Can I be the announcer over the tannoy? I can do a vaguely eastern european accent. And can count backward from 20. Above 20, not so good. Hope this doesn't rule me out.

Not trying to be cynical, but apart from domestic policy (kicking the healthcare bill into the long grass) I don't think there will be much difference between the two internationally.
I'm guessing Romney might be more likely to drop GW Bush style gaffes than Obama, but the message on the middle east and China will not be very different.

romney seems to be all about the rich getting richer and screw the rest. where america leads, england tends to follow. either way, it's looking bad. i'm advising my clients to put all their money into canned goods and shotguns!

There are very few altruistic millionaires these days, off the top of my head the only one I can think of is Bill Gates. The millionaires of the last century built parks and civic buildings, schools and libraries. Today the rich seem happier spending it on themselves. Romney is part of this selfish group.
