What does Obama have to face in the 2012 election?

Answer 1

During the 2012 election, Mr. Obama faced a strong challenge from former governor and business executive Mitt Romney. Romney and the Republicans said that the president had been unsuccessful in getting the economy back on track and it was time for a change; Romney stressed his business experience as a prosperous venture capitalist. But the majority of the voters believed that the president had the economy moving in the right direction and they did not feel comfortable with Romney, who was perceived by many as a plutocrat. The voters also approved of many of President Obama's decisions, including his rescue of the auto industry and his handling of Hurricane Sandy. On November 6th, 2012, the president was re-elected. But he still faces a congress that is divided, with few members who want to compromise with the other party, and he still faces an economy that is growing more slowly than he had hoped.
