Worldwide Reactions to the U.S. Election

Crazy stuff. I'm actually excited to see what happens in the next year. Our economy has tanked, but at least the world likes us again.

A lot of my fellow Americans don`t care what the world thinks about us but I do and I hope Obama will help erase some of the damage Bush has done to our reputation.

`...but at least the world likes us again.`

Don`t be so sure about that.
You may have a new president but you are still seppos.
That will never change.

^ How many times have you typed "seppo" on this site? Seriously, come up with fresh insults. It gives us something to laugh about and not at.

As a non American i stayed up all night to watch the election results. Even if you think Obama will be little different to Bush it was a great thing to watch.
So many people came out to vote and get involved, so many people genuinely cared about the outcome. It was an excellent snap shot of democracy in action. I was vaguely tempted to start yelling `USA..USA`!
That so many voted against the republicans shows to the rest of the world that most American citizens are as appauled with what the government has been doing as everyone else. It destroys the American stereotype of fat lazy religious hicks obssessed with keeping their guns and ignorant to the rest of the world, a stereotype George Bush strongly represented.

It also becomes much harder for jihadis to demonise the US as the Land of the Great Satan when it is led by a man whose middle name is Hussein, and who has relatives who are practising Muslims.

Unfortunately Obama comes into office at a very very bad time for America and faces some of the biggest problems any new president has had to face. He will not be able to solve any of them quickly, I just hope people have patience and that he is up for the job.

In conclusion, well done America you kicked ass!!

Notice the first guy in Baghdad is hopefully expecting the U.S. to finish the job in Iraq, and do a better job...and the second guy is probably going to do okay no matter who "his manager" is.

EckJerome: Australian version of "American". The idea is Americans talk or are full of shit. Comes from rhyming the slang term Yank = septic tank = "seppo" in the shortened form. Common in Queensland.

On a side note, I hope you are feeling better.

^ Chemo sucked...and it didn`t work. Still recovering from that. I have a new fast-growing tumor in my back. Joy. Now I have a cold and I`m passing a kidney stone.

Better is relative, I`ve been worse.

No real symptoms from the cancer though...wonder how long that will last? I`ve checked some actual research into alternatives, instead of just claims of miracle cures. Cannibinoids are only being researched on mice (in America anyway), and the results are mixed (and not promising) with my brand of cancer. If anybody knows of human research in Europe or elsewhere, pass it on. My flavor is adenocarcinoma non-small cell lung cancer...which they`ve had little luck with.

Seppos, heh. Yeah, a lot of us are full of shit. In America and beyond; I dare to call it a universal phenomenon. But there`s still a lot of variety at the individual level.

Sometimes folks spew shit just because it feels good. Other times, they get tired of the smell.

Now, lessee...Aussie rhymes with pussy. Does that make Omeko a Paussie?

Typical Left-Right two-party system of the Council On Foreign Relations.

Let us see if he can overcome the money manipulators behind his throne.

I`m from Britain and I stayed up to follow the election. I also hope Obama will bring the needed change. No offence to America, but your government have spent the past 8 years being schoolground bullies. Nobody like`s or trusts Bush. Well, except the hardcore extreme right rednecks... I mean republicans. Sorry.
