Yes, but you don't really see the ~200 other countries' election/decision results on here. Why does the US get special treatment? (It's a serious question, so please don't downvote me.)
I agree the post did not follow the guide lines and it would have been possible to achieve the same result and link to a better article explaining the impact Obama will have on the tech industry.
The US get special treatment for the same reason that many people consider the US President to be the most powerful person in the world. The US President's decisions effect the whole world on a scale which is considerable larger then the leaders of many of the other ~200 countries for better or worse.
