We got more and more evidence that this is not 2008:
"Across this state — and in others where young voters were the fuel of the Obama organization, voting for him two to one over John McCain — the enthusiastic engine of the 2008 campaign has run up against the reality of a deadened job market for college students." (NYTimes)
Moral of the story: Be careful with the guy who tells you what you want to hear.....he will likely disappoint you.
Beyond the bleak jobs picture, I think that a lot of young people voted for candidate BO because they really thought that he was different.
Unfortunately for them, and not surprising for those of us who were very skeptical of "hope and change", Pres BO has turned out to be a rather cynical politician.
In fact, he has taken 'crony capitalism" to a new level, such as we see with Solyndra and all of the other federal loan guarantees that "coincidentally" went to his big campaign contributors.
Obama got his political training in Chicago, one of the most corrupt cities in the country. Obama was given a "free pass" on so much of his past, including the relationship with the very racist Rev Wright. Obama was also allowed by the media to make outrageous promises, such as closing GITMO.
It took a while but the young people are starting to get it.
"HOPE and CHANGE" was and continues to be a FRAUD!
Last, but not least, let me remind you that I voted for McCain, or the only candidate in 2008 who did not tell people what they wanted to hear.
