U.S. Elections 2012 l Barack Obama win

The President of the United States Barack Obama Re-Elected Mitt Romney was out of the race after losing Ohio, a hotly contested state. The U.S. president, Barack Obama, on Tuesday won the 275 Electoral votes to continue another four years as an inhabitant of the White House.

Obama had no surprises. Was imposed in all states in its victory was scheduled and managed to keep most of the key states, so got a comfort unanticipated reelection.

In  Ohio, the state considered the key to the White House, Bush won by a slim advantage.Improved further its position in key sectors of the Democratic base as women (2% more than in 2008) and those earning less than $ 50,000.

Obama won in Pennsylvania despite a strong push from Mitt Romney's campaign to achieve the state. Also made ​​significant gains compared to 2008 with his victory atWisconsin (the state's Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan ), New Hampshire and Iowa .

Although throughout the campaign key states appear as undefined, it appears that Latino organizations campaigns to mobilize the community paid off . The new record of Latino participation was the key to obtain Obama four more years in power. Another major reason was that Romney would make cuts on the educational background and Obamacare. The president's dossier debt stays with them: the immigration reform .

In Florida, for example, 58% of Latinos gave their votes to Obama compared with 40% for Romney, and 66% in Virginia was for President and 31% for his rival, according to this survey of Latino Decisions and ImpreMedia Hispanic media group.

The economy , stable but sluggish, top the agenda of the new period and touches all aspects that have dominated the campaign: security for the middle class, create jobs , values, taxes, chance of a better life.

In foreign policy , will continue to lead the response to the nuclear ambitions of Iran, a civil war in Syria, the crisis of European sovereign debt, the war in Mexico against drug trafficking and weapons, and the agitation of the Middle East .

Obama l "We have confidence.'ll Get the votes to win"

Barack Obama spoke briefly to reporters after making an unannounced visit to a Democratic campaign office near his home in Chicago, where volunteers phoned state ofWisconsin to thank them for "working hard" in their name. The President was received with loud applause that office for more than two dozen volunteers, some with tears in their eyes . The president thanked "all the amazing people who are working so hard, making phone calls and making sure that people go to vote." Also congratulated Mitt Romney for his "vigorous" campaign, said that his followers are "as committed and enthusiastic" and Democrats are also adding that "working hard today." The president in Chicago recorded a series of interviews for radio and TV, and thenplay basketball with some friends and members of his team. This sport, a personal passion of Obama, is also a superstitious tradition for the president, often relax on the court the day of the vote when his name is on the ballot. Obama will eat and dine at home with his family and at night will move to McCormick Place in Chicago, where he will await the results of the election day and deliver a victory speech or of accepting defeat.

What if Romney and Obama tied?

The U.S. electoral system is indirect that citizens elect the 538 members of the Electoral College are who subsequently elect the president and vice. To each state corresponds a equal number of representatives , plus an amount that isproportional to its population. The presidential candidate who gains the support of the majority of citizens of a state , no matter what percent-takes the entire representatives , formally called "electors", attributed to that state by the Electoral College. To be elected president, you need to get a simple majority of delegates , ie 270 electoral votes . However, it could be that each candidate gets 269 votes and thus produce a tie.iven this unusual case, Amendment 12 of the Constitution establishes that the U.S.House of Representatives would choose the president, but through a special process of voting. Each group of representatives of the same state would be assigned one vote , with the exception of having the District of Washington, which although not a state, is assigned three electors for being the capital of the country, they would not participate.  Finally, the president would be elected by a simple majority , ie 26 of the 50 votesallocated. However, it is possible that in this case there is a tie again , if both candidates achieved 25 votes each, against which the vote would be repeated as often as necessarybecause the House has no tiebreaker rules .  The Senate on the other hand, consists of 100 senators , would be responsible for theelection of the vice president , also by a simple majority. In case of a tie , in charge of defining the result would be the President of the Senate , that is, the current vice president . There in the history of the United States only two precedents in the House of Representatives had to choose the president against a draw: in 1801 to Thomas Jefferson in 1925 and John Quincy Adams. If the House were to stick with the current composition, Mitt Romney leave withadvantage , as his party's majority in more states than Democrats. However, when one looks at the possible outcome of Tuesday's election , adding the votes of Democrats unquestionably states and showing an inclination for that party,Obama would have already secured two 43 votes , and I would be left only 27 to be crowned winner. Romney on the other hand, would have secured only 206 electoral votes, which will reduce the number of combinations victorious. The difference will be played in swing states: Florida -29 votes-votes-Ohio -18, -13 vote-Virginia, Wisconsin -10 votes-votes-Colorado -9, -6 votes-Iowa, New Hampshire and -4 votes.

