<p>Barack Obama is ‘‘the man’’ for me. He’s a god-like figure to me. I’m passionate about him because he’s been such a hero to my country for the last four years. He needs to win the Election of 2012; he just needs to! I was home, in my very own bedroom, when I heard my parents coming upstairs, to tell me, ‘‘Eliza, Eliza! Obama won, Obama won!’’. This is what I want to hear again, after this election. Should Mitt Romney win this election, I will throw a huge fit, worse than the fit I threw when I found out that someone who I was trying to apologize to on Facebook, blocked me. To me, the definition of Romney is ‘‘trouble’’. </p>
<p>Obama is my hero because he created a huge stimulus for our economy, a stimulus so big that it gave jobs to millions of unemployed Americans. This is so important to me because over the summer of 2012, I was given a job at Forest View Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing. While I worked here, I cared for and entertained elderly residents, participated in food and beverage distribution, helped escort residents throughout the facility, and communicated regularly with residents and staff members. I loved this job so much because everyone, staff and residents, was friendly. Everyone was always in a good mood. Everyone always had a smile on their face. While I was working here, I learned how to communicate, enforce rules and policies, entertain, handle complaints, motivate people, persuade people, problem solve, spread optimism, take action, recognize problems, and serve others. Had it not been for Obama, I most likely wouldn’t have been picked for this job. Had it not been for this job, I wouldn’t have learned the skills that I learned, and I would be extremely poverty-stricken, like my father was, when he was unemployed. </p>
<p>Romney would mean such ‘‘trouble’’ to me because he wants to raise taxes for us to cut his own taxes. I don’t want this to happen, if he becomes elected. I love to shop and eat out often, and therefore, would not like to see tax inflation. As of now, I am used to paying exactly ten dollars, including tax, for lunch, at my favorite Subway restaurant. Every time I go there, I always have exactly two five dollar bills or one ten dollar bill with me. Should there be a day, when he’s president, that I order the exact same items that I always have, that I hear the employee at the cashier announce a new price, I will have one of the worst reactions of my life. Not only would I realize that I’m short of money, I would also have to watch the employee throw out the sandwich I ordered and put away the other items I ordered. I would say to myself, ‘‘Well, I just missed lunch. Now, thanks to Mitt Romney, I have to wait until about 6pm for my next meal. I don’t want to eat anywhere else because Subway has the best and healthiest food selections. I love my 6 inch long chicken sandwich with spinach and tomatoes on whole wheat bread!’’.</p>
<p>If Barack Obama wins the Election of 2012, my life would be saved. However, if Mitt Romney wins this election, my life would be down the drain. The moment when my parents came in my room to announce that Obama had won the Election of 2008 is by far the most memorable moment of my life so far, since this was the first election that I was old enough to remember and comprehend. Obama is such a great man to me because he is basically the reason I got my summer job, which I learned a lot from. Mitt Romney is such a fear to me because I don’t want to have to pay more for what I buy everyday. He would be to blame if I can’t have lunch at my favorite Subway restaurant one day because I don’t have enough money. </p>
