Newspaper Endorsements: Obama

Baltimore Sun:

Barack Obama has not been a perfect president. Millions are still suffering from a weak economy, vitally important issues like climate change and immigration remain all but unaddressed, and most disappointingly, the promise of a new politics to move us beyond a long and bitter partisan divide remains painfully unfulfilled.

But he has been a very good president. For all the promises on which he has fallen short, he has kept many others. He has provided steady, pragmatic leadership in trying times, and he has set the stage for a stronger, more sustainable America to emerge. His chief failing has been his inability, in the face of entrenched opposition from the Republican Party, to bring the Congress and the nation together around solutions to our major problems. He will need to do better in the next four years, but he must be allowed to finish the job.

Contra Costa Times:

When asking ourselves whether we're better off than four years ago, we must answer yes. When President Barack Obama took office, the economy was in a free fall, the nation remained involved in two wars, health care reform was merely an idea and Osama bin Laden was alive.

But economic recovery has been slow, unemployment remains too high, we're still disentangling ourselves from Afghanistan, Iran poses a serious threat and promised immigration reform never materialized.

On balance, however, given the complexities of the job and political polarization in Washington, the president has generally delivered during tremendously difficult economic times, which is why we endorse his re-election.

Fresno Bee:

We certainly understand voters' desire for change in our national government. President Barack Obama has largely failed to achieve the hope and positive change that he promised in 2008. We've had an extremely bumpy road for the past four years -- not all of it is of the president's making.

Obama's centerpiece accomplishment was health care reform, and we have supported that goal because of the dysfunctional health insurance system. But the president's plan was rammed through Congress, leaving many unanswered questions and the likelihood of many unintended consequences. Obama failed to learn lessons from the health care debacle led by Hillary Clinton in 1994, and the passage of the Affordable Care Act cost the Democrats their House majority in the 2010 midterm elections.

Mitt Romney claims to offer an alternative choice as a fiscal conservative who understands the economy. "Fiscal conservative" sounds good to us, especially in a man who has previously acted as a moderate. But pretending to be a staunch conservative and backpedalling on his Massachusetts health care legislation in the Republican primary was disingenuous and diminished his credibility. He has switched positions on issues so many times that we're not sure what Romney actually stands for.

Providence Journal:

Four years ago, another Great Depression was hovering. Wall Street institutions had gone bankrupt. The American auto industry was teetering. House prices were collapsing. Stock values had crumbled and with them, a third or more of Americans' retirement savings. People were scared. Meanwhile, we were enmeshed in two wars.

Since then, Barack Obama has very competently and calmly helped navigate the ship of state away from these traumatic situations. His biggest flaw has been failing to more quickly and clearly defend his policies.

Comparing the slow recovery with rebounds from typical recessions is not useful. Recessions (or depressions) set off by financial panics almost always take longer to dig out of. In 2008 we suffered the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression.

President Obama's performance at the beginning of his term was impressive. His administration, and the Federal Reserve, helped stabilize the financial sector. His economic-stimulus bill of tax cuts and spending projects -- inevitably flawed because of the economic and political complexities of the crisis -- helped to reverse the plunge in economic activity.

El Paso Times:

This year's presidential contest offers voters two major party candidates who have largely refused to give much-needed specifics about how they'd govern in the coming four years. That makes it difficult for voters to gauge whether President Barack Obama or former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is best-positioned to lead our country.

We believe the best choice is to re-elect President Obama, but we don't come to that conclusion easily. His first term has often been a disappointment, marked by an inability to address major economic challenges and key issues like immigration reform. But Obama isn't solely to blame for these failures. Republicans in Congress have been obstacles, often being more focused on weakening the president than improving the country.

Romney, on the other hand, does little to inspire confidence. His remarks earlier this year writing off 47 percent of Americans "who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them" was no mere gaffe. It was an honest expression of his feelings about half our nation -- including a broad swath of El Pasoans.

Ventura County Star:

America is a divided nation. The rift in our society stems from our views of the role of government. On one side are those who believe government should go away, except to provide for the national defense and to enforce a moral code. On the other side are those who believe government must take a role, with all of us, in finding and creating solutions to make our lives better.

Barack Obama is a believer in the second vision. We agree and endorse his re-election for president.