Romney cast his vote in Massachusetts

Romney voted in the Beech Street Center in the town of Belmont, the same who voted in the Republican primary in March. Asked about by whom he voted, Romney said: " I think you know, "adding that he was" very very good "about their electoral prospects. The  Republican candidate to make split after  recent rallies in Ohio and Pennsylvania, two states  that could tip the balance towards either side.U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, voted this morning (local) in their place of residence, Wilmington, in the state of Delaware. President Barack Obama had already placed their vote nearly two weeks ago in Chicago, taking advantage of the advance voting system that exists in the United States. He was the first head of state in the history of the country that did it this way, before the actual election day. It is expected to vote at least  120 million Americans  to give the president a  second term  or replaced by the Republican candidate.  Surveys show them tied  in an election that  will be decided in a handful of key states.

United States l The "swing states", which defines the choice

As its name implies, the United States is a confederation of states. So when voters go to the polls next vote as U.S. citizens as well as citizens of the state in which they reside. The indirect voting system, with electoral college in the U.S. has a particularity: it gives great weight to the states, giving all the electoral votes to the party that prevails in every state. Therefore, in order to analyze the possible electoral scenarios should ignore polls that are broadcast nationally and analyze the internal situation in each state. Under that premise, the 53 U.S. states can be divided into three groups: those of Democratic tradition (California, New York, etc.), typically those Republicans (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia) and known as "swing states" , states with independent voters, who decide their vote for either party in a different way in each election. The "swing states" are states where the electoral battle is concentrated where both parties spend much of their budget on advertising and, of course, which ultimately defined the election. 

Florida, between 2000 and the specter of the weight of Latinos

The most important of this group is Florida, the fourth district of the U.S. by population size, with 29 electoral votes. In 2000 was the epicenter of a major electoral disputes in the country's history, when George W. Bush won over Al Gore surrounded by multiple allegations of irregularities. At that time, it was the Supreme Court who decided that the winner was Bush, dismissing the recount request from Democrats. In 2004, Bush won again, but the state was for Democrats in 2008, when Obama won his first term. In 2012, the fate of President Obama in Florida is tied to the large Hispanic (Cuban and Puerto Rican, traditionally closer to the Democrats) and youth. The Democratic candidate shows a slight advantage there in the polls, but that young silogra and Hispanics, two groups with a high level of abstention, actually go to vote, you could get a more comfortable victory. In a contest so hard and so tight with the result, no one wants to repeat the experience of 2000, so we will wait until the morning to have the official data.

Ohio, the state "must win"

Second in importance is Ohio, with 18 electoral votes. The demographic composition makes many analysts claim that acts as a "sample" nationally: it has the same proportion of urban and rural population nationwide, relationship is also maintained in age, religious and racial. However, this time the state is in better economic conditions than the national average, with lower unemployment, which could play into the Democrats. A particularity why all eyes converge in Ohio: in the last 50 years, all candidates who won the presidency in this state won. One thing that the Republicans know, and that bet has been strong there.

North Carolina: Obama wants to repeat the feat

When in 2008 the U.S. president won the state, snapped a nine presidential elections for Republicans. This time things will not be easy for Obama, who wants to keep the 15 electoral votes awarded by the state and for that chose to host the Democratic National Convention. However, the polls give a slight advantage to Romney.

Virginia: a third candidate can change everything

In 2008, Obama managed to break a long conservative tradition that dated 1964 by a margin of 7%. Now, Democrats and Republicans show different surveys, which are attributed the victory. In an attempt to get a key state for their aspirations, Romney included it in his "rally" final. There must not only compete against the president, but a third independent candidate, Virgil Goode, could subtract up to 5% of the conservative vote.

Wisconsin

With 10 electoral votes, is the last of the "swing states" of "double digits." The Republican candidate for vice president, Paul Ryan, a native of that state, and is the big bet to break a Republican Democrat tradition that dates back to 1984, when Ronald Reagan won reelection. However, according to the polls, Barack Obama is close to Democratic tradition continue there.

