It is related to the dangling follow-up question - why do they think Obama will be good for America? Then - Is what is good for America, good for them?

Yes we all know I am full of flaws. We all know I am arrogant, and that I pretty much don't care when people point them out. But, on the other hand taking a shot at me, makes it easier to ignore the point I made. I accept that too.

But, to go ahead and bite on your little theory: You really think the Taliban are over there rubbing their hands in glee that we're following their fiendishly cunning suggestion of electing Obama? This isn't a grade school playground, dude.

I did not bring up the Taliban, but something as simple as European nations wanting us to stop using coal to minimize greenhouse emissions and knowing the positions of the two candidates, this indicates that their interests may not be in line with ours. If Obama's plan is to bankrupt coal producing power plants, when we don't have an alternative source in place, i.e., nuclear like Europe, indicates having their favor may be very costly and harmful to our nation in many ways. So, Europeans may love Obama for saying "no" to coal, but I am more interested in a good transitional plan that may not get us there as soon as some would like.