A look at the record reveals the remarkable accomplishments President Obama has made in his first term.

Free Lance Star:

BARACK OBAMA assumed the presidency during an odd moment of hard times and high hopes. The United States was almost in economic free fall, its descent into the worst domestic crisis since the Great Depression no more than slowed by George W. Bush's TARP bailout of the financial sector. Yet on Inauguration Day, 70 percent of Americans, including millions who had voted for his opponent, held a favorable view of the largely untested new president, who promised to evict the paralytic hyperpartisanship that occupied official Washington and to harness the nation's full potential to restore better days and better feelings.

Now, almost four years later, it is the high hopes that have plummeted earthward. Real Clear Politics' latest averaging of national polls reveals that just under half of Americans approve of the president's job performance, and Mr. Obama's pledge to change the Montague-vs.-Capulet-caliber animosity of the capital got little farther than a few rounds of golf with Speaker Boehner.
_____

Bangor Daily News:

We recognize the difficulties of Barack Obama’s presidency, but we believe he offers more realistic ways to continue to improve America’s economy than Republican Mitt Romney. He came into the office facing a severe fiscal crisis and has worked steadily to help the nation grow.

We recognize that the president underestimated how long the economic recovery would take. But he acknowledges the need for revenues, healthy spending cuts and reform of entitlement programs, all of which require persistence and time. Romney is an able businessman, but it appears he is relying on a plan to cut taxes with no sustainable way to pay for it.

Rochester Post Bulletin:

Neither Barack Obama nor Mitt Romney has captured America’s imagination in the past year, and perhaps that’s for the best. Unlike 2008, the vast majority of voters on Tuesday will have their eyes wide open, fully aware that there is no quick-change artist on the ballot, no miracle worker who in four years can heal our nation’s struggling economy, end the crisis in our public schools, and turn the federal budget from red to black.

We’re choosing a president, not a savior.

But someone’s hand must be on the national tiller for the next four years. Should it be a second-term Democrat whose “hope and change” plans were often scuttled by Congressional gridlock and his own tendency to lead from behind? Or should we opt for a Republican whose views have evolved considerably during his political career — and whose candidacy feels like an arranged marriage of conflicting ideologies, grudgingly agreed to by factions in a divided party?
_____


Staunton News Leader:

It wasn’t all the change we’d hoped for, but the historic presidency of Barack Obama has given us enough satisfaction to stay the course as America navigates rough economic waters and emerges stronger.

When he asked us to believe in him, candidate Obama was asking us to believe in ourselves. He delivered, and so did the nation. But there’s work ahead that more of us need to get behind.

Did he singlehandedly heal the economy? No. Even if the leader of the free world really could create jobs, lower taxes and put a chicken in every pot, he would need help. Obama didn’t get it.

For too much of the past four years politics took precedence over progress.
_____

Decatur Daily:

President Barack Obama has led with wisdom. We endorse his re-election.

With an economy in free-fall, Obama’s only responsible path when he entered office was to increase federal spending.

Studies of the Great Depression found austerity aggravated the crisis. Federal spending must increase until consumer spending rebounds, a strategy since followed by presidents of both parties.

During the 14 weeks of his term when Democrats had a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, Obama ignored the polls and pushed through a stimulus plan. It was not large enough, but it ended the recession and began a gradual recovery.

Nations that confronted the recession with austerity — an approach still favored by Obama’s detractors — are re-learning the lesson of the Great Depression.
_____

Burlington Free Press:

The Burlington Free Press editorial board recommends President Barack Obama for a second term.

The president’s first term revealed a centrist whose policy mostly focused on the nation’s economic challenges.

The economy certainly has much room for improvement, especially measured against the fevered prosperity of the 1990s. But Obama took office with the U.S. economy threatening to go into a free fall. He kept that from happening.

A political leader never gets proper credit for catching a falling piano and preventing it from shattering on the concrete. Most people ask, why he didn’t throw it back up to the second floor?

Oakland Tribune:

Asking ourselves whether we're better off than four years ago, we must answer yes. When President Barack Obama took office, the economy was in a free fall, the nation remained involved in two wars, health care reform was merely an idea and Osama bin Laden was alive.

But economic recovery has been slow, unemployment remains too high, we're still disentangling ourselves from Afghanistan, Iran poses a serious threat and promised immigration reform never materialized.

