“Whether the young are getting it or not about Obama I will say that they seem to be predisposed to distrust those they view as “old” white guys.”
I am one of the old white guys (well, mostly) and I don’t trust them either!
It’s a national tragedy what is happening to these young people ....and to a lot of other older folks as well. Although now my own 19 year old is suffering, and he wasn’t able to vote last time.
But I don’t feel the LEAST sorry for them. I lost count of how many nasty looks, comments, and arguments I got at work as I argued with so many of them prior to the 2008 election. They mocked and ridiculed Palin every Monday a.m. after their Saturday Night Live viewings ... most of them sneered when I even merely mentioned that it was not wise to head our country in this direction. I was the silly old “white lady” conservative at work. One of the rare ones.
I hope they all rot a while ...at least suffer enough pain that they NEVER forget that their vote had consequences.
