“Many cases show what a mess the world is in right now as a consequence of action and inaction by the U.S. _ the Iraq war and angry Muslims; no Kyoto Protocols and global warming; U.S. foot-dragging and North Korean possession of nuclear bombs; and U.S. beef and candlelit vigils, to name but a few.”

The second to last point, Nork nukes, absolutely unde-fuckin-fiable display of Klogic at work. I am no Bush supporter (I’m an Aussie/Brit who was leaning towards Ron Paul, actually) but I would highlight the six party talks and the Bush administration’s willingness to engage that rotten regime as one of the triumphs of his tenure. What’s more, Young-jin should thank 대통 Bush-ee that his/her country is not a pile of smoking nuclear crap.

Obama is a fraud. Figures KT would support him.

I’m a dyed-in-the-wool Guardian reader, and even I remember cringing in horror at the Clark County thing. How they ever thought that would work is beyond me.

“Hello, I’m a person you’ve never met, from a country you’ve probably never been to. I have somehow come to the belief that I have the moral authority to tell you who to vote for…”

And I’m, in a lot of ways, a socialist.

#10: Being more of an Obama man, I rather hope the Grundy has learned its lesson.
I know the differences are legion, but one thing that struck me about that episode was its parallels with American attempts to promote democracy in the Middle East. That is, just as the endorsement of cappuccino-quaffing Guardianistas can spell doom for the likes of John Kerry in the US heartland, American support can actually be a handicap to pro-democracy movements in Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, etc.

Obama would be really really bad for Korea.
Obama and expats in Korea fit like hand and glove because Obama advocates everything what the expats here have advocated - complete disengagement from and no trade with South Korea. There you go, here’s your chance to get what you all wish for. Vote for the liberals.

I read the entire article, and came away impressed with this reporter’s ability to write about American and global politics. Well done, Mr? Oh Young-Jin, and I shall consider what you wrote carefully.

#9: Let’s hope the Grauniad expands their campaign this time and newspapers around the globe join the bandwagon.

#7 to add to your points, it was The Republicans who freed the slaves, not the Dems.

Reminds me of this master stroke by The Guardian during the 2004 presidential election:

Obama likes to talk of his brothers and sisters across the globe.

If you look at it in a bad way,

it means his father was had the mind of a male prostitute, sleeping with and marrying anyone he wanted to.

His mother married several times as well.

I mean, you ever heard of the parallel tales about Kim Dae Jung and Roh Moo Hyun, how their Moms had several different guys porking them, so as to be unsure of their paternities? (It might be a huge Kyong Sang Do myth)

No one talks about these things.

This is America.

I don’t care about all that shit, as long as the war’s ending, and with all that money laying around,

somebody will rescue my mortgage,
save my job,
lower food prices,
lower gas prices (I’ll get to drive my guzzie again),
and give me free health care.

Vote for Obama.

I think you’re voting for a lier.
