This is an interesting series on foreign opinion of US Presidential election politics--

Egyptian post revolution view--
Post-revolution Cairo casts cynical eye on race to White House - CNN.com
French view--
Parisians marvel at spectacle of U.S. election race - CNN.com
The Egyptian post is quite revealing...

"Egyptians are viewing the 2012 elections with a certain amount of cynicism. All of the superficial reasons why Egyptians admired Obama have melted away, and what is left in some corners is a feeling that he wasn't as quick to embrace our push for freedom as he could have been."

They were also very complimentary of Bush, which is of no surprise. The hate Bush campaign continues here but not as much in foreign countries. They are now beginning to understand (BEFORE THIS COUNTRY) that Obama is about WORDS !!!
