With his support rapidly drying up among almost every group, Barack Obama has turned to the so- called “youth vote.” He has personally visited or sent a representative to 130 college campuses across the country since March 2011. His obvious plan is to use the same lies he told in 2008 to appeal to people who have no life experience and don’t know any better. “They believed it then, maybe they’ll believe it now” is the Obama campaign motto, but is it working? Not yet, and nothing on the horizon suggests it will.
In 2008, whatever Obama told the empty-headed college kids worked. As the quintessential political prostitute, Obama put on ANY dress his customers wanted him to wear. “Lower student loan rates than those evil Republicans want you to have? You bet!” “More free stuff from the government? Coming right up!” “I’m the one you’ve been waiting for, can’t you see that?” “Blah blah blah, hope and change blah blah blah, you know what THAT means don’t you?” They didn’t, but that made no difference because voting for a black man PROVED that their generation was better than their parents’ generation. They ate up Obama’s Hope and Change babble and marched like zombies to vote for a man whom they really had no information about. Obama won their vote 2 to 1.
Today, all of that is gone. A new Gallup survey holds devastating news for Obama and his party regarding the 18 to 29 year old vote: only 60% are registered to vote, and of that, only 56% report they are likely to vote in November. Since that’s 56% of 60%, Obama is getting just 35% of the youth vote. That fact renders the “youth vote” that still goes 2 to 1 for Obama meaningless at best.
At the other end of the age scale, 92% of those 65 and over are registered to vote, and 86% of them are “definitely” voting in November. When they do, they will be voting 52/40 for Mitt Romney.
Obama’s empty “Hope and Change” produced three miserable results: it kept college graduates out of work, it put their parents out of work, and it forced their grandparents back to work.
With 50% of recent college graduates out of work and Wal Marts staffed by people who either had to return to work or were never able to retire since Obama came to office, these numbers are likely to get worse for Obama and better for Romney.
Call this what you’d like, but “Grandparents’ revenge” sounds about right.

I hope and pray it doesn’t but children are children none the less they forget things very very easily.
YOUTH IS WASTED ON THE YOUNG!!!
That statement still holds today sad but true.
If I thought one of my sons would vote for obama after what he has put our family though and our nation and after being told the truth about obama, I would, in all good conscience: take their cars, their college fees and tuitions and let them be out there to learn about life. I am lucky, they have all told me they see the truth. They are grieving, along with me, the destruction of our country and our culture; everything we stand for.
It’s nice that your children appreciate and “grieve” for what we are losing. But that isn’t enough! Americans, REAL Americans need to do more than just grieve. We need to become activists for the Constitution. We need to get involved, and not just on these websites, grieving. Older Americans can become members of various pro-Constitution grps. like Sheriff Mack’s Const. Posse, Grassfire Nation, Tea Parties, etc. Young Americans can get involved with even more ie; State Guards, Sheriff’s Reserves, Constitutional Militias, etc., etc. If we sit back and do nothing more than wait for an election that may not even happen(if the Imposter and Soros have it their way), atleast a fair election, then we are lost and then we’ll reallly have something to “grieve” over.
You’re right, grieving alone won’t cut it. If you hate Obama- tell everyone you know that you hate Obama and tell them why! And for god’s sake do not let anybody get away with calling you a racist for hating Obama!!!….Spread the word folks.
Common Sense – and that is what Obama doesn’t have any of – he is thinking he is always right – never wrong – still blaming Bush and whoever and whatever else is handy at the moment – he isn’t taking responsibility for making sure America’s jobs are in line to keep every one working – especially the young and youth – he could care less – and he needs to stop lying to so many youth, they are a lot smarter this time around – even those that are voting for the first time this year – GOD help America – she is falling at a very fast rate as long as Obama is President!
The Youth of today are not able to differentiate between right from wrong. The Education System leaves so much to be deisred.
Oh you bet your sweet @$$ the grandparents are out for ovomit’s blood, AND WE GO TO THE POLLS, we’re like elephants, we NEVER FORGET!!! and ovomit is a forgotten man among the grandparents, we DON’T want our children to live in a tyrannical madman’s WORLD………SO VOTE THAT CRETIN OUT OF OFFICE!!!
Yes but everyone needs to do more than just vote against Obama, we need to spread the word against him like wildfire to all we know, and for god’s sake don’t let anyone get away with calling you a racist! One relative got away with it only once, I’ve since learned that Obots only defense for Obama is to label racist or birther. Alinsky tactics will not work with me any longer!!! Spread the word.