Colorado

With nine electoral votes, Obama got there one of its greatest electoral success in 2008, after eight of nine presidential Republican hands. Demographic changes in the state-and Latino-youngest president could benefit. Moreover, along with the presidency, Colorado plebiscitará some easing in consumption, production and marketing of marijuana, a proposal that has majority support in the state and that would bring votes to Obama. There are conflicting surveys, and the end is still open.

Obama and Romney before his last chance to win the undecided vote

After a grueling 18-month battle came the last day of the election campaign for U.S.President Barack Obama and his rival Republican Mitt Romney , two men in the race for political office attributed the world's most important . Candidates attended hundreds of meetings, fundraising meetings and mayor, spent literally billions of dollars in advertising to attack his opponent, did its best to win the votes of the undecided and participated in three intense debates.

His running mates, the current vice president, Joe Biden, and Rep. Paul Ryan - identified reasons for the aspirations of their leaders, the first lady, Michelle Obama , and Romney's wife, Ann, also attended the match. This Monday is the last day, the last desperate attempt of the incumbent and the challenger to convince the small number of undecided voters that their policies, their platforms and their approach to lead U.S. from 2013 are the best. With most polls showing that they are almost as likely to reach the White House, Obama and Romney made ​​his last efforts to mobilize their supporters. "I need you, Ohio," Obama told a crowd of about 20,000 supporters in Cincinnati, a state in which both candidates are fighting fiercely. "And if you are willing to work with me and knock on some doors with me, if you are willing to vote early for me, make some phone calls for me, take action, we will win Ohio.'ll win this election , "said the president. Both candidates campaigned until late Sunday, with Romney imploring his followers to go out and seek a vote in the handful of states that will decide who the next president. "We have to do a little work in the coming days ... to guarantee us a win on Tuesday night," said McCain at a rally Sunday night in Newport News, Virginia. The stretch shows that the race will be closely fought, with rival candidates and their advisers announcing that rely on their victory after months of campaigning and contradictory trends in the polls. When there are fewer turns clock for Tuesday June, Romney made ​​a surprise raid in Pennsylvania , a state traditionally tilted toward Democrats but Republican strategists say they can win. "Will the White House because we will win in Pennsylvania, "Romney said to a crowd of over 30,000 fans, the Secret Service estimates cited by the Republican campaign team. Obama aides downplayed the trip, when they saw a sign of desperation, within 48 hours of the election. However, a shaft personality, such as former President Bill Clinton, will on Monday in four electoral events for Obama in Pennsylvania to counter Romney's final push in that state. "Ultimately, it is up to you. You have the power," Obama said at a meeting in Concord, New Hampshire. "Right now, in the next two days you will make decisions that will shape this country for decades to come." Obama flew to New Hampshire to take part in Sunday night at an event with Clinton, in which the popular former president put his economic legacy of the Bush men. In a grueling tour, the president and Democratic candidate also moved to Florida, Ohio and Colorado , before going to Wisconsin in the early hours of Monday. The exhaustion was noticed in both candidates last weekend when maintained a frenetic pace before Monday, when both cast the rest. Obama will start in Wisconsin , will continue in Ohio and then in Iowa , the state that launched his campaign in 2008, and will end in his city, Chicago. Romney started the day in the largest of the swing states , Florida . Then head to Virginia and Ohio to return for the last time he started his campaign 18 months ago: New Hampshire. Advisors noted that early voting in Ohio and Florida was evidence that Obama was close to becoming the second Democrat to be reelected president since World War II.

Bin Laden steals the limelight of the campaign

Film? Campaign or ad? The film " Seal Team Six: The raid on Osama bin Laden ", which premieres this Sunday on U.S. television, has caused criticism Party Mitt Romneywho sees it as a political maneuver to support the president, who seeking re-election in Tuesday's elections. "The film is about history, not about politics", has defended the broadcaster CNN Harvey Weinstein , film producer and Hollywood mogul, after the controversy. The capture and killing of Bin Laden, leader of Al Qaeda and mastermind of the attacks of 11-S , is one of the arguments wielded Democratic campaign for reelection to Barack Obama. "If a film appears two nights before the election and is made ​​by Harvey Weinstein, a Democrat known, is a great support for Obama and of course that raises suspicions, "said Ana Navarro, GOP consultant. The director, John Stockwell , nobody denies that the film would emphasize the figure of the president. He said that the film is primarily an action movie that focuses on the danger of the mission of the U.S. Army special forces in Pakistan. For its part, the National Geographic Channel insists that the choice of opening day was not political, while Stockwell recalled that the station owners are not exactly sympathetic to Obama, since a large part in the hands of Fox , opposition. The film will air Monday through internet streaming Netlfix and in cinemas from Thursday, in a 180 degrees from the usual way in which the films hit the world.

