You should be with us in 2012, join now: my.barackobama.com/londonvid Barack Obama delivered remarks before a press avail at the Prime Minister's residence in London, the famed 10 Downing Street.
It was great to him in London. The crowds were truly excited and my voice is hoarse this morning from shouting out his name. Please God he wins - we need a new America. Kevin (Irish) in London.
um, first of all, the fuel crisis will not blow over in a few years, gas prices will continue to increase unless production is increased or an alternate source is found. Now, since its going to be awhile before we can use something else, we should be increasing output.
I am an American. I agree with what you said. Please remember that our current President has not followed the will of the American people. Please do not judge us by his actions.
It's probably a little of both, actually... but it's just because the first thing we think of when someone say "UK" is "England" or "Great Britain". Not that the rest are left out but you just aren't well known to us..
Took the words right out of my mouth. We'll have to have second best with Obama as president of the US instead. I think Obama has to continue to make the right noises on Iraq, for purely practical and political reasons - no one can make it go away, and he shouldn't want to polarise voters towards McCain. To me voting in Obama is a no-brainer. If Americans pass up this opportunity to have an impressive leader, the rest of us will be really shaking our heads.
I wouldn't say we love him, I personally think Gravel was pretty cool. The Brits don't tend to take much notice of American politics; as long as Bush fucks off. :-p This guy seems pretty cool, he's got charisma :-)
And from a Brit, thanks for your friendship too! They call them Terraced houses over here and are usually the cheapest type of housing, although No 10 Downing St would set you back a few million bucks. As for Obama, I hope he wins - the US deserves an intelligent and balanced leader. Could he be the next JFK?
Anish, by touring the world Obama IS focusing on the US Presidency. McCain keeps saying that he has no foreign policy experience, so Americans are very interested in how Obama fairs internationally, get it? :-)
Absolutely agree with your call. Obama/Biden - the perfect pair. The UK has a deep respect for Joe Biden, possibly the best president you'll never have. He'd make a fantastic VP tho!
Neither Terrorism nor "Climate Change" are the biggest problems facing the world today. It's poverty, disease, famine and genocide. If you're talking about the biggest problems facing the US, then it's probably gun crime which has claimed tens of thousands more lives than 9/11 or the London bombings. Terrorism and "Climate Change" however are the 2 most interesting and therefore publicismed problems the world faces... Barack '08!
before; people was saying shit to him. and later; when they knew for sure that he's becoming the president; the same people changed 180 degree. those people r so damn cowards and hypocrites. peace to all.
Why do the candidates have to travel so much? but without a doubt Senator Obama looks like a PRESIDENT and God's willing will become the best president America has ever had OBAMA ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE
Why do Americans always say "Great Britain" instead of the United Kingdom? Are they specifically excluding Northern Ireland and referring just to England, Scotland & Wales? Or are they referring to the geographic term for the island? Or do they really mean to say the United Kingdom - the name of our sovereign nation?
Y'know, the US is not a democracy, and the electoral college just might give move weight to global opinion than that of their domestic population, which we all hope they do, because we the citizens of the world believe that globalism as a philosophy is superior to the archaic concept of national sovereignty.
If the americans dont elect this man into officer then there is something seriously wrong in the world. McCain will end up as President Bush v2 and thats the last thing we need, The world needs a change and That will not happen with McCain in office. Victory to Obama!

No teleprompter. No paper notes. Coherent. Artiqulate. Obviousll very aware of issues pertinent to world affairs.

Sen. Obama has conducted himself with poise and thoughtfulness throughout this world trip.
um, first of all, the fuel crisis will not blow over in a few years, gas prices will continue to increase unless production is increased or an alternate source is found. Now, since its going to be awhile before we can use something else, we should be increasing output.
