Obama vs Romney

I have a very clear position on this election, which is that I am a big fan of Obama, and strongly against Romney (and in particular his Vice, Paul). Economically, I believe in progressive taxation. Politically, I believe in tolerance and choice. Just to note a few positions that would not be compatible with those of the Republican candidates. A few days ago, my husband brought home the Time Magazine from a flight. I was surprised how much in-depth coverage there was on Romney and Paul. Or perhaps more surprised when I realized the dominant focus European / German press places on analyzing Obama. I guess the readership here is more interested in what they know, what they mostly are in favor of. But also in the more human story of failed hopes and ambitions - the man who could not win against the establishment. Fingers crossed for the upcoming months - and four years to follow.
