Why our leaders wish Obama only bad luck
According to opinion polls and word on the streets, if the November US presidential elections were to be decided by non-Americans, Democratic Party candidate Barack Obama would beat the Republican's John McCain with about 90 per cent of the vote.Obama's popularity abroad, and indeed in the US, is almost dizzying. However if the elections were left to African presidents to decide, McCain could probably beat Obama with 90 per cent of the vote. This might be surprising, given that Obama is not only an African-American, but his father was a Kenyan chap who went to the USA as a fellowship student - and like every conflicted African abroad, abandoned his American family and came home to find for himself a strong-backed local girl.
