Barak Obama believes that utmost caution should be taken with death penalties, and that there are certain rare occurrences when death penalty can be a viable option. However, Barak Obama does not in any way favor death – penalty. Mitt Romney, on the other hand, believes that death penalty should be utilized with terrorists whose crimes are considered immoral and inhumane to common society’s standards. I personally believe that death penalty is more of a present to the criminals who are sentenced with it. In my opinion, a lifetime sentence in a top security level prison contains a lot more suffering in it than a death penalty. Obama’s position on death penalty, therefore, causes more pain and suffering to the criminals that are charged with these crimes. Many prisoners who are sentenced for life go through mental breakdowns, and their fellow inmates abuse even more of the crimes they committed. In this way, Mitt Romney is contributing more compassion and mercy to the law system than Obama. To add to this, by administering terrorists and conspirators with the death penalty, the government is safekeeping the country from further damage caused by these men. Since terrorists and conspirators are usually backed up by hostile nations or other criminal organizations, a life sentence in a prison is not a guaranteed quarantine for them.
