My views are extreme because they do not align with your world view. You see the world from your perspective and all else is "extreme".

Afraid? Life goes on... regardless of who wins. Fear is for the weak. Ignorance of realities and blind worship of messiahs has caused more problems than spirited debate. I will assume you are embellishing your opinion of tonight's speech to prove a point. Surely you have read the great speeches of this nation since its founding... or read the simple writings of hick farmers in the Federalist Papers?

If Obama wins I believe it will show the rest of the world that we (the USA) is not a bunch of idiots but someone that truly believe that change can be made with the right choice in the upcoming election.

I too have spent considerable time outside of the US and I too hold EU citizenship (ouch - did not expect that one did you?). You are making gross generalizations about MOST people in Europe... or you choose to associate with people of the same mindset so it reinforces your own viewpoint... feedback loops. I could reverse your statement and say, "Most people I speak to in Europe agree with the viewpoints I hold"... We probably frequent different countries and associate with different people. Swings and Round-abouts my friend and generalizations are just that... generalizations.
We will agree to disagree.
