And looking at the values republicans have and the amount of extremists, fundamentalists etc. in the party I definitely wouldn't want one here to replace the current US ambassador in Finland who's pineappleing awesome as a person. Also, what I don't get is why Obama is blamed for not fixing the mess Bush made or for "not changing enough" when, as far as I know, republicans voted against the changes Obama tried to make. They wanted change and now when "change" didn't happen they vote against the "change".
These are my few cents as a foreign person. Many Americans probably underline different issues and that's okay. I actually voted a party with more republican views on economy but you can't really compare because Finland is an abundantly socialist country.
Biggest problem I see with US is the two-party system. Finland has 8 parties in the parliament and I still can't find one that I could honestly say I like. If we only had two, I don't even know if I would bother voting.
G.W.Bush was never meant to be a wartime president. No one was expecting a damn war to break out until an act of terrorism happened.
I'm pretty much in the median here. I dislike both, but having to pick one it'd be Romney. In all honesty, this country is heading to the shitter, it's just going to be the one who takes the slower or the fastest route.
