Majority of Americans Think Obama Is Better Suited To Handle an Alien Invasion

Geoffrey.landis writes "At last, a public opinion poll that gets the opinions of ordinary Americans on the issues that matter! Apparently, two thirds of Americans polled think that Barack Obama is better suited to defend against an alien invasion than Mitt Romney, according to a survey from National Geographic Channel, done to tout their upcoming TV series 'chasing UFOs'. In follow-up questioning, Americans would rather call on the Hulk (21%) than either Batman (12%) or Spiderman (8%) to save the day. No word on which candidate is most fit to defend America against shambling hordes of undead seeking to destroy civilization in the zombie apocalypse (perhaps that will be brought out in the debates)." The real question of course is how Obama would handle Galactus.

Yeah It Was in that Last Debate on ONN

Mediator: First I ask the former Governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney, how would you handle an alien invasion?
Mitt Romney: Simple, I'd shoot them.
Mediator: And to you, Mr. President, how would you handle an alien invasion?
Barack Obama: *pauses* Instead of shooting where they are ... *even longer pause* .. I would shoot at where they are going to be.
Crowd: *breaks out in rapturous applause*
Mitt Romney: Oh, come on, of course that's what I meant as well. I mean, I'd probably have the military figure all that out or pay someone in rubies or chickens or beads or whatever the hell it is you poor people are spending at Wal-Mart these days.
Crowd: *boos loudly*
Crowd Member #1: Oh, that Romney, I don't like him. I don't like him at all.
Crowd Member #2: I've never seen a Mormon kill anyone -- let alone an alien. Have you?
Crowd Member #3: I'd bet all my Wal-Mart rubies he doesn't win.

Vasquez's problem?

But at least we know Obama's human. The jury's out on Romney.

He's from Hawaii genius.

So he says, but have you ever been to Hawaii? Are you sure Hawaii exists? And even if it does exist, how do we know it's a state? Have you seen the papers that established the state of Hawaii or just reproductions of these so-called papers.

This is why the only person who is really equipped to handle an alien invasion is America's Sheriff, Joe Arpaio. If the aliens land in Maricopa County, they'll say, "Gawd it's hot here, and the people are assholes! Let's go back to that Nazi base on the dark side of the Moon. Those guys know how to party!" Then, they'd give Arpaio the finger and engage their warp engines.

[As a side note, I really don't want to go read this article, but can we agree that the National Geographic should be absolutely ashamed of having anything to do with a public opinion poll on which candidate would be best suited to handle an alien invasion? Didn't the National Geographic used to deal with serious topics and occasional pictures of pygmy breasts? What's the deal? I mean, Alexander Graham Bell was one of the first presidents of the National Geographic Society for chrissake. The History Channel, I can understand. They're just a cable TV network, so they've got zero credibility, but the National Geographic? I've got one of their topographical maps of the oceans taped to my wall right here. I actually learned stuff from the National Geographic at one time.

I guess they figured that the US presidential race still needed a little more triviality and bullshit. Sometimes, I can really understand why so many people believe our culture is in such a steep decline. Are we sure that it's not a typo and was supposed to say "National Enquirer" instead of National Geographic? I guess at least we can be sure it wasn't Rasmussen or Fox News doing the poll, because then the headline would have said "Americans trust Romney more than Obama to protect nation from alien threat by a jillion percent!" Then, they'd show pictures of the two candidates with the photo of Obama darkened and the caption, "Osama - (D)"]
