Now i have only started this thread because I want to understand a little about American politics,and of course the reasons you voted for Mr Obama, or why you did not, I thought it would be a very interesting topic, although i know it can be a touchy one too,so please if you do not wish to disclose your reasons, then don't respond.

I imagine the American public want the same things we do in our country,a better place to live, free of crime, war,poverty,uemployment, etc etc.

What were the main issues you were concerned with? and what Policy's did either party offer you? thanks for listening.