The challenges facing Obama or Romney if win

The task for Barack Obama if he gets his reelection, or for Republican Mitt Romney will begin immediately after Tuesday's election and could determine whether the White House and the Congress will prevent the country from slipping back into a recession in 2013. If lawmakers and the new government urgently take appropriate action, a wide range oftax increases and budget cuts will take effect in January, hardening the lives of millions of families and endangering the already weak economic recovery. Win or lose, Obama will remain in office until January 20, 2013, so that the " tax gap "is entirely their problem. But Romney will want to contribute in this matter as the elected president if he wins. The economy , stable but sluggish, top the agenda of the new president and touches all aspects that have dominated the campaign: security for the middle class , create jobs, values, taxes, chance of a better life. The next president may not have to deal immediately with a chaos in the financial sector combined with high unemployment and a fall in the stock markets as Obama had to do since he was sworn in on January 20, 2009. But soon the people will demand results. More than 23 million people are unemployedor working part time when they would like to do it full time, or have stopped looking for work. Obama and Romney have promised to generate a solid rebound in employment, but differ diametrically on how to alter the situation of the labor market. And the world will not wait to test the next U.S. president. The confrontation between Iran and the West over its nuclear program has worsened.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that the allies have until the middle of next year to prevent Tehran has the capacity to develop nuclear weapons. The United States will be forced to urge their allies, to strictly enforce sanctions and raising the threat of armed intervention to deter the Iranian regime, or risk being drawn into another war. In foreign policy , the occupant of the White House will face the civil war in Syria , the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the crisis of European sovereign debt , the war in Mexicoagainst drug trafficking and weapons, and the turmoil in the Middle East. The terrorism remains a threat to the country and the Guantanamo naval prison remains open despite Obama's campaign promises. The war in Afghanistan continues after more than 11 years, although the United States and its allies believe conclude in 2014. In January, the new president and his cabinet will have to face a budget reduction of 109,000 million. The president will have to convince Congress to increase again the federal debt limit. U.S. sovereign debt now exceeds $ 16 trillion, the highest since the country's founding. The worst may be the threat of the unknown : a drought, the collapse of a bridge, a shooting or an oil spill. The next U.S. president will have the task of dealing with all this.

U.S. Army mobilizes for victims Sandy can vote

Authorities in New Jersey where more than a million people remain without electricity , and New York still ignore how many polling stations will be open for this election to oppose Democratic President Barack Obama to Republican Mitt Romney . Sandy "is able to cause some chaos" in the voting operations, estimated Costas Panagopulos, political science professor and specialist in American electoral campaigns at Fordham University in New York. In New York, 3,000 locations that would serve both the presidential and legislative elections to local develop simultaneously, are deprived of electricity. Secretary of State of New Jersey , Kim Guadagno, explains that voters will be able to find "an army truck with a National Guard at his disposal and a large sign that will read: 'Vote here.' " In rooms where power cuts preclude the use of electronic machines will have paper ballots to enter into an envelope, said the governor, Chris Christie. The states of New York and New Jersey also extended the time to vote by mail . In New Jersey, it will be possible to do the same Tuesday in the election and in New York until 19 November. The state of Connecticut (northeast) also extended the deadlines for registration on the electoral roll. Sandy force likely to change the location of the polling stations in New York, said John Conklin, a spokesman for the state election commission. "In the worst affected areas, will verify that the premises are accessible to the public , who have power, people have no difficulty reaching them. " Other resources will be installing improvised voting centers that bring together different districts or even tents, as is done in Queens , where a massive fire destroyed an entire neighborhood. To Panagopulos, Sandy raises many questions about the election and could delay the announcement of the final result . The states of New York and New Jersey are considered already won by President Barack Obama, seeking re-election, but the result may be released before the end of thec ounting of votes . "Local authorities, which until now were dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane, should focus on the problems of the vote," says the professor. It is likely that electricity shortages and other difficulties due to Sandy "causing errors in the counting of votes." "If the election is as disputed as expected, it will have an impact, and the final result could be delayed presidential" insisted Panagopulos. Donna Liebmeran, president of the Union for the New York Civil Liberties, fears that voters living in areas devastated by Sandy can not afford . "At the moment the main concern is provide food and get a roof, but are entitled to vote and to do everything possible to guarantee that right. " Even if prolonged periods, "we fear that the system is not flexible enough for the maximum amount of voters to express their vote," he said. "We already have problems when everything is easy to organize, especially when there are difficulties." New York's mayor, Michael Bloomberg , says the election will take place regardless. "It would be really a shame that some bureaucrats fail to do this, but I hope this does not happen," he said.

THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE l Survey Report, Head to head between Obama and Romney

According to a survey of Wall Street Journal / NBC News / Marist Poll, President Barack Obama is ahead by 6 points in Ohio and two in Florida. In Ohio, Obama would be 51% compared to 45% for Mitt Romney, while in Florida the president would get 49% of the votes against 47% of the Republican challenger. In Ohio, the figure is unchanged from last month, while Obama in Florida has increased by one point. If the president wins in these two countries, would win.

Head and head between Obama and Romney

According to a Rasmussen poll, the two candidates are equal with 48% profilerebbe is so head-to-head between President Barack Obama and Republican candidate Mitt Romney. The latest Ipsos survey, however, gives the U.S. president is ahead of Republican candidate to the White House by just one point: 47% to 46%. Two key states Winning in Ohio, which is worth 18 electors, and Florida, 29, Obama sfonderebbe the necessary threshold of 270 electoral college made ​​sure to re-election. In Florida, according to a survey Tampa Bay Times-Herald Miami, Romney is in the lead with 51% of the vote against 45% for Obama.Obama: "Sandy, long and difficult recovery," Obama returns to the national tragedy that struck the coast east of the country: the cyclone Sandy. "The storm has passed, but the recovery will be a long and difficult road. There is much work to do," the president said in the traditional message of the weekend to American families, the last before the presidential election on Tuesday. Obama has promised that, as president, after the emergence of "one of the worst storms in the history of the United States", "the country will be with you all the time that will be used for the recovery and reconstruction" and until the return of normality. Following Sandy, Obama has regained popularity in recent days, the role of coordinator of relief after Sandy did recover many points on the face of the popularity and leadership to Obama. Now, the American president appeals to not be divided, even on the political front: "Now is the time when Americans must be united so that we can rebuild and come back stronger than before." The occupant of the White House has also relied on solidarity with those who have lost their homes in the fury of Sandy, and also to those who live for days without electricity and water, as many New Yorkers. And he asked to open their hearts and homes to the Americans who need it.

U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION l Obama maintains a minimum lead over Romney in the polls in Ohio

The President of the United States  Barack Obama , has a minimal advantage in the polls in the state of Ohio , one of the most important granaries of votes in the elections to be held next Tuesday. According to the poll released Friday by CNN, Obama leads Republican rival Mitt Romney , in three points.  The result of the survey, 50 percent for Obama and 47 percent for Romney, further reaffirms the trend since last October, when the numbers of support and distance roamed these same quantities. Other surveys provide two to five point lead over Obama, although this advantage is minimal since, in all cases, consistent with the margin of error of the polls.

FACTS

However, these surveys confirm that Obama received a majority of support from women, middle class and those under 50 years. Romney, by contrast, brings together many of the votes of the men and the wealthy. Another relevant data from this survey is that the six out of ten people who voted in advance or you think go to the polls before Tuesday it has for Obama, who has devoted a considerable part of their efforts and posts on the subject. On average four percent of voters still remain undecided, according to the latest polls published in this state, where both candidates have made investments bulkier advertising during the election campaign.  In that sense, Romney has spent twice that Obama television ads in Ohio , a total of $ 12.7 million (9.9 million euros), according to CNN reveals.  U.S. President surpassed his rival four years ago, John McCain, in five points, although state elections midterm Republicans regained ground in the House of Representatives.

