Will the youth of this generation be duped again? Will their votes be influenced by cool, trendy ads and liberal celebrity tweets? Will they be bought by popular singers at free concerts? Will MTV and the Get Out The Vote campaigns be enough to convince them once again to come out enmasse and vote for a man because Snoop-Dog said to?
While it’s clear that the youth vote absolutely helped Obama win the presidency, with over 24 million people between the ages of 18-29 voting in the 2008 election, some new polls are saying it won’t be happening again- at least on that scale. In fact, I recently posted and commented on a new clip circulating the country:
A whole lot of young people bought into the celebrity factor of Obama during the election season and now with 20% youth unemployment and saddled with a $118,000 debt PER PERSON from the government, they are wiping their koolaid stained lips and waking up to the facts! Better late than never to realize that elections have consequences. This is a great 30 second clip from the young people of America telling Obama in their break up message, “Then you started spending all my money and telling me what to do all the time. You are being a control freak! You wanted to my doctor, you wanted to be my banker, where are the jobs at? It’s not me…it’s definitely YOU! It’s over!“ Watch clip.
However, that certainly isn’t stopping the Obama campaign train from already doing what they can to re-solidify that vote. In fact, the AP reported:
"President Barack Obama was addressing supporters at a hip hop concert and rally Thursday night, seeking to re-energize the youth vote that helped propel him to the White House
The Democratic National Committee enlisted hip hop artist B.o.B to perform for a sold-out crowd of 3,000 at DAR Constitution Hall. The crowd also was hearing from Obama’s 2008 campaign manager, David Plouffe (pluhf), and DNC Chairman Tim Kaine on the importance of the youth vote to the November elections, which are expected to be tough on Democrats."
Their tactics are shameless and often so cheesy you can’t resist a massive eye-roll. For example, take the ploy by the DNC that we’ve recently seen that involves recruiting Justin Beiber! Politico writes:
"The organization is highlighting a submission to its VoteAgain2010 video contest that argues that while Bieber can’t vote in our midterms (he’s both too young and too Canadian), shouldn’t you?
“This isn’t your standard election year video of celebrities asking you to vote,” the ad says. “It’s us, asking you to vote for celebrities who can’t, celebrities like Justin Bieber. Bieber’s too young to vote, yet whomever we elect in the 2010 midterm elections will impact his future and ours. … So tell your parents, your grandparents, your Facebook friends. … If they won’t do it for you, ask them to do it for Bieber.”
How many parents do you know who will actually cast a vote because their love-struck, pre-pubescent, teeny-bopper daughter asked them to it for Beiber? Yes, a boy that can escape to Canada and avoid the consequences of that very vote. This reeks of pathetic desperation and a possible worry that must be resonating on the heels of some of the latest Rasmussen polls that shows that the Democrats could lose at least 20 points off the youth vote.
At some point, everyone wakes up and smells the coffee…even the small-thinking youth of today. Better late than never.

If young people love poverty, eventual chaos and anarchy, no hope, no future and no place to flee to, then Obamao is their man.
Obama copntrols TV with the elites and Islamic oil money - ALL 6 networks including Fox.
The idiots who watch TV are sheep.
Here is how voting was in Indianapolis Monday:
Excerpt from article: “Still, it’s hard to say whether Monday’s uneventful start will set the tone for the next month.”
Hey kids, how’s that unemployment working out? Are you hopeful now?
Ping
Ping
The celebrities of today are by and large morons.
They are brain dead idiots who are mostly spoiled brats who are all about a sense of selfish entitlement, self aggrandizement and self satisfaction that is so mind numbing they cannot or refuse to think rationally.
Drugs have turned them into zombie sheep who are dead men walking.
The ‘youth’ don’t vote...
