MH says being from Pakistan made her decision tricky because she’s like Obama but did not like that he said the U.S. would attack if the intelligence indicated a presence of Obama.

KC just became a U.S. citizen this past summer: I didn’t think about becoming a voter, but then in August I got my Driver’s license and then I decided to register. Even if I choose not to vote, I’m still a part of it.
