Due to his recession is global popularity it is not unheard of for European nations to favor a Democratic candidate.
Although Obama majored in international relations at the Columbia University; Baracks lack of experience not only foreign relations but global politics in general does not seem to bother many European nations.

Europe Obama and Iran

United States allies in Europe and the middle East pose an interesting question for 2008 presidential election candidate Barack Abomey " Do you plan to sever the front that the Bush administration has built to comply with the Iran's nuclear quests." However the question has not been clearly answered.
European Union foreign-policy compromise package, presented by the UN, which is planned to stop dialogue between the US and Iran is potentially on the line. Although a vast majority of Europe supports Abomey in this election, his shaky stance on this issue has much of the political European world giving their position a second thought. It is Obamas best interest to keep in mind what is in the countries best interest, and to disregard any other vendettas one may have.
Oboma should support the EU-US package was presented to him with unanimous support from the security council. No one is saying that ties with Iran must remain separate forever, however during this time it would be wise to remain close allies even closer.
