Obama, because he is the lesser of two evils. I look at what both of their records are, what they want to implement in the future, and how likely they are to get those ideas that I like actually enacted or not to get those ideas that I don't like enacted.
Obama: can't stand Obamacare, but it is likely to go away via courts, otherwise, hopefully it can get gone another way within the next 5-10 years
hate stance on immigration, one thing that scares me about keeping him in office
economy issues, he isn't doing well, but neither is Congress or most of the states, I understand that most of the plans require so much compromise that they become useless or hurt more people than they help
Perry: doesn't care about the poor or even, it seems, much about education
seems to be all about giving his campaign donors jobs and contracts rather than actually caring about the people
has no solid plan about the economy, just brings up his state's rankings and job creation as if he is completely responsible, which is not what the evidence suggests
plans on trying to get multiple amendments passed to restrict freedoms, including an anti-SSM amendment (not likely to happen, but still possible if multiple amendments pushed at once)
doesn't seem to hold science in any high regard, despite evidence to the contrary of his own beliefs (big issue with this)
doesn't care about the environment (another hot topic of mine)
Lesser of two evils definitely Obama.
Yep, results don't matter nor do the increase in poverty under Obama, the 25 million unemployed or under employed Americans and the 16% African Unemployment rate. Sounds like the Obama brainwashing is working
Obama economic results in 2011, .4% GDP and 1.3% GDP growth in 2011, 25+ million unemployed or under employed Americans in 2011, 4 trillion added to the debt in less than 3 years, and a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating. Rising Misery index 7.83 to 12.67. First President in U.S. History to have our credit downgraded on his watch! 40% JAR and well over 50% disapproval ratings.
