It is impossible to say exactly who voted for which candidate, since voting is confidential, and all we have are exit polls. However, based on those polls, the claim by Mr. Romney and his surrogates that most people who voted for President Obama were seeking "handouts" or didn't have jobs is a complete myth. The president scored well with college-educated voters, single women, and Asian-Americans, as well as Hispanic-Americans and African-Americans. He was strong with voters on both the east coast and the west coast, and received about 43-44% of the military vote.

Certainly, there were unemployed people who voted for the president; but there were also unemployed people who voted for Mitt Romney, because they believed he would get the economy moving. Mr. Romney also did very well with southern voters, white males, older voters, and evangelical Christians, and he received a majority of the military vote. Thus, it seems that both candidates could claim that most of their voters were employed (or retired, after being employed).

Did Obama outsource jobs to china?

No, he did not. You are confusing him with Mitt Romney, his challenger in the 2012 election. Mr. Romney's company, Bain Capital, outsourced some American jobs, and China was one place those jobs went.


Who should you vote for Obama or Romney?

Romney because he can handle a country. Obama has agreed to do sereval things he never even attempted to do. Obama has promised to close Gumtomo bay, legalize gay marriage, and allow mexicans easier registration to get into America. Obama hasn't done anything he promised to. He also as spewed several lies during the debate that he called "facts". Obama has also tripled the national debt since Bush was in office. The only thing Obama has done was make Obamacare. Obama just takes the money of hard workers and gives it out with people too lazy to get jobs. Romney will lead the country right. Vote for Romney.

What do Barack Obama and Mitt Romney disagree on?

They disagree on many policy issues: Mr. Romney is much more conservative, while Mr. Obama is center-left in his politics. Mr. Romney believes in limiting the role of the federal government; Mr. Obama believes there is a definite role for government to solve certain problems in our country. Mr. Romney believes that it is acceptable to give further tax cuts to the wealthy, as he believes the top 2% are the "job creators" and should be rewarded for their success; Mr. Obama believes the wealthy have more than their share of tax breaks and special loopholes, and that they are not paying their fair share. Mr. Romney and Mr. Obama also disagree on social issues, for example federal funding for Planned Parenthood: like many conservative Republicans, Mr. Romney has said he wants to "get rid of it," while Mr. Obama believes it provides valuable services, especially to the poor. Mr. Romney is pro-life; Mr. Obama is pro-choice. Mr. Romney is fiscally conservative and has supported the out-sourcing of American jobs to other countries, as a necessary part of cost-cutting; Mr. Obama is pro-capitalism but he is opposed to out-sourcing and wants so see companies get tax breaks for bringing jobs back to America. These are just some of the areas on which they disagree, but there are many others.


How can Obama help people get jobs?

How is Obama going to make jobs better for us?

The economy has finally begun to recover, and the president's supporters would say all signs point to the fact that he is moving America in the right direction. Unemployment is declining and more new jobs are being created. Mr. Obama would also say that he wants to focus on bringing jobs back to America. He would point out that his opponent, Mitt Romney, was very active in out-sourcing American jobs to low-wage countries like China and Vietnam. Mr. Obama wants to make the USA more friendly for manufacturing, which will create more jobs. (Please note: this is what he and his supporters will say. His opponents will say he has not created jobs and Mitt Romney will do it more effectively.)


What are comparisons between Romney and Obama?

romney is pro life. obama supports infanticide. romney is rich. so is obama, but not as rich. romney is mormon. obama claims to be christian, but is actually muslim. you can't find too much dirt on romney. he flip flop-flops a little. he wants to give rich people tax cuts so that they are more likely to hire someone. he wants to cut the deficeit and is a successfull business man. , then governor. he also has a history of helping those in need which isn't really talked about much. obama is a chicago lawyer/ community "organizer" then senator, then pres. romney's companies shipped jobs overseas. many people do that including obama. obama is a socialist, marxist, maybe even communist, we all know that usually doesn't end well for people. he wants to redistribute wealth. i think romney does really want to help america or he wouldn't run for pres. I think obama wants to fundamentally change america. also romney is romured to have driven with a dog in a carrier strapped to the roof of the car along with the luggage! obama ate dog meat a few times as a child. not a big deal. romney said he can't change the mind of the 47% of americans that feel intitled. he was caught in tape saying this. obama was caught on tape telling the russians he will have more flexablity once the election was over. his administration gave guns to mexican drug cartels and egyptian revolutionaries. also would not send help to the people at the lybian embacy who were under attack. he said they didn't know what was going on. we found out later that the white house watched video in real time of the attack!! so idk why he hasn't been impeached. romney has a wife and five boys who are grown. obama has a wife and two daughters who are not grown yet. but people are talking about him being a closeted gay man. idk about that. he said gay people should be able to get married. romney, i am asuming, believes marriage is between man woman and god. anyway obama has a history of hanging out with terrorist like bill ayers who claims to have written obamas first book, dreams from my father, and communists like frank marshall davis (might be his real father). obama claims his father was a goat hearder from kenya. romney's father was a politition who fought for black righs. they both went to harvard. obama is part black but speaks like a white man unless he is talking to a group of blacks, then he has a southern accent for some reason. and romney is super white all the time. anyway those are just a few of the observations i have made. can you tell that i don't like obama. mainly because of the first thing i stated, but i don't trust him one bit.

Why youth will like Obama?

The kids like Obama because they think that he can help our economy. There is tons of people in poverty and have no jobs. Obama is who the media and schools tell them to like. Obama is presented as being all warm and fuzzy, while Romney and others are presented as monsters. You can read of a few published cases of students being punished for expressing anti-Obama sentiments. All the youth know is that they want the promised hope and change. Who is against hope and change? Youth see all the people who are excited about Obama and just want to be a part of something.
