90 percent of Europeans would vote for Obama: poll
Reuters ^ | October 31, 2012 | By Peter Schwartzstein, London

More than 90 percent of northern Europeans would vote for President Barack Obama if they were able to cast ballots in the United Sates' election next week because they see Mitt Romney as too right wing, British pollster YouGov said on Wednesday.

While U.S. polls show Obama and Romney are heading for a photo finish, European voters in seven northern European countries expressed overwhelming support for the Hawaiian-born 51-year-old White House incumbent.

Okay - these countries can send Bambi applications to be President. Maybe we can get him out of here even sooner.

That is why I don’t live there, and that is why they are “dying” countries.

Which is why we should have abandoned Europe to the Soviet Union after WWII. Which is why we should abandon NATO and not come to their rescue as Putin/Russia and/or the Muslims gobble them up.

Obama speaks in a language they can understand: “I know it’s scary out there, snookums. Let Daddy give you some free money.” :)

Europe is now mostly socialist, Communist, Islamic — and so is Obama. So this news item makes sense.

A retired Belgian that I helped to move here (Philippines),
just returned from a trip back home.
As with most Europeans, he seems quite sure that Obozo will
be reelected.
I commented that Europeans want Obama simply because they want America brought down to the low level of Europe.
