Obama’s grip on younger voters slips (nearly half would recall the Kenyan)
Boston Globe ^ | 1/12/14 | Matt Viser

**SNIP**

In a detailed, national poll released last month by Harvard’s Institute of Politics, nearly half of young voters said they would recall President Obama if they could. Only 41 percent approved of the job Obama was doing, an 11-point drop from six months earlier.

It’s a trend line that top Democrats are worried about, and one that top Republicans are trying to exploit leading into the 2014 midterm elections.

“People should be concerned about those numbers,” said Tad Devine, a longtime Democratic strategist. “We’ve got to make sure young voters understand the stakes.”

Hopefully they’ll also turn on the celebrities and various loudmouths who sold them Obama, too.

Thats alright. Obama still has a tight enough grip on enough gope balls he wont be impeached.

It appears that they are starting to.

I really don’t give a RATZ butt what these idiots want or don’t want.

They DIDN’T LISTEN! They voted this imposter in, now, they have “buyer’s remorse” in a really big way.

I hope these people suffer severely for their stupidity. Although I will suffer too, I’m too old to give a RATZ ‘A’ anymore.

I agree..Obam knows what cords to hit when it comes to the youth today..they are very easily miss-led...he knows what buttons to push and most are ripe to believe anything they’re told, even when deceived prior....after all they’re in the “Love and forgive everybody Mode”...which is really easier than the hard work of taking a stand.

““We’ve got to make sure young voters understand the stakes.””

More bullshot about voting your “lady parts”?

A young person in a sane time would be insulted by these bastards.

...”If they’re mad now, just wait till they get the bill”...

Nah....Obamas already blaming the Insurance companies and the states so they’ll once again fall in line behind him. Especially when he’s convinced them, for their own good, he’ll save them under single payer. They’re all into being “fair”.

By the way have you noted how often Obama and dems are using the word “Fair”?

What a joke. Orly Taitz aside (snort), he’s in for the duration. Here’s a newsflash for you all: the youngsters don’t care, and he don’t care.

You don’t have to be too old to think and feel that way. ....our society is primed well to swallow “what’s good for them” no matter how hard it goes down...and even smile while they’re doing it!

Exactly. And once Jon Stewart blames the Republicans for Obamacare, everything else will become meaningless. (And the Boston Globe can kma).

Their problem with Obama is that he’s not left enough

To be fair, yes.

This is why they’re called useful idiots, they don’t even know why they should be disillusioned. They voted in a guy that has no concern for the rule of law. That should be at the top of the list.

The NSA? That’s not a problem for a generation that has no concern for posting every moment of their lives online. Healthcare? No concern when you’re on your parents plan until you’re 65 ;) or you just don’t pay for it.

Obama’s use of the “pen” can solve gridlock for them though. He’ll have the idiots back in the foal by November, not to worry.

The website roll out is a major factor. These young voters are very tech and internet savvy. A screwed up website just tells them you are old, stupid, incompetent and irrelevant.

If you can’t get the interwebs to work, you’ll get no respect from this group.

So what, he got their votes in 2012 and if they have “buyers remorse no” it doesn't make any difference.

They'll still swallow the lie, “he was just too idealistic” and vote for a less obviously narcissistic democrat fascist party candidate who knows how to package their lies to suit the crowd who live in electronic bubbles. A couple of generations of people in this country have had it so good until now that they still don't realize that all the pictures of reality in the world aren't the same as wading neck deep in reality day after day.
