Number one is the economy and jobs.Are you ready for the results?
I was undecided for a long time. I’ll be happy with either person winning.

Yeah, I’m tired of all the Facebook posts.

The little girl who talked about “Bronco Brama” and Mitt Romney. There were too many negative ads on TV.

I am afraid the Republicans will seize control of Congress and the presidency.What do you think will happen if the Republicans win?
I think things will get even worse in this country. Everything from public radio and public television to a woman’s right to choose, help for people that need food stamps, and Medicare. Just general bad Republican things.

I don’t know. I am a little disappointed in the general tone of the race. I felt like the most pressing issues facing the country weren’t addressed.What do you consider the pressing issues?
Climate change, foreign policy, and financial reform. I felt like the whole campaign was a lot of small, snarky, “He said this, you didn’t build that” sound bites and punditry.

I actually think a lot is not going to change. What is good is what won’t change, like abortion rights and health care. I think Mitt Romney would be a disaster. But in terms of economics, it is going to take some time to get out of the mess Bush got us into.

I think Obama will win.Why did you vote for him?
I grew up in a foreign country, and I believe he has more concern for foreign countries. I have been a Democrat all my life, too.

Probably the Democratic Convention when Bill Clinton spoke. He made a really good point that no president—not him, not Bush, not Romney—could undo the damage of the last eight years Obama inherited. That was a really powerful statement, and I think that is why I voted for Obama.Are you ready for the election to be over?
Yes, absolutely. There was a billion dollars spent on campaign advertising. That money could have been used to help people, it could have done a lot of good. Instead it was just used to slander the candidates, which I thought was disgraceful.

Forever. I love him. I love everything he does. I think he is the best of what America has to offer. I think the Republicans are the worst.What do you think would happen if Mitt Romney were elected?
Oh my, there certainly wouldn’t be more jobs—there’d be no healthcare, the rich would pay fewer taxes, and we would be stuck where we are. It would be a no-win situation, that’s my feeling.

I mean, it’s hard to be happy with either side, though of course I would like Obama to be reelected. The greater of the two choices, I guess. I was just beat down by the whole sideshow feeling of campaigning.Are you excited for it to be over?
Yes, definitely.Previously - Ever Been Made to Feel That Your Afro Is Unprofessional?
