It is their media, you wouldn't believe how much play we get overseas and most of it is complete BS for their socialist audiences.

Why do you care what other people think of USA? Concentrate on your own country and your own problems

daneblazer · 03-03-16, 06:58 PM

The greatness of America is about to be made.

Many view the president of the United States as the leader of the free world. And things the U.S. does has an impact on the rest of the world as well.

The campaign trail weakens all who travel down its twisted path.

Other countries do not have 20 debates and spend money on negative advertising to pick a dumbfukk for a candidate. Other countries do not spend 2.5 years every 4 years campaigning. And our media promotes this by having it on TV 24/7.

lakerboy · 03-03-16, 09:49 PM

Better question is why america cares so much about everyone else's problems?

Jayvegas420 · 03-03-16, 10:00 PM

We're attempting to protect and build our interests while seeking favorable results in furthering the agenda.

Doesn't matter.....why don't they concentrate on their own problems in their own country.

A train wreck is hard not to watch!

Plus we don't have any problems down here. No guns, good healthcare, shark nets around the beaches. Lifes good no matter which party is in so politics is boring and the ~~lemmings~~ people don't need to get all polarized and abuse the other side's supporters incessantly every election cycle.

But seriously, you just named the USA's three closest allies... do you really wonder why we would care who is going to be calling the shots next?

LordVodka · 03-03-16, 10:54 PM

They blame the woes of their country on the US and a lot of the times their politicians will lie to them and tell them the evil US is to blame for the shape of their country.

DwightShrute · 03-03-16, 11:10 PM

American politics affects most of the world in different degrees, like it or not. Some more than others. Including those traveling abroad. Get over it.

You might be thinking of a Middle Eastern country. Can't speak for Canucks and Limeys, but I can't recall a mainstream politician ever calling the USA evil in my lifetime.

Would make little sense for them to when there is bipartisan agreement about FTAs and us rushing to jump into any conflict the US wants us in etc.

You're missing the point.
And displaying your ignorance.
Re-read opti's post if you need to but, it doesn't sound like you know what you're talking about.

Pavy hit the nail on the head. The political process has become so long, drawn out & televised that you can't be surprised that The Aprentice is winning.
