I cannot imagine being in Ohio, because I've never been to Americaland, but having seen what I saw the last few weeks, quite frankly, I don't even want to. I'm not trying to be rude, but for the average European it is an absolute mystery, how someone can lawfully rise to the highest office in one of the worlds most powerful states, who is too intellectually challenged by eating a pretzel without asphyxiating
It sort of worked in Italy, where a crook like Berlusconi could seize office, but for the rest of the western continent, the candidates usually have a higher IQ than a loaf o' bread.
I admit, I was glued to the TV four years ago, because all of Europe was rooting for Obama, but the result is bleak at best. He promised to close the concentration camp at Guantanamo, but he didn't. He promised change, but none came, yet he is elected again, because America chose between pest and Cholera, frankly.
I admire the patience of American people, putting up with the same brown stuff every four years. Wouldn't happen in Europe - or at least Germany and many other western European states. When we last time got fed up with our government, the Berlin wall fell.
Edit: By brown stuff I don't refer to Obama's tan - it is meant as a euphemism for a word that starts with 's' and ends with 't' and isn't 'soot'
Anyway, I just hope we won't get spammed with that stuff in four years again, because, whoever you guys vote for, you get the same thing anyways, just with a varying level of fundamentalist Christian zealotry
Guess I had to unload somewhere. We were bored to tears with that election race that no flying expletive is given about for weeks now all over the media. Guess some frustration has been building up 
On the upside, we're going to be left in peace for almost four years
