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:

Drilling down, I see that 85% of women under thirty favor Obama over Romney to handle an alien invasion.

Now what does that tell you?

Seeing Jack Nicholson pictured upthread, I am also put in mind of another film of his, As Good As It Gets. And a particular line of dialogue concerning "reason and accountability" which seems appropriate, given your question.

I think that the level of intellect of Americans is at an all time low.

Also, the level of immaturity.

I am always appalled when I bump into ‘made for TV’ programming while I am looking for something else.

It reminds me of the reallllly bad movies and TV programs in the 70’s.

The dialogue is ALWAYS wise-a$#, childish, smart-alek banter and the actors are ALWAYS a kind of second or third hand version of what some Hollywood producer thinks is ‘hip’ THIS WEEK!

Of course if you ever have occasion to talk to a young person or over hear their conversations, they ape all this BS behavior and speech. They conduct their lives and personal relationships at this level. We are in for it from THIS generation! All idiots

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

"ACK ACK ACK ".
