Two-Thirds of Americans Think Barack Obama Is Better Suited to Handle an Alien Invasion Than Mitt

WASHINGTON, June 27, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- According to a new U.S. extraterrestrial survey from National Geographic Channel (NGC), more than 80 million Americans are certain that UFOs exist. In fact, many believe in tangible proof that aliens have landed on Earth and think that government officials are involved in covering up paranormal activities. Moreover, most citizens would not mind a minor alien invasion, because they expect these space-age visitors to be friendly—like the lovable character depicted in Steven Spielberg's popular film "E.T."

Survey results also reveal that more than one-third (36%) of Americans believe UFOs exist. More than one in 10 (11%) are confident that they have spotted a UFO, and one in five (20%) know someone who claims to have seen one.

- Despite the popularity of "Avengers" and "Twilight," more than seven in 10 (71%) Americans think that aliens are more likely to exist than are superheroes, vampires and zombies. Furthermore, if aliens attacked our planet, more than one in five (21%) would most likely call on the Hulk to deal with the havoc. Far fewer would most trust Batman (12%) or Spiderman (8%) to step in.

- In regards to national security, nearly two-thirds (65%) of Americans think Barack Obama would be better suited than fellow presidential candidate Mitt Romney to handle an alien invasion. In fact, more than two in three (68%) women say that Obama would be more adept at dealing with an alien invasion than Romney, vs. 61 percent of men. And more younger citizens, ages 18 to 64 years, than those aged 65+ (68% vs. 50%) think Romney would not be as well-suited as Obama to handle an alien invasion.

Hell 0bama would grant them amnesty and register them to vote for Democrats.

This poll is just stupid to begin with.

There is a type of safeguard with having Obama as prez.  If aliens were to arrive and say "Take us to your leader," upon meeting Obama they'd count our world too stupid to be bothered with and leave.

I think this is because an alien invasion is a fictional concept that more aptly expresses 0bama's fictional nature.

I mean, I never saw that movie where a black President saved the world from a meteor strike but isn't that pretty much what 0bama promised to do? Isn't that the POTUS 0bama promised to be?

Of course, "alien invasion" could simply be a dog whistle for "Kenyan moslem taking over the White House."

There's this great story by Fred Brown, I think, where aliens abduct a monkey from the Milwaukee County zoo and decide they are too stupid and too unruly to make a proper slave race and so the aliens leave.

No Superman?

[Duke Nukum]

I think some think-tank or super computer when given the problem of an alien invasion came up with unconditional surrender, so for that 0bama would be well suited.

This poll is just stupid to begin with.

I heard some of the other findings on Fox this morning, it was pretty clear that a majority of the respondents thought so too and just gave the most off-the-wall responses they could.

THATS RACIST!!!!.......I think

Not yet the end, I think that was.  Brown was very good at the short, short story.

What's funnier about that story is the "media" decides to run a story about a convention instead of the missing monkeys, never knowing just how important the monkey story really was to mankind.

Anyway, back on topic, this might just be the dumbest survey I've ever heard of.

My thoughts exactly

Another possibility is when the aliens arrive, and say "Take us to your leader," upon meeting Obama they'd count our world too stupid to survive and blast us into atoms.

Let's hope they don't visit the DUmp first.

I think it was Twilight Zone that had the "To serve Man" episode. I thought it was excellent and well worth a watch if you've never seen it.

I actually encountered a question like that once from an Air Force Captain of all things.  It amounted to "What would we be able to do in the event a Starship like the Enterprise shows up and demands our surrender?" 

My answer, "I would recommend immediate surrender followed by quickly and quietly dispersing every physicist, engineer, and technician.  We should have stolen enough tech in three or four years to make them miserable." 

Essentially, the same answer Haji came up with regarding us.

Netflix and Amazon Prime have all the early Twilight Zone episodes (I think it was only on for three seasons).

Who better to meet space aliens than a spacey president.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Alien Invasion, schmalien invasion.  What I want to know is who is the best leader for the inevitable Zombie Apocalypse.

"I am prepared to go to Uranus and do whatever it takes to push back!"

"We choose to do those things that are hard." H

Hell, just ask any woman, those are the only kind to do.

[thundley4]

People were just confused about the movie "Independence Day".  They thought Will Smith was the president in that, and since both he an Obama are black.....

Well, you know how people think.

"IT'S A COOK BOOK!!!"    

One of my favorite episodes.  Along with the one with Burgess Meredith as the bank teller that survives a nuclear strike, finally has all the time in the world to read, and breaks his glasses.

Hey that sounds like an old episode of "The Night Gallery". I believe it was Betty Davis playing the lead. She was a rich old, blind, bitch with a lot of art work she couldn't see. She "bought" some poor souls eyes for a transplant. The problem was that she'd only be able to see for a few hours before going blind again. So she got the operation and didn't want anyone around while see enjoyed looking at her works of art. The wrappings came off after dark and she was able to see well. She ran everyone out and sat down amongst her works of art.....and the lights went out. They had had a citywide power failure. When the power came back on about daylight she went blind before getting to see her art.
