(Reuters) - Twice as many business executives around the world say the global economy will prosper better if incumbent President Barack Obama wins the next election than if his Republican challenger Mitt Romney does, a poll showed on Friday.

Democrat Obama was chosen by 42.7 percent in the 1,700 respondent poll, compared with 20.5 percent for Romney. The rest said "neither".

The result was different among respondents in the United States, where a slim majority thought Romney would be better for their businesses than Obama.

The President always has been popular internationally, especially in Europe.

But no so popular here....

Yes it's usually this way with international heads. Our dear economist PM, manmohan singh, is hailed the world over for liberalizing India's economy. Here he's taking the brunt of criticism for economic slowdown. And yeah, he's also called the puppet PM.

Fuck that! The last thing this country needs is Romney. I hate him and Ryan has voted for every damn Constitution killing bill he's seen. They are no friend to the rights of American citizens.

I disagree. Romney and Ryan will fight to the end to protect the Constitutional rights of EVERY citizen (who is worth more than $10 million dollars).

As far as the other 95 percent of Americans, according to the R&R boys, the Constitution doesn't apply to them.

Cutting is better than spening your country into nothing.

have to spend money to make money. You can't cut everything away and expect things to grow. It's careful investment that kick starts things.

If every country cuts right back, no one buys the situation gets worse.

The USA has never cut back we spend money we never had to begin with and most of it doesn't do anything but make the rich richer.
