For those of you with young liberal contacts, what have you noticed? I tend to hang around with conservatives, but I do notice my liberal nephews and nieces are quieter these days.
The Kool-Aid is wearing off and the Porkulus forgot another $8 billion for the resupply.
I think more young people are realizing the size of our debt and the spending habits of our new debtor in chief and they don’t like it.
If they don’t wake up soon and demand fiscal responsibility they will pay the biggest price in the future after Grandma and Grandpa are long gone as is social security, medicaid/medicare, and the dollar.

Eight years of mindless MSM and pop culture Bush bashing made them ripe for manipulation.
All they wanted was “change”, or they were told that is what they so dearly wanted. They had no idea what it meant or cared beyond the flowery words and being kewl. Now they see things just getting worse and reality is setting in.
You don’t get something for nothing. Obama is not magical.

I’m two years out of college, working in Crook County, 20-25 miles outside Chicago.
Half the guys I work with are city boys who live downtown (commuting an hour+ both directions). They were raised in a bubble and as a result are good little champagne socialists and citizens of the world.
Everything is ill/sick/tight (yo dog!), they argue over celebrity gossip, and talk about politicians with glowing admiration as if they were honest accomplished individuals. They won’t losing their giddiness over the Prom Queen in chief any time soon.
I've noticed that all the libs I know are quieter now.

I know quite a few young liberal college kids here in Austin and many of them are just waiting for the next big thing whether it’s American Idol or next block party.
Obamamania was their so-called Woodstock and most will just out grow it or look back and wonder what the hell was I thinking.
However, the 50 something ex-hippies,war protesters,East side black folk and liberal baby-boomers are still enthralled with Obama.
