How is obama seen in countries like the middleeast and Europe and Eastern Europe?

I know parts in the middle east( like Lebanon) love him.I talk to my family out there and I watch the LBC(lebanese broadcasting channel) and they are very fond of him

In Europe we love him, almost no one over here would've voted for McCain. People think Obama's very charismatic, friendly and very intelligent, so a very positive view. In my class we're about 20 students and only one hoped McCain would win.
Most people think McCain and Palin are really stupid, it's a joke to people here that they had a chance to run a country.

In the UK he appears to be seen very positivly, mostly I think because his polices are based on reason and logic, not just religious extremes!

most of europe likes Obama as well.

Europe hated Bush (he was thick as pigshit). So Obama is a breath of fresh air.

Both candidates got a lot of TV coverage here in France , In the polls ( if you trust such things) it turns out that 69% of Europeans support Obama and wanted him to be President. People are excited because it's a historical moment and we see on our television sets what it used to be like only 40 odd years ago in America where black people couldn't even sit beside white people on the bus and so on, so i would say that most European people are excited by Obama and his personal history i.e.; being born of mixed race parents in Honolulu ? at a time where mixed race marriages where banned in America, on the TV you can see people in Kenya celebrating ( his father and grandmother are Kenyan) people are eager to know about him and his rise through politics, people follow these elections on television because this is making important history.

in france they all vote obama.

the swindle of "arm mass destruction" at the ONU made of usa a country frightening for us.

with obama, france hope the arrival of a real ally, a real democratic and pacifist country.

but i think, france is dreaming ...
