As the clock ticks closer to November 4th presidential election in the U.S, the world is ever curious to learn about the outcome and its impact in the world.
The two candidates Barack Obama and John McCain are running what seems to be one of the most important presidential elections in decades for what seems to have turned into the worst economic situation since the Great Depression. In fact, the democratic candidate – Barack Obama has stimulated more and more young population to be part of the voting process to determine a future that they all have a stake in. Not only has he sparked interest amongst the Americans, but he’s made this election one of the most popular around the world.
The world has become more and more dependent on each other and that does have its pros and cons. Most people around the world have lost their interest and regards for the United States in the past 8 years of President Bush. Therefore, a new leader of the free world would be able to relate better with world leaders such as that of my country to build an alliance that will benefit both countries. Global warming has become one of the key topic that touches the interest of all nations. The new president of the US will be very influential in changing the perspective and signing the Kyoto Protocol which is a common agreement for all nations in the world to meet the global warming challenges.
The most important issues at stake in the election right now and being discussed by the candidates are health care, social security, national defense, foreign policy, immigration and the economy. All of these issues have become the main worry for all Americans. As the events continue to unfold, the economy was voted as top subject of concern for all Americans as many people loose their homes, increasing debt and unemployment level rising.
I think the next debate will focus on foreign policy and the economy.If the next president fails to succeed in ending these problems in America, then the world would continue to feel the spiraling negative effect of the economy. In that regard, my country will receive less donations from the US; less donations will only mean less infrastructural developments, rise in prices of certain goods and other things I can’t measure at this point. So basically, the world is and will be affected in one way or the other by the next president of United States of America.

It is true the American elections will have an impact on the world when tajing into acount that it is currently the largest economy. Most of whatever new policy it installs will have an impact fo rmany nations. You did not pronounce yourself on whic candidate you prefer. Personally, I prefer Obama but do you think his policy of retreating soldiers from Iraq is a good idea. The US intervened in Iraq do you agree that they should only retreat when they'll have restablished a secure and proper running state?
