Barbara Streisand just recorded this video in support of President Barack Obama‘s re-election. After detailing all the reasons she has to vote for Obama, she closes with, “For me the choice is clear. I hope it is for you.”
Those reasons range from Obama’s work that saved us from plunging into a depression and the fact that the economy is getting better, Obama’s support for a woman’s right to choose, his support of Planned Parenthood, contraception rights, LGBT rights, Obamacare, the President’s support of Israel and his work making sanctions against Iran the strongest ever.
Frankly, there really is no choice, except Obama.
Mitt Romney doesn’t have a plan that would work to help the economy and the middle class. His “plans” will plunge America’s poor and middle class into a dire economic condition, Romney would roll back civil rights gains, and Romney would hand this country over to the hard right.
