Europeans, do you follow or care about the USA presidential election?

200,000 people showed up to see Obama in Germany, Why?
I know people over there hate Bush (no explanation needed) but why the interest in US politicians?

dude, awesome pic. the big lebowski rules!

[angil]

I do. I used to live in the USA so i guess that might be part of the reason. plus, theres so much drama about it on TV and stuff so we get curious.

[faceboy]

In my country I don't think people care too much about that

I don't really care who gets elected but ofc it would be nice to see a black president. Papers write about the election and it's in the news all over the internet so it's hard to not care about it.

(Laughs) "It'll be quite entertaining to see which one they choose. From what I hear, neither are very good choices; and this folks, is what makes a democracy so unethical."

because people are interested in american politics they want to be apart of this years elections. they are tired of the bumbiling bush.

It seems in USA if you like McCain and Palin, you are considered prejudiced

Easy answer, almost all European countries are members of NATO, required to support USA which is their ally. Normally, they wouldn't say no, if the USA were under attack I'm sure all European countries would be on USA's side, but when the USA starts oil wars for the profit of a few super rich gwb's buddies, that is hard to digest. So the Europeans would like to see USA having a peaceful president, who doens't send USA and allied soldier to die for nothing.
