After a National Geographic Channel poll revealed that 65% of Americans believe that Barack Obama would be better suited to handle and alien invasion than Mitt Romney, we were curious hear what SodaHeads had to say about the issue.
When analyzing National Geographic’s results, Erik Hayden of TIME NewsFeed was quick to point out that both candidates are well-versed in science fiction.
“Romney . . . enjoyed Star Trek on TV (though reportedly doesn’t consider himself a Trekkie), likes Star Wars, is a fan of Battlefield Earth (the book, if you please) and says Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game is one of his favorites, according to a Politico profile earlier this year.”
He added, “Obama is no sci-fi slouch either, having given nods to both Star Wars and Star Trek while in office. Well-versed in the ways of the Force, he’s been spotted on the White House lawn jousting with a Jedi lightsaber. He’s also flashed Star Trek’s Vulcan salute in the Oval Office when he posed for a photo with the show’s Nichelle Nichols earlier this year.”
Hayden also pointed out that this is one time when Obama’s analytical Spock-like demeanor—something he’s tried to downplay in the past—may actually be working for him.
So what do you think SodaHeads? Which presidential candidate is better suited to handle an alien invasion?

Amusing enough?
I personally believe that to deploy conventional resources would be foolhardy. Any alien that has conquered the rigors of interstellar space already has conventional and thermonuclear armaments at a disadvantage. Destruction may have to come at our hands, but with his weapons.
However, Orson Wells may actually have been close to the answer, too. Biological elements hold great promise, but delivery is the major program.

That is why I voted Mitt. Mormons are from outter space. Just watch this again.
