Title: US Elections
Post by: andyc on 05 November 2012, 10:15:56
So who are you putting your money and future on for the next leader of the free world? For my money Mitt looks like an old style Bond Villan intent on taking over the world.

Anyone but Obama.Hes an American version of Bliar,and is an utter disaster. A socialist (albeit a thinly disguised one) in the Whitehouse, can never be a good thing. :)

I think O'Bummer will get back in by the skin of his teeth. Which might not be the best thing for America, but seeing as Romney seems to be a Dubya clone, it's probably best for the rest of us!!  :-\

Americas economy is in grave danger of falling off a fiscal cliff early next year. I would trust Romney much more to take action to prevent that over Obama any day. ;)

I too think Obama will scrape in but it's certainly going to be close

In have no strong opinion either for or against Obama.

However Romney scares me. He seems to have a total lack of understanding about anything outside the US of A and yet he could end up being one of the most powerful people in the World. If he gets in , we better hope that he has good advisors and that he listens to them.

I don't take much notice of whats going on on that side of the pond.
When I see them on the tv, its just like watching a episode of Spitting Image / American Dad / Team America World Police too me.
This time sadly, when America sneezes, the rest of the world gets a cold so its whoever gets there economy working will do for me  :y

Well, given the 2 options, I think it has to be Obama.  God help us all.

Still, as we try to emulate American politics, we'll soon be voting for just a bunch of media sucking retards. Oh, wait....

Why ? because hes charismatic and the camera likes him ? Because the media are painting Romney as the next George W ?  :-\
Obamas presidency has done similar things to the U.S that Bliar & Brown did to the U.K.

I think that the American economy will bump along whoever's in charge..  :-\

However, I do think that we are a lot less likely to go to war with Iran under O'Bummer and that's why he'd get my vote!!  ;)

Someone is going to have to stop them becoming a nuclear power.I suspect it will be Israel who do the job though regardless of who is in the Whitehouse. ;)

Although it's possible, I doubt that Israel will act unilaterally against Iran, especially without US approval.  ???  Obama is more likely to hold off and give the sanctions a chance to work before pulling the trigger....  :(

However, the US has been stockpiling crude oil lately and 'Call me Dave' is busy in the Middle East looking for a site for an RAF base, so who knows....  ::)
