I’m new to this comments page, so let me give you a quick a bio before we engage. Just so you know where I stand..such as it is. I’m 43 years old US citizen, living and working in London. In investment banking. I’ve earned enough here in the last decade to buy and sell 2 properties. I love my country and vote with an absentee ballot in all major elections. I’m a North Carolinian with parents, grandparents, uncles, 2 aunts and a grandmother who served, and continue to serve in the US Armed Force. Dad: Airforce in Korea and Vietnam. Stepfather and three uncles in the Army. All fought in the Vietnam conflict. Only two returned. 2 Aunts in Army services, 1 for twelve years, recently retired. 1 currently. I love my country… I love my leaders. Even Bush, when he dances! No, just joking. Even as I see him suffering now, bad ratings and negative polls, I still feel a deep sense of protective endearment for him. He’s my president! The least we could do is show him reverence for the office. It hard… BLOODY HARD… to defend him from afar, cause as you know… he’s hated around the world. Particularly in Europe. But I do. I defend him to the core of my being, cause when you’re abroad… all you got is your country! Being an American in Europe has enhanced my success enormously! But I’ve got to say this… no matter what your party affiliations… Obama is the best thing we got going right now. Put him in, and we’ll own the world. Everyone will want to be a part of us.Investment, which we sorely need, will pour through. Goodwill will wash over us like a baptism. 5 years from now we’ll be best friends with Africa (where all the new oil deposits (huge) are. We’ll be greater than ever! Without the bloodshed. Everyone wants to believe in us as the saviors of the world. We’re just too scared to believe in ourselves. As an American living outside the mainland, I’ve a special insight. Everyone thinks we’re sinking. Many are relishing in our supposed demise. I say lets show them. I say… LET’S PUT OUT BEST MAN FORWARD, REGARDLESS OF HIS COLOUR. LET’S CONTROL THE FUTURE WITH OUR OBVIOUSNESS. WHO’S BETTER! WHO’S BEST!
