I can only imagine that some of you are getting sick of my political blog entries, so stop reading this one now if you are.
As an international student in Aberdeen I am mingling with a lot of other international students from all over the world: Kenya, Canada, Malaysia, Nigeria, India, Italy, France, Germany, Sweden, the list goes on. Of the few who I have briefly talked US politics with agree that we have to elect Barack Obama. He's good for the US, he's good for the world.
Believe it or not, there are still non-US citizen's who think the US is an amazing place, full of opportunity and the American dream. But still they do not think that McCain is going to help preserve this.
Now many of you might be thinking, why does it matter what the internationals think? Despite the ignorance of foreign politics by average US citizens. Other countries actually follow our politics quite readily because what we do affects them. Can you believe it? The choice of the US president actually affects the WORLD political scene? Well it does! And, although, the average US citizen might not even know that our sister country, Canada, is also having elections and those elections have also been quiet uproarious.
I leave you with this thought:
Expand your horizons, your decision affects the world. Pick who's good for the world. Obama.
