Obama should be re-elected, because he saved a bad situation, even though many initiatives were blocked by the Republicans. Obama is a better choice than Romney, who seems to flip his opinions, so who knows what he'd do in office? Obama cares about people, and will continue to promote equal access to health care and education, like in Finland.

I suppose Obama will win, but it won't change much in the "United States of Hypocrisy", because the political system there is broken. Democrats and Republicans are just two sides of the same dirty, rotten, corrupt coin, and the distance between the left and right is so narrow that the U.S. needs to rethink its so-called two-party system.

I'm cautiously optimistic that Obama will win and secure his legacy. He will make more progress on the economy despite Republican opposition, and "Obamacare" will kick in on his watch in 2014, but the big changes may be that he gets to choose two or three Supreme Court justices, so he will be thinking long-term, to 2016 and beyond.
