The Obama vs Romney battles continues

[YOenBA]

I assume a good amount of you have been keeping up with the news involving the upcoming presidential election in the US. I came across this article in which Obama argues that Romney made up data about his welfare changes.

Any thoughts?

America would be better electing Boris Johnson than Romney.

He was born in America too so surely he could run?

Why, if I may ask?

Two peas in the same pod, though at least Johnson admits that he's a rich twit.

Romney is rich...and that's a bad thing? I mean, its not like Obama came straight from a dumpster. Why the double standards? Or am I missing something here?

You're missing something. Might want to read up a little on their backgrounds.

Oh I'm sorry, I thought the OP wanted a discussion. That's why I'm asking others to enlighten me. I didn't know this was a "bash Romney" post.

As for backgrounds, again, if Romney is rich, so what?

I think it's safe to say that a vast majority of expats living in BA are notoriously socialist or have a socialist like thinking (not all). So my response for you all is, you're in your ideological socialist utopia. Stay down here and don't vote in the US general election to ruin it for the rest of us who believe in a merit-based system.

In this next general election it's not Obama vs. Romney, it's Socialism vs. Capitalism. I personally think they're both scumbags, but I'll put Capitalism in front of Socialism any day of the week.
