It's horrible Obama won. The CBO has announced that we will go into a "super recession" due to Obama's lack of a budget in his first term (http://thehill.com/blogs/on-the-mon...ion-if-congress-fails-to-act-on-fiscal-cliff). Also I am afraid of how Obama will raise the debt even more. Obama raised the debt more than Bush did in his four years than Bush in eight (http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_...-increased-more-under-obama-than-under-bush/). Plus the unemployment rate scares me since I am going to be old enough to need a real job (http://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000000).

And who isn't afraid of a nuclear Iran? Well I am afraid of how Obama doesn't care about a nuclear Iran and is just letting them get nuclear bombs. I didn't know we were supposed to leave our allies when they need us (http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2012/04/06/three-reasons-mr-obama-isnt-going-to-jerusalem).

I think Romney wasn't good, but he wasn't Obama. Chris Christie would have been a great President. Hopefully in 2016.

1) The fiscal cliff is not because he didn't have a budget. It is because of a BIPARTISAN agreement to attempt to force a compromise. The GOP REFUSED to allow ANY tax increased even if they were $10 cut for each $1 raised in taxes. Therefore automatic cuts (approved with BIPARTISAN SUPPORT) have gone into effect. Tax hikes are because the Bush tax cuts expire not because Obama is raising taxes. It's Bush's fault for not making them permanent.

2) Bush came in with a surplus and left with a trillion dollar deficit. You can't undo that overnight. The debt has gone up so much under Obama because he came in a truly awful situation that was created entirely by Bush (pretty much).

3) Obama has stated again and again and again and again (why don't you read the news?) that he will not allow Iran to create a Nuclear bomb. He has said no options are off the table. That means if military action is the only option left, he will take it. Currently he is waging a massive economic war against them with sanctions that are unprecedented and Romney stated in the third debate that he wouldn't change course at all (basically). Also Israel doesn't deserve our support. I don't see why we should be sucking their dick. They are actively oppressing the Palestinians and refuse to compromise in any way.
