Hey world! What do you think? Obama or McCain?

Here at home in the United (yet completely divided) States, the polls are showing that we have a real barn-burner of a presidential election going on. But have you ever stopped to think about how the international community feels? I mean, who we elect as President can have a pretty significant impact on their daily hubbub as well. So what does the world think? We know they were less than thrilled when we 'elected' the big W in 2000, and most thought the US should be declared clinically insane when we decided to double-down on our idiocy in 2004. But now, in 2008, we are guaranteed someone new - well, one of them is pretty freaking old - but you get the point. Thankfully, our media pals across the pond, the BBC, were wondering the same thing and polled 22 countries over the course of July and August to find out the international opinion. So, what did they think?

Well, of the 22 nations polled, only 22 said they would prefer Obama to be the next US President over McCain. That's 22 nations that are just asking to get destroyed by the McCain/Give me a P! - give me an A! - give me an L! - give me an I! - give me an N! - ticket, should they be victorious in November.

But it was close, right? It was extremely close, with 12% favoring McCain, and Obama just a few ticks ahead at 49%. The other 39% of the world thinks we're already a lost cause and are currently urinating on the US dollar and laughing maniacally.

Clearly the world is biased, sexist, and in the tank with Obama and all of his lying, cheating supporters. So what if 100% of the countries in the world think Obama would be the better pick, 100% of the world is wrong. The only thing this poll shows is that foreigners are stupid. USA! USA! USA!

The countries involved in the over 22,000 person GlobeScan conducted poll were Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Kenya, Lebanon, Mexico, Nigeria, Panama, the Philippines, Poland, Russia, Singapore, Turkey, the UAE, Britain.

John McCain knows where at least 4 of those countries are, but would not commit to speaking with leaders of any of them.

Obama is going to tax the crap out of you...

According to recent polls, 53% of Americans think that Senator Barack Obama's Tax plan would mean an increase in taxes for them.  The McCain Campaign thinks so, and rightfully so since John and Cindy...yeah, they'd be dishing out a few extra Benjamins.  But the big question is, what would Obama's plan mean to your finances.  Unfortunately for those of us who aren't blue collar grease monkeys or white collar middle-management wastoids, it looks like we'd be paying a little more.  And so would the big-ass corporations we've worked so hard to build, on shipping jobs overseas or paying illegals a "special" minimum wage.  But all you lazy asses making less than about $250,000 a year, will sadly be handed a tax cut - in most cases - especially for those just north of being hobos -  you will get a bigger tax cut than John McCain will give you.  You see, John McCain knows that when we help the rich get richer, that eventually all you riff-raff out there will get your trickle down from those of us who aren't retards.  So while Obama might give the whining middle class a few extra bucks so they can buy groceries, if you're making your millions, Obama will tax the crap out of you, and you can kiss that 3rd jet-ski at your 4th vacation home in Cape Cod goodbye.  

So, if you must, follow the link to see how much or how little the Obama Tax plan would save you.  And then get a better job you lazy sacks of middle class meat.

McCain overtakes Obama in the polls - finally!

Has anyone out there ever taken a poll? I have never in my life taken a poll for a politcal race, or any other reason? What's more than that...I don't know anyone else that has either. Are the same 800 people taking these polls every week, or are these polling places just going, "oh yeah, we asked 942 people who they'll vote for and here's what they said...and here's a margin of error since we really didn't ask anybody."

And who are these 4-10% of people that are undecided? Clearly the only reasonable choice in this election is McCain. In case you didn't know, he's a war hero, and a Maverick. And in true Top Gun reference mode, I am happy to see that "Maverick" found his "Goose" (Palin). I mean McCain is the candidate of experience, and the candidate of change. He's a reformer who's voted with Bush 100% of the time so far this year, but remains a maverick for calling himself a reformer when evidence clearly indicates otherwise. He can be the attack dog, but has managed to make it 'unfair' if he's attacked. Clearly, according to himself, he is the candidate for everything. And the best thing is, he doesn't even have to tell us how...he's that good. How could you still be undecided? The answer is clear.

And why don't they have a Vice President Poll? I want to see a poll where they ask if the presidential nominee for each party were incapacitated, who would you rather have running the country - Biden or Palin? I want me some Sarah Palin! Ever since she came on board, the republican party has really shown all those "celebrity worshipping" Obama followers, that you can't just vote for someone who's...a celebrity. Oh, and did you see the latest People and Us magazine photos of Palin? OMG - Fabulous!

How about a poll on hypocracy? ....Anyone? ....Bueller? ....Yeah, I thought not.
