Another response to 'anonymous'

You don't want a President of the world, you want a President of the USA? Well my friend, unfortunately for you, the President of the USA is inherently going to 'preside' over the world to a certain extent. We are the most powerful nation in the world. This is not because we fight wars, have weapons, invented American football, or speak English. The reasons and the history for why we are such a powerful nation are very complicated, but boil down to a few different key issues.

One is that we are an imperial country. An example of one of our colonies is Puerto Rico. Please look this up if you did not know this. You should be informed about your own country. No, this is no 'liberal' or 'leftie' lie, this is a fact. The Philippines was also briefly colonized by the US, and the Japanese Constitution was written by Americans after WWII and is modeled after our own constitution.

Also, we are dependent on oil and cannot produce more of our own without destroying the environment completely.

An Austrian friend of Obama IS America! (Austria being a German-speaking country in Europe, not Australia, which is south of the continent of Asia) made the point that when the Austrian elections happened a few weeks ago, there was more in the news about the US Presidential election, than on their own election. What does this mean? This means that whoever become President of the US has an incredibly profound impact on other countries in this world, especially this election in particular--considering all the major issues facing the US and the world at the present moment.

Lastly, the link you posted, obamanigeria.org, is just a support site of Obama but in another country. They were not calling for Obama to be President of the world, but they were excited about the meaning of Obama winning the Presidency--namely that the US may finally be breaking away from its tradition of slavery, colonization, imperialism, and brutalization of non-White peoples, whether at home in the US or abroad.
