Snowden has a weight on him if he is trying to reach the millions of young people who voted for Obama. Probably explains why he did say in one of his interviews that the younger generation must become better informed because they are on the path in losing their basic freedom and rights. Obama was/is a great manipulator. He was suppose to undo Bush’s overreaches and bring the country together.
You’re right. Obama knew just what to say, how to say, how to present himself and the younger generation fell for it. I can understand when compared with Bush, Obama seemed like a fresh new face, and most younger voters had already been conditioned by the public school system and our pop culture to be low hanging fruit for the likes of Obama. I feel sorry for them, actually. The future they face is pretty dismal but I suppose few will make the connection between that and Obama’s policies.
