Both reasons, but my like for Obama is admittedly superficial. On a substantive level I hate Romney more than I like Obama.

Another thing - I'm happiest to be voting AGAINST Romney's supporters. Their disgusting behavior over the last 4 years has been beyond offensive and evil, and I can't wait to see their shock and disappointment on election night. Politics aside, people like them should not be allowed to think they've had any sort of victory whatsoever.

I agree that a lot of elements of the Occupy movement are disgusting and barbaric, but they're a very VERY small segment of the liberal movement, and certainly insignificant among elected officials.

On the other hand, the majority of conservatives have reacted in a histrionic and racist way to the first black president, and that includes numerous elected officials.

LOL I misread you. Sorry. The Romney campaign is definitely an organization of thugs.
