The 2013 Presidential Election is headed our way. We read about past elections in our history books. With each election, the fate of millions of Americas lives lay in its hands. This year the top candidates are Barrack Obama (Democrat) and Mitt Romney (Republican). In my opinion, Obama would be the best vote.
There are many reasons why to vote for Obama rather than Romney. For instance, with Obamas tax plans the U.S. economy will be strengthened. He will create new jobs, which will help Americans. The American Jobs Act, will provide jobs for Americans by giving tax breaks to companies in need. He says that “most jobs come from small businesses.” Unlike Obama, Romney does not believe in raising taxes to help Americans gain jobs. Romney once said, “I don’t like taxes, and as governor I cut taxes 19 times and didn’t raise taxes.”
Another area Obama would be a better vote than Romney is the fact that he would give federal funding to stem cell Research. This is important because stem cell research helps doctors understand birth disorders, the use of certain drugs on the body, and is a step closer to curing cancer. Research shows that with stem cell research has helped find cures for leukemia, as well as help rebuild good cells lost in chemotherapy. It has countless ways of helping people, that have yet to be discovered.
A topic up for serious debate in our country is the use and legalization of medicinal and recreational Marijuana use. Many studies have been done on this plant, and many have come out positive. It can help ease the pain of many medical conditions, including glaucoma, schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, anorexia, multiple sclerosis, and more. Obama is for the use of Medicinal Marijuana, saying that it is similar to a doctor prescribing morphine or any other drug. Romney stands on the other side however, saying that it is a gateway drug, and leads to crime. Both of his stances here, have been proved wrong in many different studies.
Obama is more open minded to change, while Romney seems to be stuck in the past. He is old fashioned, which isn’t always a bad thing, but in todays day and age it isn’t always perceived as a good thing. For instance Romney isn’t for making gay marriage legal. Obama is not against same sex marriage, and doesn’t discriminate against it. He believe that same sex couple have the same rights as anyone else to get married.
Obama is also for securing woman’s rights to abortions, and birth control. Meanwhile, Romney is on a completely different side of the spectrum, he is Pro-Life, meaning that he is against abortions. Obama wants to protect a woman’s right to terminate an unwanted pregnancy, despite her reasons; may it be sexual abuse, or a teenage pregnancy.
All in all, I believe Obama would make a better president for America. I like where he stands in topics such as Marijuana, abortions, stem cell research, gay marriage, and etc. He is more open minded to what people want and believe in.
