They were just starting their business back then and some thought thought everything would come up roses with him in the White House.
They have been watching the news and listening to his speeches for three years, they said and are not going to vote for him again.
Lot of that going around. Young people of all persuasions are seeing harder times. Coming out of college things look rougher than ever and the gloss is off the hype.
It’s a demographic that will see one of two major occurrences: lower voting for Obama moving to Romney and others who don’t go to vote.
Thanks for sharing your depot at Home Depot. Perfect place to hear what people think, an apolitical environment where people casually express thoughts.
This is not exactly the same thing as you’re talking about, but related. I was watching a video w/my almost-11 year old Granddaughter about a family that were bakers. They were making a cake commemorating “Sesame Street” on the anniversary of the show. They had puppets of some of the characters. One of them was “Cookie Monster”. Anyway, we were talking about the Cookie Monster, and how the so-called “Veggie Monster” was now taking his place. This was done, I think, about a year ago. However, this family was a big fan of the Cookie Monster.
My Granddaughter, out of the blue, started going off on Michele Obama! (laugh)She claims that Mrs. Obama caused the CM to be replaced by VM, and she was furious as she was talking about it! She said many of the kids she knew would NOT watch “Sesame Street” anymore, because they were mad at the people who made the show for taking off Cookie M., and replacing him with Veggie Monster!
But get this: They were even more angry with the First Lady, thinking that she was the one that caused C. Monster to be taken off! That was a surprise! A lot of my Grandkids’ friends were not fans anymore of the show, (or Mrs. Obama) for that! I guess it was due to this healthy eating initiative that brought that about, and lots of young kids were mad! I laughed to myself about it, thinking that if even many young kids are mad; they (The Obamas) are in double-trouble with these young citizens!