On balance, however, given the complexities of the job and political polarization in Washington, the president has generally delivered during tremendously difficult economic times, which is why we endorse his re-election.

No issue weighs on voters' minds -- and ours -- more than the economy. On that, Obama has performed adequately given that he inherited the worst economic downturn since the Depression. Understandably, it took time to stop the skid.

Berkshire Eagle:

When President Barack Obama took office four years ago, the United States was on the verge of economic disaster and burdened by two divisive and financially crippling foreign wars. Today, the economy is on the rebound, the war in Iraq is over and the war in Afghanistan is winding down. The nation has challenges but it is in a better place now than it was in January 2009 and we urge voters to continue on this path when they go to the polls to elect a president on Tuesday.

While it is difficult to pin down Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, whose campaign strategy is to be all things to all people, his speech before Boca Raton high-rollers in which he disparaged 47 percent of the electorate is revealing because it wasn't for public consumption. This was the real Romney. Austerity for the middle class and tax breaks for the wealthy were a recipe for economic failure under George W. Bush (the man who cannot be named in GOP circles) and will be again if repeated under Mr. Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan. Until recently, Mr. Romney's belligerent statements on foreign policy recalled those of Mr. Bush, whose cowboy policies brought the Iraq nightmare down upon the nation.

Mr. Romney offers the prospect of more of what has already catastrophically failed. Worse, his party is determined to reopen old wounds on women's rights and other social policies that will only further divide a nation that needs to work together to meet the challenges ahead.

Springfield Republican:

President Barack Obama and Joseph Biden

Marin Independent Journal:

BARACK OBAMA has earned four more years as president of the United States.

He inherited two wars started by a Republican president and a reeling economy that pushed our nation and the world to the precipice of a catastrophic meltdown.

The economic collapse was averted and the U.S. economy, despite what is happening in Europe and other parts of the world, is slowly recovering, with the unemployment rate dropping below 8 percent.

President Obama is winding down two costly wars he did not start. His foreign policy team has been a stabilizing influence around the globe during some chaotic times, most notably the Arab spring uprisings. He tracked down Osama bin Laden and had the terrorist behind the 9/11 attacks killed, a bold decision that could easily have backfired.
_____

Del Rio News-Herald:

The mud is deep, sticky and downright nasty this political season, especially in the most important races. We as a nation seem to be delighting in polarizing ourselves. Republican and Democratic campaigners take the lead in declaring absolutes, which we all know can’t be true, yet the misinformation continues to spread, egging on the hostility.

It’s not helping.

The rest is behind a paywall.
_____

Chillicothe Gazette:

Four years ago, the Gazette endorsed Sen. John McCain in his bid for the presidency over Sen. Barack Obama. Our concerns at the time were centered on Obama’s relative inexperience and questions surrounding his ability to lead in a time of crisis.

We argued in that editorial that McCain’s wealth of experience would make him better equipped to handle the threat of terrorism, the painful decline in the economy and other issues. Obama won the election and a clear indication from voters that he was the man to lead.

Now, four years later, President Obama has proved his ability to lead in tough times. He’s made decisions unpopular with Democrats, while moving forward on items with Republicans. He’s pushed forward on an agenda that he was handed in a mandate from voters in 2008, and he’s also helped — albeit not to the extent many hoped — lead us through one of the toughest economic times in recent memory.

We recommend a second term for Obama on Tuesday because he has demonstrated leadership, strength and future vision for the country and Ohio.
_____

Medfield Press:

For many years, this page believed a liberal in the White House was more of an impediment to progressive social change than was a conservative; perhaps the most convincing example of this was Bill Clinton, whose moderate policies satisfied the left while still ensuring the position of the wealthy and corporations in society. Our position changed during the Bush-Cheney administration, during which America saw a redistribution of the wealth upward unlike anything we’ve experienced before. Practically every policy enacted was a financial, environmental and ethnically disaster.

So while Barack Obama acts in very much the same way that Clinton did, there can be little doubt that he is still a better leader for the country then Mitt Romney, who strikes us as nothing more than a savvy George W. Bush. This election is about the economy, and rightfully so. We are experiencing a fundamental reorganization of the world economic structure. This page would much rather see a Keynesian moderate like Obama — who believes in spending our way out of this depression — in office than an unfettered capitalist like Romney, who would impose austerity measures — read: cut social programs — in the name of fiscal necessity.

