OBAMA HEADS FOR FRANCE AFTER MAJOR BERLIN RALLY

BERLIN July 25, 2008 (AFP) - Public opinion polls in France mirror those elsewhere in Europe to show Obama is by far the candidate most people would like to see succeed President George W. Bush in the November elections.

Oh. Never mind.

POLL SHOWS FRENCH STAUNCHLY BEHIND KERRY

PARIS October 28, 2004 (AFP) - More than two out of three French would vote for John Kerry and only one in 10 for George W Bush in the US presidential election if they had the chance, according to an opinion poll published Thursday.

Take heart, Europa, Mr. Obama will be available for your elections after November 4. Vote all you want.

What is not apparent to self-fascinated Europa is that its phony self-congratulating Obamania (and here) is not a ringing endorsement to Americans. Americans will vote Mr. Obama up or down depending on the strength of his appeal to Americans. It is a long shot that any foreign endorsements will win him votes and more likely some will cost him votes.

Ah, thanks, but no thanks.
