The choice is clear in the this election. Let’s compare the two candidate’s five point plans.
Barack Obama’s Five Point Plan
1. Save Big Bird’s special subsidy
2. Make sure women can get free contraceptives saving them about $10 / month
3. Protect women from offensive words like binder.
4. Continue to ban the words “War on Terrorism”
5. Grow our debt with more wasted money on soon to fail alternative energy companies

It’s your choice. Which America do you prefer?
I’m watching the contest with some interest; as a Brit I don’t have a say in the election itself. I’m fairly certain that Obama is going to carry it, given the state of most of the polls in his favour (yes I am aware of the Gallup), but this could change over the next few weeks.
I’d be interested in what you think about my take on social media and the US elections: http://tommygilchrist.wordpress.com/2012/10/19/the-51st-state-social-media-the-2012-us-elections-part-3/
