Comparison of Obama and Romney on Al Jazeera

I'm interested to see which candidate some of the members of CYS support. The link has a pretty comprehensive summary of what Obama and Romney stand for.

An outsider's opinion:

Abortion/Birth control: Obama
Debt/Deficit: Obama
Economy: Unsure
Taxes: Obama
Education: Unsure
Environment/Energy: Obama
Foreign policy: Obama
Gun control: Obama
Healthcare: Obama
Immigration: Unsure (don't know much about illegal immigrants. We have asylum seekers coming to Australia all the time but I'd have to know what the situation is like in Mexico that makes the immigrants want to leave and the effect it has on Americans looking for work (that instead gets given to illegal immigrants))
National security: Obama
Role of government: Unsure
Same-sex marriage: Obama
Social Security/Medicare: Unsure

Wow, makes me look like I am a lefty.

Abortion/Birth control: Romney

Debt/Deficit: Romney most likely, but I don't know enough to make a informed decision 

Economy: Unsure
Taxes: Unsure

Education: Unsure
Environment/Energy: I kind of want them to do both, with Romney's being short term and Obama's being long.
Foreign Policy:  Half&Half
Gun Control: Obama
Healthcare: Romney

Immigration: Half&Half
National Security: Half&Half
Role of government: Unsure 
Same-sex marriage: Obama
Social Security/Medicare: Unsure

Stupid double space wont go away

Opinion of another outsider...

Abortion/Birth control: Neither
Debt/Deficit: Obama (obviously)
Economy: Obama
Taxes: Unsure, I'm unfamiliar with taxes in American, but I don't think simply taxing those with money when you need money is the solution
Education: Neither
Environment/Energy: Obama
Foreign policy: Obama
Gun control: Obama
Healthcare: Unsure (Dunno if the health care reform is a good or bad thing there)
Immigration: Romney (Dey took our jobs!)
National security: Obama
Role of government: Obama
Same-sex marriage: Obama
Social Security/Medicare: Unsure
