What a good thing it is, then, that the rest of the world can’t vote in our elections (though Obama is certainly making it easier for the rest of the world to contribute to his reelection campaign, in defiance of US election law).

When the rest of the world is ready to hear my opinion about who should lead their respective countries I'll listen to what they have to say.

Until then, go p*ss up a robe, world.

“The rest of the world” does not reside in nations founded on Christianity; they don’t get it. It’s not their fault, but they don’t have the potential to understand America and the idea of America.

I don’t think the AC is a sitting US Prez because of the Scripture - but fwiw, lot of odd stuff surrounding this guy. Weird - just follow the links.

I can’t link directly to the lottery results so you have to select 2008. Just odd stuff.

I think this is just marvelous, it is WONDERFUL, it is beyond description. I think France needs to allow Barak Obama to run for the position of President/Prime Minister of France. He wouldn’t need to prove he was born in France, of course,.... Why he could even be the 1st BLACK European Minister, and show the world that they aren’t racist. I think this is a great idea. I’d certainly think Michelle would help the perfume, fashion industry in Paris. Go for it. He wouldn’t be unemployed after Jan,. 2013..

Of course they do. They dream of a weakened America who is their equal and not their superior. They wish America to be weak and powerless, that is until some other country comes along and starts kicking their butts around the block. Then they come crying to America and wanting us to be strong.

Europe and the rest of the world are all a bunch of sissy punks who only wish to take our strength away so they can feel strong themselves.

FU Eurotrash.

Nope . . . Daniel makes it clear that the Beast comes from the fourth empire illustrated by the feet and toes in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. The USA is not nor will become part of that empire.

Either way, 1 John 2:18 does speak of “many Antichrists”, and anyone who openly fights against God does come to a sticky end.

What really sticks in their craw is that Americans have the God-given right to keep and bear arms and they don’t. They wish they did, but they can’t because of the socialists they keep electing for the freebies, so they pretend they don’t want the right anyhow. They chose cradle-to-grave “security” over their rights, now they have to live with it and try to defend their choice.

Agreed.

And Daniel also tells us the “prince who is to come” (the Antichrist) must be of the people who destroy the city and the sanctuary (Jerusalem and 2nd Temple).

That was the Romans in 70 A.D. sacking Jerusalem and the 2nd Temple was destroyed in the process.

They definitely don’t want the US to be their equal, because that means someone that possesses at least sufficient power to hamper their agenda rather than laying down and allowing them to pursue it until it ends up turning the earth into a mass grave.

At least one of my neighbors agrees - just checked the mail and was almost surprised my Romney/Ryan sign is still intact. Then noticed a can of Dr. Pepper and picked it up as trash. Funny thing about it - one edge was crushed and the pop lid had opened a crack, but not with the tab, and most of the soda was still in it - looks like someone took a shot at my sign and missed. I would like to think it was their last can of soda and that they were really upset for wasting it and missing my sign...

Instead of just typically remarking that the rest of the world does not vote for the US president, I think that this means that these foreign *people* are disrespecting America.

The proper response is for president Romney to reduce aid and cooperation to the *peoples* of these nations concomitant to how much they disrespect us.

Typically, when we are annoyed at some other country, we state that we are annoyed with their government, not their people. But in this case, while we might get along with their government, there is no reason to be generous to a people that clearly disrespect us.

For example, France has long sneered at America and hoped for its demise as a superpower. So let’s see how the French people handle their own problems without our help when their economy self-destructs.

Maybe American mothers *should* go back to telling their children to eat their vegetables, “because there are starving children in France.”

“But why don’t we give our vegetables to France?”

“We used to, but they were so nasty about it that we stopped.”

Irony that the US is comprised of descendants of immigrants from all over the world - who left their home countries to find a better life.

Their preference for BO is a form of jealousy. Like the step-sister who sets you up for a date with an ugly jerk.

Re: BBC recent poll favoring
Barack Hussein Obama

Dear Beeb or Beebers,

We, the citizens of the United States of America, are delighted to learn of the continuing admiration, nay, adulation of the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C., as cited in the recent survey.

By a felicitous confluence of circumstances we find ourselves in a position to satisfy these international longings for Barack Hussein Obama. The term of his lease will expire January 2013 causing us great concern and distress regarding his future domicile and finding an appropriate arena for one of his stellar talents. Your longings and our concerns satisfied by a single stroke. Oh frabjuous day!

We would joyfully provide transport for BHO and family to any destination in Europe deemed appropriate. Bruxelles, Paris, Madrid, or Athens are all acceptable. Consider Athens as the arrival point as we know of his fondness for classical Greek architecture. Surrounded by real marble columns his earlier disappointment with the paltry styrofoam columns we provided might be assuaged.
The gratifying and overwhelming response of the French indicate that BHO might be most welcome there. Ollande and Obama has a nice alliterative ring don’t you think? Socialism, fraternite, egalite will ring loud and proud in Place Pigalle once more. That liberte business best forgotten, eh?

We so look forward to his send off, anticipating historic crowds tearfully viewing his departure.

Some questions have been raised regarding his travel documents. They seem to have been misplaced. Our media however will vouch for him unanimously. But then you europeans have centuries of dealing former heads of state.

Just one caveat, this is strictly a one way deal, an as is sale, no refunds, and most adamantly no return.

Looking forward to closing the deal,

FreeRepublic
