In a few days, we will know you the next president of The United States of America will be. Like so many other non-US citizens, I take great interest in the election. I have followed this whole process from the first rumours circulated about who would try to win the presidential nomination for each party to the intense battle between John McCain and Barack Obama.
Like most of the non-US citizens, who follow this election, I have my opinion about who I think should be the next president. However, I have noticed specifically during this election campaign that celebreties, who are not American citizens, have taken a very active role in the election campaign for the Democratic Party. I saw Elton John performing at a benefit show for Hillary Clinton and particually John Cleese campaigning very actively for Barrack Obama.
I seriously do not like persons, who are not able to vote in the election, but still are trying to influence others, who are able to vote, regardless of which party the non-US citizen campaigns for. How would a Dannish citizen like it, if a Frenshman all of a sudden started to tell Danish citizens who they should vote for in the next election in Denmark ? I would not like it all. Therefore, I do believe it is double standard if foreigners take a too active role in the US presidential election.
