OBAMA BITS: Drew Barrymore's tears; first-ever global presidential poll; "Palin is a B*tch" blog posting from alleged 82-year-old lady.
*In the new issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine, actress Drew Barrymore talks about how Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama made her cry. "When I heard him speak about a gay person never having to sit outside the hospital room with their loved one sick inside, I burst into tears because so many people I care about are homosexual and it was profound to have someone be sensitive to that," she says in November's issue. "That's the kind of world I want to live in, where we're not holding our own principles in judgment above someone or against someone."
*Barack Obama is the world's preferred choice for president of the United States by far, according to the results of a first-ever global presidential poll conducted by Reader's Digest magazine and published in the November issue, on newsstands Oct. 21. The poll, part of the cover story "How the World Sees Us," surveyed 17,000 people in 17 countries, including the U.S. Regarding the question of which candidate they would vote for if they could, respondents voted overwhelmingly for Obama in every country polled, with the exception of the United States, where Republican John McCain was preferred over Democrat Obama by a narrow margin.
