Poll: Obama wins European non-vote:

By Warner Todd Huston | June 12, 2008

CNN calls it serious news that a recent report about a Pew Research poll of "more than 24,000 people in 24 countries" shows that foreigners favor Barack Obama over John McCain for president.

Aside from the general "who cares" of it all, why is it news that people who wish the United States ill would pick the candidate most friendly to their interests to become our president? Shouldn't it be obvious that foreigners would want someone that favors their views to become the next president of the U.S.? After all, why would a foreigner want an American president that would strongly advocate for the United States when they themselves are not Americans? Naturally, they'd gravitate to the candidate that seems to represent what Europe wants and not the candidate that would strongly advocate for the U.S.A.

And on top of that, why the heck would an American care what a foreigner thinks about U.S. elections? Yet, in the headlined "Poll: Image of US will 'change for the better' with Obama," CNN acted as if this is important.
