I'm always entertained when older folks try to reach out to people my age. It's hardly ever a pretty sight and most of the time these attempts end up being hilarious. I found myself chuckling at Barack Obama's most recent effort to beg young voters to come out to the polls this November.
No one is buying it anymore, especially young people.
Even the most liberal of my generation are frustrated with the President... The radical environmentalists on college campuses across the country were furious when Obama opened up the coasts for limited drilling.
Young Americans are realizing they did not get the politician they bargained for.
Better yet, some of us are realizing that the Obama presidency is punishing our future. Down the road, we will be the ones forced to pay off the record-breaking deficits and debt that Obama's budgets and trillion-dollar spending programs are leaving us.
There is little doubt that Obama will have a hard time reconnecting with the new voters he had in 2008. While he may get the koolaid-drinkers, it appears most everyone else is dissatified with him and his policies.

A simply wonderful line, HerrBlucher; too correct to be believed by the American people.
“Better yet, some of us are realizing that the Obama presidency is punishing our future.”
Some of us?? Good luck here because if it is just some then it is not good. But loads of other idiots have no clue because like almost all TV viewers - they are brainwashed. Even so called conservatives watching Fox/Saudia keep watching the liars and paying $50 to 100 a month in their money to have their lives destroyed. Good luck.
As bad as that it, they were voting to slap GWB around more than they were voting for Obama. I still believe that GWB is responsible for these horrors though his inaction.
He doesn't look so cool on a T shirt anymore. He's just some old guy who won't shut up.
Idiots using FaceBook are having info about them resold.
Actually, only Republicans are blamed for high gas prices. Democrats always get off scott free courtesy of the American people.
Me too.
There are two things which seem to be downplayed in the media coverage:
1) the cause
2) the victims.
When the coalminers died, you would see footage of people taking to their families, and occasional shots of their funerals. Now there’s nothing about these dead oilmen.
Why?
“Young People Deserting Obama”
“Corrected title: “Obama Destroying Young People””
Young people and all Americans easily fooled by TV propaganda and inane crap for the masses like: iPods & music/liberal bands, Hollywood’s crap, ALL TV, ball games, and other crap.
...”didn’t you kids study history?”
Um, it’s now called Social Studies, not History.
Most of the college kids needed to look for summer jobs on spring break, or they’re out of luck.
This year my two college aged kids were lucky, but gone are the days when they would just turn up somewhere and get a job on the spot. They had to hustle.
As long as you’re going there, you can also lay some blame on McCain for being a weak opponent, IMO.
>>My kids all voted for Obama.
At least you’ll be able to needle them for a long time.
Perfect line with no comeback -
“What the heck do you know, kid, you voted for Obama”.
“blame on McCain for being a weak opponent”...
I will never vote for a RINO again.
And if you’re Obama, you have no courage. Where’s the Wizard of Oz when we need him?
Actually, it's been that way since Adam and Eve.
I thought they were both in the Whig party. ;-)
My foolish college student son came home with advertising from the Obama Campaign promising all the college students a $500 check if they voted for Obama.
I actually saw the damn thing, with the quote from Obama.
Needless to say it was a total lie.
It's actually been that way for a long time. I even took Social Studies in 1969 at a Union Free Public School.
Disco sucks.
All that youthful liberalism is programmed over 12-16 years of schooling.
It’s unnecessary in the first place. Conservatism works and is based on Natural Law.
That we allow quacks called teachers to lead kids down the deadend path of libearalism is a national crime.