U.S. creates 171,000 jobs but unemployment picks up one tenth to 7.9%

Barack Obama on Friday received bad news for the race for reelection . Official figures revealed that the unemployment rate rose in October tenth to 7.9%. A percentage that underscores the economic recovery anemia and contradicts the president's economic message, he inherited one tenth less unemployment in his inauguration in January 2009. But the numbers were not positive news for Mitt Romney , whose environment did vote for a rate of over 8% to let him use the figure in the final stretch of the campaign as a clear symptom that the economy does not end better. The U.S. economy created about 171,000 jobs in October. A figure higher than experts predicted but insufficient to reduce the unemployment rate on the eve of the election figure. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg predicted that the U.S. would create between 114,000 and 125,000 jobs. One down from the 148,000 that were created in September according to the official report of the Administration. Experts attribute the contradiction between the rise of the unemployment rate and the creation of 171,000 jobs a fact that there are more Americans who want a job. Some because they are incorporated for the first time to the labor market and other re-search because the parentheses after the recession. The report published today shows that the economy created in August and September more than 84,000 jobs that were announced at the time. These figures are explained in the light of the improvement in consumer confidence, which have helped sustain the modest expansion in the United States despite the polarization in Washington and the worsening global economy. The stores hired more workers than any other month since April 2011 and the rise in house prices boosted improving employment in the construction sector. The economic problems in the euro zone and uncertainty over the election results led some sectors to cut their investments dwindled and just one tenth the rate of underemployed persons (14.6%), which adds to those working fewer hours than they would like , who are unemployed and those who have stopped looking.

The president inherited an unemployment rate of 7.8% and tried to reduce it to an ambitious fiscal stimulus plan . Some economists believe that his policies helped contain the damage from the recession.Others recall that unemployment remained above 8% for 43 months during his tenure: the longest period in the last half century. Since World War II, only Ronald Reagan was reelected with the unemployment rate above 6% . Then unemployment touched 7.2% and had decreased three points in 18 months. A time period in which Obama has just reduced unemployment by 1.1%. The president usually compare their policies with those of Franklin D. Roosevelt : the only president who was reelected with unemployment over 8% in the last 100 years. Roosevelt won the election of 1936 with a rate of 16.6% and 1940 with a percentage of 14.6%. But he had an ace in the hole that Obama has not: could boast of having reduced unemployment to economic policy. Something that could also mean Reagan, who inherited a rate of 7.5%. Unemployment is not always a good indicator as to who will prevail in the race for the White House. Richard Nixon was reelected despite an unemployment rate that had increased nearly two points over his first term.The percentage also increased in the first mandates of Dwight Eisenhower and George W. Bush did not prevent both a triumph in the race for reelection. Romney said Friday his reaction to the October unemployment figures with a statement that presents them as a reminder of the country's economic problems. "The unemployment rate is higher than when President Obama took office and there are still 23 million people struggling to find jobs," Romney said. "On Tuesday, Americans will choose between stagnation and prosperity. During four years, Obama has told us that things are getting better but we can do better. We can have real economic growth and create millions of good paying jobs."

Obama strikes a key support by Sandy

Surprisingly Michael Bloomberg a political independent, seated position on the race for the White House after repeatedly ruling against Barack Obama and Mitt Romney on the grounds that neither had faced the problems facing the country. The shift in posture occurred in recent days after the hurricane Sandy left fifty dead and destruction millionaires in the U.S. east coast. And the key was climate change . Bloomberg believes that this problem helped produce the superstorm and, in his view,Obama is the best candidate to face . "The devastation that the hurricane left in New York and much of the Northeast put the challenges of the presidential elections in relief," he wrote in an opinion piece for Bloomberg View. "Our climate is changing," he said. "And while the increase in extreme weather events (...) may or may not be the result, the risk should be sufficient to oblige all leaders to act immediately," he added. New York mayor's announcement is another indication that the hurricane has influencedthe presidential campaign and has given a new level of urgency to one of the core issues of the conflict: the role of the federal government. By making public their support, Bloomberg outlined the various steps that Obama took over four years to tackle the problem of climate change, including regulations that seek to reduce emissions from vehicles and power plants. He also cited other reasons to support it, including support from the president to abortionand the rights of same-sex couples. The Democratic candidate, already achieved the support of several U.S. media as The New York Times , Los Angeles Times and Miami Herald , Thursday joined the backing of the British magazine The Economist. According to the publication, "the election is about choosing someone to run a country and this choice raises two questions: how good was Obama as president, especially on key issues such as the economy and foreign policy? And can America really trust that Mitt Romney changing will make it better ? ". On that basis, decided to support the reelection of the president but, clarifies, with less "enthusiasm" that four years ago because "better the devil you know" who to know.
