Response to world outcry for Obama.
In the last 24-48 there has been a buzz as a new poll taken in other countries around the world shows a 48-12 favoring for Barack Obama as our next president with 40% of respondents showing no favor or no opinion . The claims are that the would is ready for Barack Obama and that if he is not elected world wide relations could be harmed.
There are a few things at play here though behind the scenes. Many of the countries in which the polls were run have strong ties with our enemies. Many of them tend to lean more to the left on government programs such as government run health care. Most of these countries are ones that suffered at the hands of white males through British rule for decades and have large populations of non whites who favor Barack Obama simply because of a perception that the American people are a bunch of racist white bigots.
Another factor is that a majority of the countries where the poll took place also have opposed the War on Terror or at least the war in Iraq, never sending troops or aid. These are mostly countries that stand to benefit should Baracks economic policy of tax them back to health follow the predictions of economist and put us further in the hole weakening the US dollar further. Many are also nations that export oil to the US and stand to benefit if domestic production is not increased, as our export of US dollar to them is the prime cause of our deficit.
Since when did foreign interest have a say in our American Presidency anyhow?
John McCain has some additional knocks in these nations as a majority of these respondent nations are still far behind on women’s rights. In some of these countries McCain has lost favor because he has chosen a woman for VP. The fact these nations were even polled is a result of the fact Obama is now lagging in our own US polls. As the article above also state, even though a large group of Americans have supported African American candidates in the polls, the actual voter turnout has been dismal to say the least in minority communities. The global fear is in history repeating itself and up to a 3rd of those saying I will vote for Obama will not show up at the polls.
Let’s look at policies that favor foreign interest to see where the largest support from overseas nations comes from.
Barack’s Energy policy is one that focuses on research for alternative fuels with no increase on drilling, or CNG. It favors the high prices on gas and oil as a scare tactic to get more Americans behind research and willing to pay more in taxes to get eventual relief that could be years to come. In the meantime we continue to send hundreds of billions of US doallrs to oil rich nations, some of which sponsor terrorism or harbor anti-American views.
John McCain promises immediate exploration and drilling, and support for CNG and bio fuels distribution to make us more independent from foreign oil and provide immediate relief at the pumps. This cuts off hundreds of billions of dollars that are being sent overseas and creates US jobs. McCain winning the election could hurt those nations financially and strengthen our dollar. McCain’s plan also funds research into alternative fuels but almost from day one will start weening us from foreign energy.
Import/Export relations. Barack Obama takes huge amounts of Union funds and donations and has all but promised the passage of a bill that will make it easier for Unions to set up shop in businesses around the nation. As this happens with no lessening of imports and an actual expansion of trading nations companies in the US will be forced to send even more jobs overseas via outsourcing to remain competitive.
Many of these nations in the poll such as India stand to gain heavily as the exodus of American jobs to foreign nationals continues. Countries such as Japan, China, and Korea stand to profit off a wider gap between the US cost to produce goods and their own low labor cost. Again, more dollars leak from the US economy into the hands of foreign interest.
The McCain plan calls for a lesser role by unions, more protection against high cost for businesses, tax incentives to hire US laborers, and tax breaks to lower the cost and penalties for doing business on US soil. It increases exports while balancing through tariffs the price of imports. This spells huge gains in jobs, and export trade and a boost to our GDP or gross domestic product. If more products are made here and the cost of selling goods on US shelves is higher then these same countries will see less demand for their products. As we begin buying American made goods again because the priceing gap is removed, these countries will lose jobs and income and another patch will be put in the deficit leak.
Many of the nations in the poll have at least some dealings with counties like Korea, and Iran even if they are through other governments that deal directly with them. They receive goods at lower cost or oil and energy resources. As the US continues to fight nuclear proliferation in these nations their exports are often limited or threatened. Obama is perceived as less apt to engage these enemy nations with military force, so they benefit from not risking their supplies being cut off if these countries do not abandon the quest for nuclear weapons.
So I ask again, what does America stand to gain by letting these countries have a say in our political process? Fact is a stronger and more independent America spells less import trade, less foreign oil purchasing, and fewer US dollars spent in other nations. It cuts off the incentive to outsource American jobs, and causes financial issues in many of these nations that depend on us. But the end result is a lower deficit and less dependence on foreign goods, oil included. What is good for America is seen as bad for the world wide economy.
They would love for us to elect a man that say change but provides plans that are business as usual. They would hate for us to elect John McCain, who’s promised changes, a type he has shown a track record of supporting for decades, and would cut them off from US dollars and create more jobs on US soil. A strong America is the enemy of the world economy as we are it’s largest victim and our deficit proves it.
