I think you guys are underestimating just how far out of the European mainstream the Republican Party is. The Democrats/Obama are not just popular in Europe because it's trendy or whatever (though yeah, that's obviously part of it), but because the Republican Party opposes on a deep and fundamental ideological level many non-controversial and universally accepted tenets of (Western) European political and social life (secularism, the right to healthcare, a safety net, international cooperation, lack of nationalism (probably a better term for this but I hope you understand what I mean), etc.).
