Parents Prefer President Obama as Babysitter


In a new ABC News/Washington Post poll poll released Monday, 49 percent of registered voters surveyed said they would rather leave a child with the president Obama than Romney.
That’s a 13 point spike for Obama; just two weeks ago, the rivals were dead even in the “babysitting” question.
Obama’s reserved, less-confrontational performance at the debate could be a big reason for the upswing. The president suggested he might have been “too polite” during his meeting with Romney in Denver. But whatever that his demeanor cost him, it seemed to hit home with when it comes to caring and responsibility.

I think I could trust my kids with either guy for a few hours, and they will be there and OK, when I get back.

I don't know either guy personally though, and as such, no stranger will babysit my kids.

Sounds like some people need to be reminded about obamas body count of women and children.

President as baby sitter is a pretty awful premise for a hypothetical question,but sadly that's how government as a whole is viewed.
Got Stockholm syndrome?

I wonder how much money these people spend on these strange polls. Like either one will ever sign up to babysit stranger's children.

Both seem like good family men, with good kids of their own. Again, I don't know them personally, just the perception I see from their appearences I've seen.

But I agree, a ridiculous question. Btw, as far as how many women and children he's killed, war is hell, and Romney isn't offering a change, he's going to double down.

I would hope that if either one of these guys were babysitting a kid, they'd jump up at the news of a national crisis like a terrorist attack, call a neighbor to cover the kids, and rush back to the WH. Unlike W, who sat in that Florida classroom with all those kids, and did nothing....and said nothing publicly for (how long?) after 9-11?

Yes i wanted to vote both but that wasnt a option. Both seem to be good family men and good fathers. My kids should be fine with either one. Man the economy is really bad if either of these multi millionares need to baby sit my kids after this election.

Default Who would you let babysit your kids? Obama or Romney?

Babysitter?

My kids don't need no stinkin' babysitter.

BTW, they're both voting for Obama.
