The Faroese Minister of Foreign Affairs endorses John McCain... but I endorse Barack Obama.

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jørgen Niclasen, has publicly voiced his personal opinion, on who he'd like to win the election in USA and why. One reason he says, is that John McCain wants to tear down walls, while Barack Obama, according to him, wants to surround the USA behind a wall. 

That might be his personal opinion. Even though it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, i'd like to say that I endorse Barack Obama.

In the wake of the deep deep economic crisis, and now that the proud nation of Iceland, is trying to emerge from the ashes, they've sent many congratulatory notes to the Faroe Islands, because the Faroese government has offered Iceland a loan of approx. 50 million USD.

It might not sound much, but it's what the Faroese government sees fit at this moment, to lend our brethren in the north.
