“Youngster”.

Perhaps we can persuade them to quit voting for folks who have never had a real job, have never had a real intelligence, and have never had real morals.

In short, quit voting for liberals. They’ve NEVER run a country profitably, successfully, or even morally.

This is the generation that’s been conned into going into hopeless debt for college educations. As a generation, they’ll never get out from under.

From Drudge:

13,500,000 Millennials Live in Poverty...
46,000,000 Americans on Food Stamps...
65% of Children Live in Households on Federal Aid Programs...

Hopey-Changey...
The “Fundamental Transformation of America!” into a Democrat-voting dependency state.

Nobody ever said Obola’s “change” was going to be a good thing.

Haiti has poverty.

“Poverty” in this country means only having one big-screen TV.

All these news stories were held back before the election. before the election the “news” was all Ebola, a football player hitting his wife in an elevator, robbin wiliams etc. all to hide the economy and real issues for the election. now all these “important” news stories like ebola are nowhere to be seen

the media is the problem and the enemy

That’s one of the brilliant calculations of Obamacare.

When the kiddies get uneasy over grandma’s early demise, POTUS Warren will send out Groupons for student loan forgiveness.
