The American presidential election (46)

This “Newsweek” article makes some good points about Barack Obama and Europe:

  1. Overwhelmingly Europeans want to see Obama returned to the White House.
  2. Europeans don’t have a vote in this election and any attempt to interfere will be unhelpful to Obama.
  3. Obama as President could well present some challenges to Europe – he will advance American interests which are not always European interests.

All this is as it should be. Obama would be good for the United States, good for Europe, and good for the world.