Rochester City Newspaper:

In a very real sense, this year's presidential election campaign has taken place in an artificial setting, the state of the nation viewed through tinted glasses, significant problems and challenges glossed over or ignored.

It's as if voters and candidates caught those problems, briefly, in their peripheral vision and then blinked, turned, and the problems were gone, from vision and from memory.

Yes, there has been frequent focus on the economy, on jobs, on the need for a stronger recovery, frequent citing of statistics about jobs lost and jobs created. Frequent pledges to improve the lives of working-class Americans.

But for all the attention paid to the problems of cities, the racial divide, income inequality, the problems facing the poor, the crisis in the black community, someone watching from another planet would think that the only decision facing voters is which candidate will best unleash the economy and restore jobs to the hard-working middle-class Americans who have lost them.
_____

Dorchester Reporter:

If only every decision in life were this easy.

President Barack Obama has earned re-election with an impressive first term that will come to be viewed as one of the most productive, progressive, and — ultimately— successful periods in the history of the modern US presidency. Obama has done so in spite of an inherited economic crisis that would have upended lesser leaders and in the face of a Republican Congress whose sole reason for existence over the last two years has been to undermine the president and his initiatives at every turn. The GOP has failed, the president has prevailed, and we enthusiastically endorse his re-election next Tuesday.

The president’s health care reform initiative is a milestone achievement. (In a great irony, his detractors quickly labeled the Affordable Care Act measure “Obamacare”, a term that the president came to embrace and one that will no doubt come to carry his name, to positive effect, through the ages.) Rarely has a president so effectively used his election mandate to such far-reaching and substantive effect. Tens of millions of our fellow Americans— and untold generations to come— will benefit from the reforms. That includes young Americans struggling to find a foothold in the workforce and seniors who will benefit immediately from enhanced prescription drug benefits.

Vermont Standard:

In the presidential race we prefer progress over promises. We support the re-election of President Barack Obama. Governor Mitt Romney lacks consistent positions on too many issues, plus he frequently avoids specifics when promising how he will solve America’s problems.

Sacramento News and Review:

America faces colossal challenges. We need to fix the economy while growing jobs; reign in Wall Street; strive for balance and intelligence in our dealings with an increasingly unpredictable world; implement and improve the historic health-care overhaul now underway; and move swiftly to tackle an already unfolding climate crisis. This is no time to go backward. We must vote to allow President Barack Obama to continue leading us forward on these and other fronts.
_____

Daily Athenaeum:

Four years ago, Barack Obama handily defeated Sen. John McCain to become the nation’s first African-American president.

President Obama entered the White House during a historically trying time for this country. His predecessor, George W. Bush, left Pennsylvania Avenue after a disastrous eight-year tenure with the lowest approval rating for an outgoing president in American history.

Needless to say, the expectations for President Obama were enormous, and his lofty rhetoric only served to elevate them.

Tasked with reversing a catastrophic economic decline, managing two wars and mitigating America’s unprecedented unpopularity abroad, President Obama took office in January 2009. Although the country is still fighting its way out of the recession it was in when Obama took office and continues to face a vast array of foreign policy challenges, we believe that President Obama has generally moved the country in the right direction, and thus we endorse his bid for re-election as president of the United States.

It is important to keep in mind the incredible magnitude of the financial difficulties we were facing as a country when Obama took office.
_____

Daily Nebraskan:

The Daily Nebraskan endorses President Barack Obama for a second term because he supports policies that could lead to a better future for college students.

Obama’s Affordable Care Act sets the framework for a sustainable healthcare system that will allow young people to stay on their parents’ health insurance plans until the age of 26. Obama’s plan will broaden coverage for all Americans. If Republican candidate Mitt Romney wins the election, Obama’s healthcare plan could be largely disassembled, and months of effort and political capital on the part of the Obama administration will have been in vain.

Obama’s economic policies promise to create jobs and increase government revenue through fair taxation of millionaires and billionaires. Americans should trust the man who prevented what could have been, according to many economists, a second Great Depression. An improved economy means better prospects for students after graduation – and Romney’s policies don’t promise an improved economy. The numbers for his economic plan of decreased taxes and increased defense spending simply don’t add up.
_____

Yale Daily News:

In that spirit, the News endorses President Barack Obama for a second term.

