i said most. look, i dont need a study. i listened to the way people talk about things at work or while out and about. people are fucking stupid when it comes to politics for the most part.Varegg wrote:

That's true ... but most voters also have one or two core issues they consider before they cast their vote, would say it's very very seldom they vote because of a TV show alone ... with that said I don't know many that watch Oprah on a regular basis to know her political influence other than that she obviously supported Obama.usmarine wrote:

But then again generalizing 69 million voters because you hate Oprah and Obama doesn't give much credit to lowings statement ...

you have to generalize. why on earth would i believe a "study?" those same studies over the years said eggs were bad for you, then good, then bad, now good again. i cant meet and talk to 69 million people. i have to go off my own experiences. and i will take my experiences to the bank over some article in the bbc or whatever.Varegg wrote:

It's really not arrogance. We simply want him to make the right decision and not worry about the global popularity contest. Our president's job is to take care of the US, not keep the rest of the world happy.AussieReaper wrote:

A source? How about the fact that we are a celeberityworshipping culture, you get on TV you are a celebrity automatically. We made William Hung famous. How is that for evidence.Varegg wrote:

I fully understand most people base their believes on the other people they meet and talk to and I'm not saying those believes are automatically wrong but they can be ... you have to seek information elsewhere to either verify those belives or sometimes they must be altered or discarded entirely ...usmarine wrote:

To sum it up ... one source is never enough, think we have seen enough copy and paste debatees to establish that ...

The rest of the world want him to make the right decision too, by them. It's got nothing at all to do with popularity, that comes after the fact.Stingray24 wrote:

But it is arrogance when you don't give a fuck what the rest of the world thinks and expect to only use world opinion when it suits you.

i dont know anyone who does that either. just because you guys are obsessed with us, doesnt mean we are obsessed with you.AussieReaper wrote:

Well luckily you now have a US President who is a little more obsessed with world opinion.usmarine wrote:

I guess we simply disagree. I want my president to take care of our own interests whether or not anyone else in the world likes it. If you want your leader to put an ear out to the rest of the world before making a decision, by all means. Don't complain afterward when everyone likes you but the decision was more more advantageous to them than you.AussieReaper wrote:

You know what they want, they not only want their govt. to take care of them, they expect the US govt. to do the same. How dare the US govt. not go along with the wishes of the European and Australian citizenry. Of course with Obama they got their wish.Stingray24 wrote:

What Venezuela wants to do with their presidency is no concern to me. Granted, if I were Venezuelan, I'd support creating more term limits, not removing them.
Hell, we need more term limits here.
