Most foreigners love seeing America struggle, so naturally they love Obama in that they want the next four years to be like the past four years.

Some nations more so than others, but on average it is true. Obviously I cannot quantitatively prove it since not many people would admit to a pollster that they love seeing America struggle. However, these polls are revealing:

Yeah, but you can't just generalize and say, oh all foreigners hate America!

Certainly foreign business leaders generally have to do a lot of business with America, us being the largest economy in the world and all.

Yes, and most of the savvy foreign business leaders who do direct business with America are in favor of Romney, as is the case domestically.

I said no such thing. I merely pointed out that most foreigners like seeing us struggle. There is a big difference between all and most just as there is a big difference between enjoying seeing somebody struggle versus hating them.

Get a grip. America has the largest economy in the world and one of the largest markets. If we struggle economically, so does the global economy. Our financial crisis threw the entire industrialized world into a downturn, remember?

Do you have any non-anecdotal means of citing this?

Common sense dictates that a savvy business leader, assuming he or she does not benefit from government intervention/cronyism, is going to support a president who has business experience and adherence to free market ideology over a president who is a lawyer with policies that have contributed to the current dismal economy.