Vote to support social justice. We want our gay friends to be able to marry, and we recognize that women have the right to choose, as well as the right to receive equal pay for equal work. President Obama was the first president to vocalize his support for marriage equality. He appointed judges to the Supreme Court who would uphold the constitutionality of Roe v. Wade. The first bill he signed in office was the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which made it easier for women to file charges against discriminatory employers.

Vote to revive the economy. Measures such as the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and the automotive industry bailout have ensured tepid economic growth through stimulus and job creation. Though the amount of progress made has not been ideal, we believe Mitt Romney advocates the kind of deregulation and trickle-down economics that created the recession in the first place.

Vote to support education. A portion of Obama’s stimulus package was used to support Pell Grants and student loan forgiveness, and Obama’s Race to the Top plan, although imperfect, has largely helped to improve test scores. Romney, meanwhile, comes from a party whose leaders have disparaged higher education as elitist, and Romney’s own budget proposals put education spending on the chopping block.
_____

Emory Wheel:

In conclusion, Barack Obama’s education policy promotes the widespread availability of higher education, and he consistently supports the sexual health and economic well being of American women. Although his record is not flawless, he is adept at quickly making wise decisions, and we trust him to take the best care of our nation.
_____

Daily Orange:

One tenet of Obama’s Affordable Care Act — nicknamed Obamacare — includes coverage for young adults. Young adults can stay on their parents’ health care up until age 26. This directly affects and benefits college students. Having universal health care will also increase the quality of life and well-being for Americans across the country.

After graduation, students may not be employed immediately. Students may choose to continue their education further instead of seeking full-time employment until later. During these time periods, students still need health care, and the Affordable Care Act makes this more feasible.

Obama is more progressive with his views on social issues. Generally, college students are in line with these ideas as well. Obama is the first president to openly support gay marriage. His views on abortion, women’s rights and contraceptives also make him an appealing president to the typical college demographic and The Daily Orange Editorial Board.
_____

Daily 49er:

America is still not fully out of the woods yet. The only way for the U.S. to keep moving in the right direction is to stay on course.

That is why we are endorsing President Barack Obama for a second term.

The Daily 49er editorial board has voted in favor of four more years of Obama.

In his first term as president, Obama did as much as he could to help higher education. During his leadership, Obama has doubled Pell Grant scholarships and given families $10,000 tuition tax credits.

Obama has also brought the national unemployment rate down to 7.8 percent. It is imperative this number keeps going down, especially as we graduate and start looking for jobs that can finacially support our future.
_____

Ohio University Post:

In his first term, President Barack Obama has made necessary strides toward his vision of America. And although he did not make good on all his promises, we believe that what he did accomplish has earned him a second term. The Post endorses Barack Obama for president of the United States over Republican challenger Mitt Romney.

Among other things, Obama has come through on his promises to begin reforming the American health-care system, extend tax cuts for the middle class and end the war in Iraq. “Obamacare,” though not perfect, is an accomplishment not to be ignored. Tax cuts for people making less than $200,000 (or families making less than $250,000) were originally passed under former President George W. Bush, but Obama wisely continued them — his plan to build the middle class depends on it. And the costly, drawn-out war in Iraq was finally ended during Obama’s term.

Obama’s first-term resumé also includes the end of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, reform on Wall Street to restrict abusive lending practices, and the death of Osama bin Laden.

Fundamentally, we believe Obama is the right choice for the job.

Spartan Daily:

Students at this university and every other around the country will become the next generation of working adults and will be directly affected by the policies that will be put into place stemming from this election.

According to the Pew Research Center, 66 percent of registered voters ages 18 to 29 voted in the 2008 presidential election as compared to 54 percent in the 2004 election.

This is the time to not just reelect President Obama, but to vote against some of the incompetencies of Mitt Romney.

There are several reasons why we endorse the re-election of President Obama.
_____

Arizona Daily Wildcat:

While it goes without saying, the presidential election affects everyone in the country. As the commander in chief, the head of executive branch and a major driving force behind national policy and legislature, either President Barack Obama or former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is going to have a lot to do. Before that, though, America has a lot to consider when deciding who to vote for.

