poll data suggest that some youngsters who voted for Obama in 2008 may be sadder but wiser today:

Not my nephew and his wife...

A younger friend of mine is about to graduate college; his older brother continued on to a good Texas law school and graduated second in his class and has aced the bar exam.

He has no job offers whatsoever.

My friend was about to follow the same path (their father is a lawyer) but has decided instead, since there are no likely job prospects for him when he would graduate law school, that he will go into the extremely lucrative title running/landman business for the oil industry for at least a few years until Obama is gone and the economy settles out. Most of his classmates are staring down the barrel of enormous student loans they can’t pay back for years assuming they can find a job, which they can’t.

Two things are apparent from this:
1. We’ve apparently reached the saturation point for lawyers.
2. Obama and the Dems have screwed up the economy so badly that their former voters can’t get jobs but they can’t qualify for welfare or unemployment either. They are seriously unhappy about now.

I would like to believe the author's conclusions but I have seen no evidence that the younger generations have wised up. They are definitely dissatisfied, but that is because they thought electing Obama would benefit them personally and it has not. As for wiser, I believe they will simply fall for the next guy promising to take from those that have, and give it to them.

By the time our children are stuck with the bill, with interest, liberals like Anthony Weiner, Barney Frank and Barack Obama will be long gone.

It is called the pain of a bad decision.

As with any generation, some get it and some don’t. The young generation isn’t a toilet flush by any stretch of the imagination.

As if anyone younger than 65 has any right to talk anyway.

Young people made up about 18 percent of the electorate in 2008, and Obama won this age bracket by 34 percentage points. The president will be hard-pressed to do that again in 2012.

After 4 years, those who were in the age group of 18-24 are in the 22-28 age group and there's a brand new bunch of dumasses in the 18-24 group.

Had an interesting conversation with a young man last Saturday. He looked around 25 yo, bi-racial, had tattoos. He saw my bumper sticker that says, “No Obamanation: Against Socialism, For American Values”. He looked at me and said, “I agree with everything your bumper sticker says.” We had a good conversation. He admitted the Obummer was no good and had fooled him into voting for him in 2008, and he said he wouldn’t be making that mistake again. I came away thinking, “the healing has begun”.

the younger people of today have never known a world as an adult where they could get a job and make a life for themselves.

They voted for change... they just didn’t know at the time that it would be a change for the worse.

The brain washing of students are now intensified in the school system. I hold little hope that enough of them will be informed that their liberal criminals in power have shoved them under the bus. The realization may take a few years but when they learn being in debt and unable to get credit for major purchases will be coming. So, youngsters, soak up the freebies like student loans etc, it will catch up to you.

Every idiot under the age of 30 needs to be shown how his/her vote for obama has come back to bite him/her in the ass. Next time maybe they'll think before they suck.

Are Young People Wising Up?

They've always been wiser than many people think. The question should be: Are the Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms finally falling flat on their faces in their relentless effort to portray a handful of college Trotsky Club goofballs as representative of American "young people"?

Most young people haven’t been hit enough to wise up yet. I was different (had to run the farm at 14), but most of my classmates believed the “lets pretend” from the DNC.
