I found an article talking about the effects a Romney win would have on America and the World.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/economics-blog/2012/nov/02/world-wants-obama-win-us-election

Summary of the article

The articlwe pretty much talks about the potential effects of a Romney win could have on the World and the US and why people in other places of the wqorld want Obama to win.

Good excerpt from article

While Bush is not on the ballot, Romney has not really distanced himself from the Bush administration's policies. On the contrary, his campaign has featured the same advisers, the same devotion to higher military spending, the same belief that tax cuts for the rich are the solution to every economic problem, and the same fuzzy budget maths.


I kinda like romney, but I don't like his flip-flopping or the people in his party.Can't wait for the election on Tuesday anyway.

Can you blame them? Thousands of citizens in their country have been murdered by drone strikes under the Obama administration. Also, I think a much more interesting graph would be one that includes an option for neither candidate.

Its not like romney is going to stop them

I agree, but why would they support the incumbent consider what he has done to their country?

Because the Republicans have shown that they are usually more Pro-War then the Democrats. So if anything it will probably be worse for Pakistan if Romney won/

In terms of economic yes, but in terms of foreign policy a tiny bit.

If I was a citizen of Pakistan, I'd refuse to support either of them considering they BOTH want to drone strike my country. I guess I'd choose Obama as at least he doesn't want more drones.

Other way around I'd say. On foreign policy, and that's the kind of the thing "the world" cares about, they are absolutely the same. Barry has done a good job of turning Dubya's mess up a notch or two. A republican's wet dream in faux liberal clothing. Drone strikes. War mongering. Assassination of an American citizen without a trial. Indefinite detainment. Guantanom bay. Patriot act. Just like Bush would've done. Just like Mitt will do. People are always told that problems should be dealt with at the root. That doesn't mean changing the actor. You replace the director.

If people in the ME really support Barry that's insane and shows how powerful the media agitprop machine is. He's been a massive f*cking villain to them. Drones and drones and drones and death. But thank god he's not a Republican! Let's support him! Can I please cry

I would posit that they are more similar on foreign policy than economic policy. The debate p. much showed that the primary difference is that Romney would say the same things that Obama says louder, and, allegedly, sooner.

Based on the fact that most of those countries have it at like 40% - 10%, I'm guessing that one did.

I love how every country on the graph is overwhelmingly for Obama, except for Pakistan, and the dead-locked US. Hmm.

dafuq?

Romney wants higher miltary spending,tax cuts for the rich and poor(maybe), less government control that is structured and wants to cut things like FEMA.Obama wants bigger government,may cut spending,less miltary spending etc.

When you have to cite a Republican caucus held back in February that was held in a tiny liberal state as proof of your candidate being relevant, I think that's a pretty good sign of your candidate being mostly irrelevant.
