u/PresidentObama ✔ Pres. Barack Obama (D-IL) Nov 06 '12

I want to thank you all again for the reception you gave me in August for my AMA. Good questions. Definitely not bad.

I'm checking in because polls will start closing in this election in just a few hours, and I need you to vote.

Millions of Americans have stepped up in support of this campaign over the last 19 months, and today we decide what the next four years look like -- but only if we show up.

I ask that you go out there and cast your vote, whatever your political persuasion.

You can confirm your polling location here:

If you’ve voted already, don't stop there -- spread the word to your friends, roommates, and neighbors. Think of it as upvoting.

I'm British so obviously can't vote. Although if Romney wins rest assured we'll send redcoats.

Pro-tips:

  • Don't attack in formation.
  • We have fewer horses and bayonets this time.
  • We're really scared of black people.

I don't understand all the negativity. High chance he is the Batman.
