If Obama loses then the European community should make him a prime minister. Obama favors socialism so he'll feel right at home.

If you think that Obama and the democratic party are anywhere near the idea of socialism of the big socialist parties of Europe, you have no idea what you are talking about. The Democrats would be on the right in every European nation, the Republicans wouldn't stand a chance in Europe during elections, most people would see them as extremists.

What I do find strange as described in the article is the fact that being a popular leader abroad is a bad thing for most Americans!

Another thing that bothers me about the average American Joe, is that he'd rather have a president that he could have a beer with than someone with a good education? We noticed it with Dubya, he goes around parading with his cowboy-hat and boots and people love it and meanwhile, just as you did, they call the other side "elitists", just because they had a good education.
So in the States education is also a bad thing now, are you afraid you might learn things that upset your simple minds? Why don't you want the leader of your great country and of the free western world to have the best possible education? No, they'd rather have a 'hockey mom' with her hands on 'the button' or someone who is known to have a temper!
