He of course says he is just a private citizen, but the fawning and adulation of the left wing in Europe, makes it quite clear that they expect and want him as the next US President. They can barely contain their glee but forget a few salient points which of course I am happy to remind them of:
- If he's half black, then he's half white as well .... so why does that make him a black man?
- It's the US voters, not a bunch of left wing, liberal bleeding heart halfwits in Germany, France and the UK, who will decide who is the next US President. They may yet decide that John McCain should be the US President..... the secrecy of the ballot box allows for many a private opinion to be exercised.
- He's an American Presidential Candidate, not a European PM .... he defends US business, US jobs, US interests and US power .... not some "Black" ideal foisted upon him by non US politico's.
- Finally, he like all US politicians is to the right of European politicians, and certainly doesn't represent any views that the left wing in Europe would necessarily standby.
To prove my point, I am considered fairly right wing but when I took a "Test your polices" check on the web against US presidential politics I barely made Mrs Clinton! .... I mean that I was at best a very weak democrat, so if I had been a Euro leftie I wouldn't have even managed to register as a democrat, because their policies are too right wing!
Unfortunately the website is now removed (It was one of the lesser Democrats) but it was very good and illustrated very starkly the huge difference between US and European politics, even for a 'righty' like me.
A gulf that the left wing just never seem to notice until after the 'liberal' takes office.
