Overseas reaction to Obama
 

I noticed that quite a few of yall are from outside the US. I would like to know what people in other countries thinbk about Obamas election as US presdident and why the reactions seem to be so strong.

We, in Romania are quite happy that he won :)

Wait and see what comes of it, for the rest: couldn't care less.

i'm thankful that your getting a competent president now.

Obama's a very charismatic person. We have yet to see if he's actually competent.

Vote Teddy Roosevelt.

Oversea?

Hell, I'm from North America and I could not care less... :p

In Italy, the majority is happy about Obama... personally, I cannot have so much faith in politicians...

Amazingly, we've all been too wrapped up in our own election recently, where (I hope) we have a competent Prime Minister. However, there were a few days gap, and I think that most people here (in New Zealand :p) were happy to see a change.

I'll come back at you on this within a couple of months. It's definitely a good start, but there's nothing done yet. But I already said something similair in the other topic.
