Here is the first post by John Moody, Executive VP of Fox News:
“The world’s verdict will be harsh if the US rejects the man it yearns for.”
I had to read this headline in The Guardian, a British left-wing newspaper, twice, to make sure I wasn’t misinterpreting it. But sure enough, there was columnist Jonathan Freedland telling Americans how to vote. He said that, since Gov. Sarah Palin’s nomination at the GOP candidate for vice president, he felt at first “pessimistic.” That, he informs us, was quickly replaced by indignation as he saw that… people liked her!
Another fine America-hating British institution, the BBC, paid for a poll of 22,000 non-Americans to ask them who they wanted to be president. Guess what? Nearly one in two prefers Barack Obama. Only one in five wanted John McCain. That leaves 30% who had the right answer: they don’t know who should be president of our –- not their –- country.
Four years ago, a British writer made more news than he intended when he said that U.S. elections should be open to citizens of the whole world, since Americans had shown they weren’t smart enough to pick the right candidate.
Here’s a news flash: we don’t mind hearing what you think. But we still decide who will run our country. Not happy about that? Bit of hard luck.
I felt this post hit the spot. Bullseye. Whether foreigners want Obama or McCain, the bottom line is that they can't vote. It's our country. I also find it funny that the Brits want to take part in our election. In 1776, we broke away from them, now they want to join us?
