Despite the fact that not many people speak English in Russia, everyone knows about U.S. politics and has opinions about the upcoming U.S. election. Most people in the U.S. hardly could tell you the name of the head of state of other nations, or even know about upcoming elections and the candidates! But people in Russia are very aware of our elections and what's going on right now.
All of the Russians I have talked to would like Barack Obama to be the next president of America. They think that his policies are more European and that he is different from President Bush. Of course almost everyone abroad hates George Bush.
However, my host mother must think that Americans are racist. She said that she wants Barack Obama to be president, but she doesn't think he will because he is black and Americans would not elect a black president.
