Does Anybody Have Any News About How The Rest of the World is Reacting to the Election?

[smirkymonkey]

I am very curious as to the reactions abroud. Anybody?

[SleeplessinSoCal]

1. News accounts in the wee hours after the returns were counted showed jubilation

Congrats came in from leaders as well. You can probably find them on-line.

[stevenleser]

2. All my friends in the UK texted me with a "Thank God" sentiment.

Pretty much everyone I know around the world said the same.

[smirkymonkey]

4. I would think the world would do a sigh of relief not to have Romney as President.

I would like to know from our friends abrod how they see the election results. Thanks for your input!

3. All I know is they were holding there collective breath for

Obama.

5. Here in Australia we're too busy hunkering down waiting for the invasion of Republican sore losers!

Everyone I knew was pretty happy Obama got back in. Romney was such a drooling, evil dimwit that he made Dubya look semi-rational...

...the locals he knows love Obama and were eager to see him reelected.

[smirkymonkey]

28. Yes! Good to know! I love Argentinians.

I work for one. He's great!

[PA Democrat]

8. I'll bet they are appalled at the long lines people endured to vote.

That is just SHAMEFUL.

10. Mr. beac and I got several emails of congratulations and thanks from

our Italian friends.

(They had been as terrified as we were about a potential Romney presidency.)

[smirkymonkey]

24. As someone who is part Italian, I am very happy that they are supporting our victory!

Viva Italia!

[jal777]

11. UK I believe is celebrating also

[smirkymonkey]

25. I love Europe. I wish you could all vote in our elections. We would have a

Democratic President, Senate and HOUSE!

[GliderGuider]

12. Here in Canada

We're all breathing a huge sign of relief. But we're too polite to tell you.

[theKed]

16. We're also

working pretty hard on that wall to keep out all those unwanted freepers that swore to move to Canada if Obama won again. better safe than sorry, eh?

[smirkymonkey]

23. No, Please. Tell us! We want to hear it!

[Whisp]

26. I guess I'm not Canadian then.

my ma must of adopted me because I often neglect that polite thing.

[defacto7]

14. In Germany and the Netherlands

people I know finally stopped laughing at Romney. Now they are saying, "hmmm, maybe the US has balls after all." or the like..

[smirkymonkey]

20. Good to know. Thanks!

[ballabosh]

15. A friend of mine in Calcutta

was following it with a bunch of people. When I told him Ohio had been called for Obama he posted, "Yessssss!"

He had thought that if Ohio and Florida split between the candidates, it would go down to the wire. I had to tell him that if Obama won either one, it was game over. As it is he won both.

So, so much for our lower standing in the world under Obama.

[smirkymonkey]

21. Thanks for your input! I appreciate it!

Gives me hope that we are one with the rest of the world.

17. Pakistan (sp) was very unhappy...all the rest were happy

[Bjornsdotter]

18. Sweden

[smirkymonkey]

22. Thank you Sweden!

[LynnTheDem]

19. very happy...and still laughing our asses off over that dumb chick...

...who's moving to Aussie coz of their 'Christian male president".

We assume she is unaware of the fact that Australia has an athiest female prime minister.

Oh, and that she's a rightwingnut, stupidest MFers on the planet.
