Americans favor Obama to defend against space aliens: poll
2012-06-28
[Yahoo] Nearly two in three Americans think President Barack Obama is better suited than Republican rival Mitt Romney to deal with an alien invasion, according to a survey released Wednesday.
We don't have a graphic for "Stoopid Crap that Means Squat." I guess I should work on it.
National Geographic Channel contacted 1,114 adults across the United States last month for its fanciful opinion poll ahead of its new cable television documentary series "Chasing UFOs."

Thirty-six percent of respondents said they were certain that unidentified flying objects exist. Eleven percent were confident they had spotted a UFO, and 20 percent said they knew someone who claimed to have seen one.

With Obama facing re-election in November, 65 percent said Obama would be more adept than Romney to respond to an alien invasion, with women and younger Americans more likely than men and over-65s to agree with that prospect.

#10  Every time I read National Geographic I end up thinking the sky is falling. But then I go outside and see that the sky is right where it should be. You know...up there. That makes me feel better and then it's quite some time before I'm tempted to read it again. They have some great photography so it's kinda the opposite of what people used to say about Playboy.

#8  The poll had a margin of error of 2.9 percent.

A meaningless statistic since the poll is meaningless. Moreover, Obama is an alien from Kenya.

#7  A lotta time on their hands over at National Geographic?

Got to give the rube something to distract them after their latest Peak Oil has crashed again. Is this like the third time they've played that narrative?
