Here is a "outside of the US" perspective.

The rest of the world thinks you guys are too conservative to put a Black Dude or a Chick in power so McCain is a shoe in. Anyways, if Obama got in someone will just shoot him. Bit of a no win for him really.

Absolutely no disrespect intended. Just the way we see it from the outside.

PS: Your political system is beyond the comprehension of everyone. How on earth does it work?

How on earth does it work?

Strangely at times, but for the most part effectively.

Sometimes not that well, but only because it has been bastardized over the years.
Jeff, obviously you haven't been properly schooled in political correctness, you can't say those sort of things about an African American candidate. BTW don't jump on me as a racist, there are several Black Americans I think would make a great president, just not BO.
God help our gun rights if someone does attempt to kill him if he is elected. I would think that the Secret Service wouldn't let him out of the White House. For those outside the US, all serious Presidential Candidates get Secret Service Protection, and IIRC they even picked it up early on Obama.
I don't particularly agree with Obama's politics but no one should be killed for their beliefs. Hopefully the differences keep the system honest, although I sure have my doubts.

PS No disrespect taken, after all we were all British Colonies at one time. Just a little family disagreement. The damned tea was too high is all.

We have the same sense of wonder about the Parlamentary system and that whole Royalty thing. :mrgreen:

I've worried that Obama may be at higher risk than others for assassination attempts, but I'd never say that in public, especially after the flak that Hillary caught for remembering that Robert Kennedy was shot in June. I hope that doesn't happen; Lord knows it would give us a terrible fight for our remaining gun rights! Pray for Obama's safety!

[JeffinNZ]

Political correctness. HHHMMM. Me thinks they are mutually exclusive terms. [smilie=1:

Oh I concur on the whole Obama safety thing. The guy is just doing his 'job'. Whether you agree of not he should be safe but history tells us.....................

Actually, recently I had a friend from Alaska here hunting and it was really nice to be able to speak frankly with someone from the US regarding your politics etc and get a better understanding. We kinda feel that WE should be allowed to vote in the US elections as everytime the US 'sneezes' our economy catches a 'cold'.

We are hardly a British colony anymore down here. We are far to crass to the old country now. "Those feral antipodean folk" we are referred to as. Such is life.

Hillary would be the most likely to do it. Pardon the expression but she'd kill two birds with one stone....

Jeff,

I have oft times told many of the younger men, to bail this sinking ship we call America and head to the land of the Kiwi's. I know that if I were younger, and know what I know now, I would have sold the Family Farm right out of college, never got married, and moved to New Zealand. I went to college with a gal from there and she damn near convinced me to move there. We never dated or anything, nothing romantic, just good friends, now I wish I would have listened to her. Back in the late 80's when Beth was after me to move, the exchange rate would have been in my favour and I could have bought a thousand or more acres and had money to spare. The best thing about it, if I had moved, is that I would not be sitting here putting up with all of this political BS on my tele and radio.

Best Wishes from the Boer Ranch,

Joe
