Environmental policies decided in the US affects the rest of the globe, including me.
Financial policies decided in the US affects everyone else, including me.
Idiotic wars started by the US affect everyone else, including me.
And finally, there's the issue of simple influence; the president of the US holds a lot of it, and it seems that the more right-wing the republicans turn, our right-wing parties follow suit and become much more radical. If I have to suffer the retardedness of the Progress Party, I would surely prefer a toned-down version of it. The more liberal the US President is, the more likely they are to behave themselves as grown-ups.
And Obama? He's wrapping up two idiotic and failed wars started by Palin's ilk. Now which one would I prefer....hmmm.....
Oh, and I fully support Obama getting the peace prize, so.... No, I consider his diplomacy a true blessing opposed to the non-existant diplomacy we had with Bush and will have with Palin.
EDIT: There's also the fact that Palin is a gibbering moron. And a gibbering moron is quite capable of screwing over an economy. And if there's one thing the world does not need, it's a failed US economy. Even though I just had a blast at eBay, those dollars are like monopoly money now....
