65 percent of Americans say Obama better suited to handle alien invasion than Romney By Eric Pfeiffer, Yahoo! News | The Ticket – 1 hr 59 mins ago

In the event that Bill Pullman isn't available, two-thirds of respondents to a new survey say that President Barack Obama would be better suited to handle an alien invasion than presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.

"We wanted the pulse on people's opinions," said Brad Dancer, senior vice president of research and digital media for National Geographic, who conducted the survey for the new series "Chasing UFOs." "We wanted to get a sense of how Americans view UFOs, what people believe and how mainstream pop culture may or may not be playing into their opinions on it."

Nearly 65 percent of respondents said Obama would be better suited to handle a theoretical alien invasion than Romney.

In fact, Obama trumped Romney across the board, winning a majority of support from women (68 percent), men (61 percent) and those aged 18 to 64 (68 percent).

Romney's strongest bracket was with senior citizens, where he split the vote with Obama at 50 percent each.

During a May visit to the White House by the actor Will Smith and his family, Obama was quizzed by Smith's 13-year-old son, Jaden, about the possibility of extraterrestrial life. In an interview with the BBC, Smith recounted Obama's reaction to his son:

Where did they take this poll - a crack house?

America’s first African president knows a great deal about aliens.

.. Obama better suited to handle alien invasion than Romney..."

Only if they land here:

[Hunton Peck]

It figures that a vast majority of those who see space aliens as an election issue would favor 0bama.

[Thorliveshere]

Hell, he’d give them amnesty, too.

[SparkyBass]

UFO?

Uninhibited
Federal
Orifice?

[NEMDF]

Yep. He’ll tell them where to line up and cut in line to suck up any benefits are out there to be had. Then he’ll raise the taxes on the “rich” in the name of fairness.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

You came close. However, Bigfoot pilots UFO”s. That fact is why no one ever finds a Bigfoot body; for when a Bigfoot dies on earth the remaining Bigfoot crew picks them up and whisks them back to Bolok for burial.

"I, for one, welcome our new alien overlords." - Barack Obama

[Thorliveshere]

Shoot. Saw someone already said that. I should know that other Freepers are cleverer and quicker than I. :D

Is it because, if in the event of an alien invasion, we’re more willing to sacrifice Obama than Romney?

[JimC214]

Let's see... the economy is in the toilet, people can't find work. The price of gas is way too high. More and more are joining the welfare rolls. We have a president who talks out of his ass and generally b.s.'s about everything. And THIS is what the press thinks it is important to write about? If there are any aliens out there, please come and invade us. I am sure the resulting carnage and devastation would be an improvement.

[Vaduz]

Nearly 65 percent of respondents were stoned or drunk,result expected.

[This I Wonder32460]

Yes, Obama would put down both a welcome mat and a red carpet to greet the invaders.

[MrB]

You know he’d bow...

[Pearls Before Swine]

Were the poll statistics controlled for idiocy? What sort of subsample of the population bothers to answer a poll question like this?

[dfwgator]

Maybe if we're lucky, life will imitate art.

[SECURE AMERICA]

Makes sense.
Most people know that Obama is an alien himself and other aliens would be more comfortable speaking with him then an American.
