Am I wrong for wanting Romney to win?

I'm just so sick of Obama and his selfishness, he is just kinda slow for me and he doesn't respond like a president should, and then I feel like he's also being controlled by big corporations as well.

It is not Obama who is controlled by big corporations. It is the entire American 'democratic' government which has been for a long time largely controlled by those who have the money to donate to and fund the election process, pay for lobbyists and generally 'sweet talk' members of Congress into voting their way. A president actually has very little real power, though he may appear to direct policies and to be able to put his signature to bills.
I can confidently say that you will be NO better off with Romney than you have been with Obama, in fact I have seen a number of instances where Romney has obscured and misstated statistics so as to put Obama's record in a bad light. I will not say that all politicians are creeps and I certainly don't claim that any of them are perfect but Obama has actually done a lot more for your country than many are willing to admit.

I stopped believing politicians and teh games they play. I ignore them. They make decisions to help their pockets and the pockets of big companies. We (citizens) really have no say in their decisions. All we can do is protest and it doens't always help.
They are all liers. Don't believe anything they say.
