Election 2012

Congratulations to President Obama on being elected to his second term as President of the United States. Now that the election is over, you may wonder what all of the fuss was about.  Here is a breakdown of what both candidates were promising if elected to be POTUS (President of the United States).  If you could have voted for President, who would you have choose? 

President Obama, the Democratic candidate, promised to:

• Invest in education, small businesses, clean energy, infrastructure, and tax cuts for companies that bring jobs back to the U.S.
• Cut taxes for the typical middle class family.
• Develop every available source of American-made energy—including oil, gas, clean coal, wind, solar, biofuels, nuclear - and take steps to protect our climate.
• Cut college tuition costs and make financial help available to more students.
• Improve Medicare to help more senior citizens get medical care.
• Help immigrants who want to become citizens.

Mitt Romney, the Republican candidate promised to:

• Make the United States less dependent on foreign energy sources by increasing access to U.S. sources of oil, gas and coal.
• Give every family access to great schools and teachers.
• Provide access to affordable higher education. 
• Focus on job training programs that will make it easier for people to get good jobs.
• Lower the deficit by cutting federal programs other than the military.
• Replace Obama's health care law with his own health care program.