First, full disclosure: it seems like no one is thrilled with either candidate. The United States’ problems seem so insurmountable that it’d take a superhero to set things right in just one term. With no superheroes on the ballot, we’ll have to settle with a much longer wait and candidates who can’t possibly satisfy the public demands.

Obama knows what he’s doing in the sense that he has been president for the last four years. That’s not a guarantee he’s been doing a good job, but at least he knows what to expect. At the same time, the public knows what to expect with Obama to a degree.

People also seem really concerned with his economic beliefs, but it’s been exaggerated and sensationalized. Republicans are posturing like Obama’s re-election would herald in the end times. Despite what anyone says, he also has social policies that allow people to choose for themselves (concerning abortion and gay marriage). When it comes to foreign policy, Obama has a good track record too — aside from, perhaps, Libya.
_____

Daily Iowan:

In 2008, we elected our first African-American leader to preside over an era that seemed to hold the promise to be post-partisan and post-racial. When the fanfare died down and the recession-ravaged country proved less amenable to change than many had hoped, it was clear that President Obama would have to advance his agenda through the familiar muck of American partisanship.

In the face of opposition notable for its belligerence, obstinacy, and, too often, its inability to compromise on issues basic to governance, Obama has led with strength in a time of economic and social struggle. During his first term, the president has advanced a remarkably broad, forward-thinking agenda and, as a result, we are markedly better off than we were four years ago. The Daily Iowan Editorial Board strongly endorses Obama for a second term; we stand behind his record and his plans.
_____

The Maneater (Univ. of Missouri):

In an election season that's revolved around the economic downturn, healthcare, civil rights, women's rights and America's foreign policy — one that's been drawn out for more than two years — nothing has proven President Barack Obama isn't lifting the country back up. It hasn't been instantaneous, but the direction we're headed in is the right one.

Having inherited a plummeting economy, Obama has proven his dedication to the working family. He's working to bring back Clinton-era tax levels, which would move more of the tax burden onto Americans in higher tax brackets, who can afford it. He wants to extend the Bush tax cuts for families making less than $250,000 a year. He understands that America's success depends on the middle class' success, and he's taking steps to make that more and more likely.

The economy isn't back up completely, but it is on its way there. Expecting Obama to fix the economy in four years is absurd; any president would need at least eight years to climb out of the economic hole Obama's presidency was born in.

Gov. Romney's plans for the economy would put a burden on the middle class that it wouldn't be able to shoulder. To balance the budget, he would cut spending and programs while keeping the Bush tax cuts for every tax bracket. Although this wouldn't raise taxes on the middle or lower class, defunding social programs would still hit them, while the wealthier class would remain unscathed. Every American needs to chip in to pull the economy up, and Romney would let the upper class sit on the sidelines.
_____

The Pitt News:

And while Obama’s record has often been a disappointment ­— he promised to close Guantanamo Bay, to end unilateral drone strikes and executive signing statements and to make progress on global warming — by signing the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, fighting for a more fair tax distribution and standing up for equal marriage rights, Obama has shown he will fight for the underrepresented.

This election, as with any election, we are presented with a choice between two candidates. An Obama presidency looks different than a Romney presidency. The system is not inexplicably broken, and it is important we realize that we have choice; a choice with consequences for the direction of the country.

With Obama, we can look forward to more moderate, at times progressive, policies and administrative continuity. With a Romney administration, we will see a huge question mark with unpredicable consequences.
_____

The Criterion:

Four years ago, amidst two wars and the start of an economic crisis, the Criterion editorial staff endorsed John McCain in the 2008 Presidential election.

This year, in a split decision, the Criterion endorsed President Barack Obama for a second term in office. Many of the editors took a “lesser of two evils” approach when making their vote, but ultimately, Obama better suits the financial needs of college students.

In his first term, Obama rescued the automotive industry, took down Osama bin Laden and, although tumultuous and fiscally flawed, passed Obamacare. It hasn’t been a perfect four years, but Obama is on the right track and has a better plan for the future than Romney.

Many who support Obama say that social values factored into their decision to support the current president in the coming election. Obama supports gay and women’s rights and has a more holistic approach of America’s melting pot than GOP nominee Mitt Romney.
