How would the rest of the world plead to the US in their own languages:
Turkish: Lütfen Obama’ya oy verin
Russian: Пожалуйста проголосуйте для Obama
German: Wählen Sie bitte für Obama
Irish: Vótáil Obama (Thank you Primal!)
Italian: Voti per Obama per favore (Thank you Nick!)
Spanish: Voti prego per Obama
Korean: Obama를 위해 투표하십시오
Chinese: 请投票支持Obama
French: Votez svp pour Obama
Greek: Παρακαλώ ψηφίστε για Obama
Dutch: Gelieve stemmen voor Obama (Thank you Conor)
Afrikaans: Stem asseblief vir Obama (Thank you Vanilla)
Well, there are so many other languages and people who speak those languages who’d like a certain Mr. Obama to be elected.
Please feel free to let me know how to say this in languages that aren’t included here and I will add more.
Happy Voting America!

“Vótáil Obama”. One of the rare uses of “V” – a letter we don’t have in our alphabet.
Italian – Voti per Obama per favore.
Mr Sneeze and Mr Nick thank you for your contribution to the “Word of the Day”. It is very much appreciated.

I think you need to leave out the ‘te’ 🙂
Ta very much Conor 🙂
It worked!
I did vote and we won!
Ha! Primal, my blog has magical powers! I just have to type Peace into the magical Word of the Day post; translate it into few different languages; sit back and relax as it does its magic; watch the world transform into this peaceful little planet.
QR, You did! And we all won!
I can’t thank you enough. 🙂
Your man is going to make me a believer again.
Oh I sure hope you’re right, Gaye.
My inner cynic has been pretty active. But I’m enjoying the ‘hope’ and ‘change’ for the few months of anticipation.
