Election of 2012 we have president Obama trying to get reelected and Mitt Romney running against him. Barack Obama represents the democrats and Mitt Romney represents the Republican side both sides are really different in their beliefs but they both have somewhat of the same goals and is to help the economy. President Obama believes that people with bigger incomes should get taxed more than people that have lower income. Mitt Romney believes that we shouldn’t waste money on things we don’t need like companies that don’t make enough money and that companies should be able to do whatever they want.

Mitt Romney lost the election in November 6, 2012 to Barack Obama for multiple reasons. Mitt Romney only focus on the upper class and how their tax cuts would be great and how he would put money in business and throw away the business that weren’t helping the economy. He also spoke about helping the economy. Romney made it clear early on that he didn’t have a clue about the importance of a sound dollar to economic growth. His original 59-point economic plan contained 671 words, and not one of them was the word dollar. The 5-point economic plan that Romney trotted out late in the campaign contained 184 words, and none them was “dollar”. And, while Romney said during the campaign that he would replace Ben Bernanke as Fed Chairman, he never said with whom, or to what end.

Barack Obama won the 2012 elections by a lot. Barack Obama won re-election handily over Mitt Romney with 303 electoral votes, well more than the 270 electoral votes needed. The Democratic candidate believes in “hope and change" while the republican believe in the big business in the trenches, in one state after another. Obama had full support by the women which helped him a lot 55 percent of women voted for Obama, while only 44 percent voted for Mitt Romney. Men preferred Romney by a margin of 52 to 45 percent, and women made up about 54 percent of the electorate. In total, the gender gap on Tuesday added up to 18 percent -- a significantly wider margin than the 12-point gender gap in the 2008 election.

It’s good for the United States because it takes many years to fix the economy it doesn’t just happen overnight. The election was a drag with all those commercials I feel like there was things said that shouldn't have been said. It was a dirty election all they did was say bad stuff about each other and lie. They sounded like children fighting he said this but he said that. The election doesn't affect the world at all we are no longer the most powerful nation in the world-China is-so it really doesn’t matter to the world who our president is.
