Naive college kids don’t realize that big-government servitude awaits
President Obama needs to reinvent reality, so where does he go? A college campus. And why not? With gas doubling in price toward $4 a gallon, what better place to talk energy than to backpacking cyclists at trendy, urban Georgetown University? It's a far friendlier crowd than, say, one composed of truckers, commuters or laid-off workers.
Besides, the last time Mr. Obama spoke at Georgetown, on April 14, 2009, college officials complied with a White House request to cover up pesky Christian symbols behind the presidential podium. Georgetown is a very friendly place for the O Force...

Unemployment was 25.7 in February for teenagers and 15.7 percent for those 20 to 24 years old, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Recent college grads are despairing of landing anything above the fast-food counter, where they face stiff competition from millions of recent immigrants...

"We've got to discover cleaner, renewable sources of energy that also produce less carbon pollution, which is threatening our climate. And we've got to do it quickly."
And then he issued the "don't ask what your car can do for you, but what you can do for your car" pitch, warning students that they had better buy the kind of vehicle Washington wants them to buy.
What he didn't say was that it's tough to buy any kind of car if you don't have a job.

I expect the government to come up with a “deal” to
forgive student loans in exchange for government service.
Watch for it.
If you don’t raise them up in the way they should go, be afraid. Be very afraid!
The kids have been kept in the dark way too long.
Georgetown and Notre Dame need to be taken in hioand by the Catholics/.
Letting Muslims speak and giving them awards is no way to run a Catholic school.
You love your job.
So is enlistment down since 2008?
Twitter, and Facebook and fixed voting booths is how BO could win this thing again.
At first, I thought there would be no way to mobilize the same number of idiots that he did in ‘08, but all it would take are strategic twitters days before the ‘12 election to get them all riled up enough to get them to the voting booths.
Changing health insurance to cover "little ones" under their parents until age 26 is a clue.
Perhaps the age of voting should become 26 too?
For several generations now. The revisionists and brain washers have had their day with our kids. It is high time every single American read, “The Light and the Glory”, by Peter Marshall and David Manuel. A concise, extreemly well researched, amazingly written history of America since l492. I double-dog dare ya to buy it, or have it downloaded immediately onto your kindle!
“Obama’s energetic war on the young - Naive college kids don’t realize that big-government...”
These kids can’t think for themselves because of the overwhelming amount ot socialist/liberal teachers that have brianwashed them through the years.

I didn’t know it was on Kindle. Thanks.
And a slack freaking job by their half assed parents.Make the kids pay for some of their school would be a hell of a start.
obama and GE have infiltrated popular youtube videos with their infomercials at the beginning. It’s disgusting how they are indoctrinating young people. I’m talkin “Chicken Fried” not rap.
Is this some sort of joke?
pitching nanny government to college students is like shooting fish in a barrel
Fixed voting booths would be too obvious in most of the country, IMHO.

Some think Obama lost almost all of the "Jacksonian Democrats." That's not unreasonable when you think about what he's done to the coal industry. He's also lost a lot of support among working class whites and suburbanites. The college graduates since 2009 don't have much to be grateful for with respect to jobs. I wouldn't be so pessimistic about 2012.
