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?

Mitt Romney would grant them power to kill the Middle Class.
You think I'm cranky, absolutely I am when I hear from liberals that say things like you just did about Obama being better than all the military elite.
But your statement about Obama;
"Don't under estimate him; he knew better how to deal with Osama Bin Laden strategically than the Navy Seal".
(Grammar; Navy Seal(s), there was a team on that raid).
This is/was the most preposterous statement I’ve ever heard about him.
You, in that statement just slammed all our military, fighting and dying for freedom to give a man like him credit when he deserved NONE except he did give the mission OK to go ahead.
That is why I have 0 respects for you, and liberals that think this socialist “amateur” is so great.
He is very good at lying and talking, but an egotist and self-centered man to the max.
He would not have given the OK if he was on his second term, I’m sure of it, No glory to gain, and killing fellow muslins would not have been his ambition.
For one thing, Congress has lost its purpose at this moment. It was created to help keep the nation together along with the help of the people, but instead, the two are out of touch with each other. Obama is a parasite in the grand scheme of politics, but so is Romney, and yet people take both sides seriously.
For another, anyone who takes the time to read a history book or Wikipedia articles about the history of human civilization will notice that much of history is driven by the human thirst for blood, and that thirst will continue to drive human history for millennia to come, regardless of whether we're on Earth or on Mars. Who's to say that our thirst for conquest won't get the better of ourselves, for sure? We shouldn't be worried about being invaded by galactic forces... we should be worried about becoming the invaders.
