Obama Wants His Cool Back

President Obama has lost his "cool" vote - the 2008 coalition of young, liberal voters that greatly secured his presidential win. A recent Pew poll reveals that voters under the age of 30 are disenchanted and lagging in enthusiasm, which could severely hurt Democrats in upcoming elections.

The age group has been the strongest for the Democratic Party in the past three elections, especially in 2008. Fox News Exit Polls showed that 66 percent of voters age 18-29 voted for Barack Obama, translating to 15.6 million votes.

Kids Today: "Screw "cool". We want JOBS! Like, deliver, or STFU, Old Man...."

The 18 to 29er’s have figured him out.
Hope for work and hunt for change in your parents couch.

Cool’ or Kool Aid?

Fox News Exit Polls showed that 66 percent of voters age 18-29 voted for Barack Obama, translating to 15.6 million votes.

Problem for Zero is that these 15.6 million young (hopefully erstwhile) idiots are in a 'fool me once - shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me' situation. If they vote for the Democrats again, they're acknowledging that they're doubled dipped fools.

The swooning-at-the-rally thing isn’t working anymore?

Obama has lost his "cool" vote - the 2008

Those idiots who thought he was "cool" in 2008, are out of work in 2010, courtesy of 0bama.

The honeymoon’s over. Get over it Mr. Obama. Everyone who didn’t vote for this guy saw this coming. It was evident with his lack of Executive experience and the fact that his circle of colleagues doesn’t extend beyond Chicago. And we all know how great Chicago is doing.

[Mind Freed]

Not surprised that the generation of “give me” would vote for all of these idiots. I myself am 29, but I had a mother that taught me responsibility and the value of working for what you want.

So, BO’s lost his “cool”? Use an icepack. That’s the only “cool” he’s ever had.

[MrB]

For the “minimally engaged” voter, and the young voter,
the main reason they voted for 0bama was the “hip/cool”
factor

and to be approved by their peers.

Basing one’s political career on 18-29 year-olds is foolish at best. They are notoriously a fickle group, and generally disinterested in politics. Were Pres. Obama not half black, his campaign would have gone the way of McGovern’s. Barack Obama was treated differently because of the colour of his skin. The election of Barack Obama is one of the worst racist events in US history.

Maybe the under 30's thought they were going to score a little of the 7 trillion monopoly money that vanished into thin air.

Obama doesn't understand that the under 30's aren't interested in "shovel ready jobs"

Shovel? . . . what the hell is a shovel?"

[dennisw]

Trying to recycle his greatest hits...
Oboma is a washed up rapper who hasn’t had a hit for a few years. His act is stale. It’s nice to see Obunggle flailing about trying to rev up a crowd with his phony southern inflected preacher voice. What a faker

[dead]

Yeah, Obama and Justin Beiber.

Sucks when the chicks stop screaming. Welcome to Hasbeenville.

[April Lexington]

No employer in its right mind would hire any of these 15.6 million idiots for meaningful work. Be cool. Die broke... Stupid is stupid and I WILL NOT hire anyone who voted to destroy the capitalist system. Why reward them with the benefit of a job in the capitalist system if they don't support the system? Let them join the Peace Corps or some other government dead-end job...

Your competence can make you cool, but your cool doesn’t make you competent.
