How anyone can tell the difference between Obama and Romney is anyone's guess. Lets see:
Drone strikes: Obama has killed ~2500 people in Pakistan, about 1/3 of which are civilians. 75% of Pakistanis now consider the US a 'national enemy', not too surprising when a country drops bombs on you. Romney 'Drone strikes are are great, the Pakistanis love them'.
Banks: Obama and Bernanke gave $14 trillion to bail out Wall Street's bonuses leading to an even too-bigger-to-fail monstrosity of a financial sector that we have now. Romney won't change anything there; the banks are his biggest donors and the WSJ calls him R-money.
Deficit: Obama spent more money that he didn't have than any US president in history except maybe King Bush II. Romney is going to cut taxes on everyone without reducing spending or increasing the deficit . . . and refuses to say how.
Civil Liberties: Obama passed the NDAA which blatantly violates the due process guarantees of the Bill of Rights. It was recently struck down as unconstitutional by a federal judge, and the government is appealing. Because, how can they fight the war on terror if they need evidence to put people in prison? Meanwhile, the first google hit for "Romney NDAA" is him giving a speech supporting it.
Not only am I disgusted with the showing of our government over the past 12 years or so, I have no way to do anything about it this november.