Right on Brother! It isn’t about race, it’s about doing the right thing no matter what color you are. I was just visiting with my sister and she said it perfectly. She said every race has their radical malcontempts who make all of them look bad but the majority are good people but we all want to believe the worst . Of course she’s right, but there’s no racial feelings in our family. We grew up in the military, our Dad spent 20 years in the Navy and we made friends with everybody. I don’t think we seen color, we seen men and women in uniform serving our country. It’s about recognizing good from the bad and that we learned very well. My Dad was a strict man especially when it came to doing the right thing. In one way I’m kinda glad he’s not here to see what Obama is doing to our country. Knowing him he probably would’ve driven the car out to DC and tried to slap the crap out of him and got thrown in the Brig. Although, that’s what he needs. Maybe he’d realize we don’t like what he’s doing here.
When you watch Jay Leno or some other TV host go out on the streets and ask teenagers questions about govt., world affairs, the Constitution or something of importance and for an answer you get a “Duh?” or something really stupid, then you know that these are the “zombies” that he appealed to in the first election. Will they vote for him again? Count on it! All he has to do is start singing and smiling and these retarded idiots will fall all over him. Youth and ignorance usually go together and is highly overrated. I’m 63 and 95% of these people could never keep up with me in the field. How sad! For the other 5%, I commend them and it’s those few that could probably tell you what the Bill of Rights is.
I hope WE change in November 2012 and get rid of this socialist regime for good. ALL democraps need to be removed from office for the good of our country. There ARE no good or decent democraps in this country any longer.
If Obama gets re-elected it’s all over for The United States of America, Home of the Brave and Land of the Free and you will all be able to live miserably ever after in the Democrats Marxist Dystopia of the united socialist states of ameriKa, the land of Tyranny and the Home of the Slaves! Your choice, Freedom or Communism!
What was that lenin said “give me a child for 8 years and I’II give you a Bolshevik forever”
There are alot of Repubes that need to be removed also. They have been completely useless for the most part.
oh, I whole heartedly agree, I’m a conservative republican, and am so angry with many rino repubs, they are definitely just as bad as the commies.
“Rino” is exactly how Mitt Romney described himself in 2002. Look it up!
With Romney, I am afraid that we’ll only exchange one red roach in the black house for another red roach.
Oh, the “black house” is how the famous building must now be described: Not as a racial slur but a commentary on the dirt on it.
The sight of this momser’s ( 0vomit ) plane airborn and headed to Chicago, Mecca of thugs and con men, will rank right up there with the Marines raising the flag over Mt Suribachi. We know it won’t be the end of our troubles but as Winston so truly said it will be the end of the beginning. This Fraud was a liar and freeloader from the day his handlers pawned him off on Reverend Wrong who was given the job of converting him into a quasi Afroamerican. He may or may not have gotten the afro part right. American he will never be. Where did all the money go ? He should never be allowed to leave this country until an investigation is made and every single act he has performed is disected. Every executive order
he has ever written should be overturned. Call the Orkin man to get rid of his tsars and cleanse the Whitehouse.
A lot of you people here are calling the young folks stupid or dumb and I don’t agree with that. They are not, they are just lacking in experience of adult existence. But they did get a sampling of it from Obama. I know the ones I talk to see the difference we’ve been telling them now. He made sure of it. Give them some credit for trying to do what they thought was good, they just didn’t have the life experience to tell he was full of crap!! I want our young people to grow up and take control of our country and be proud to be an American and help make our country prosperous again. If we keep putting them down, of course they will go the other way. I don’t want them to alienate themselves from us, they’re our kids people, have some faith.
I hope you’re right but everything that I’m seeing is that the youth today are, for the most part, devoid of values (thanks to the breakdown of our family structure), common sense(probably because of countless hrs. playing video games and watching Jersey Shore) and an inherent understanding of our Constitution. Their roled models range from Pookey to Dr. Dre. And if it isn’t handed to them, they don’t want it, as it requires too much work to obtain. Sorry to be so pessimistic but I rmember how it was when I grew up. And thank God for my father that would slap the crap out of me if I stepped too far out of line.
The main lame news media will not show the hundreds of thousands of christian young adults, on fire for Jesus. Hundreds of thousands going to christian concerts and having meetings. The news media only shows the few kids and young adults that are doing wrong and on drugs…etc…BUT THERE IS AN ARMY A VERY LARGE ARMY BREAKING OUT FOR THE GOOD OF AMERICA…and the TRUTH shall STAND…
Here he goes again! This man is not above grovelling in muck and mire to obtain his goals. He has proven time and time again that he is a despicable human being, dishonorable, lacking in integrity, and ceratinly morally bankrupt. All this aside from being a crimnal, guilty of impersonating an American citizen, running for office under illegal conditions, and then usruping the very office he sought; blatantly snubs the Constitution, and whatever laws he deigns to. I am both a grandfather and a great-grandfather and still am baffled by the fact that this man is not sitting in a cell somewhere. Not being naive’, I know the reasons why! A corrupt government and power grabbing traitors using this puppet to fulfill their agendae. And yes agendae is the proper plural of agenda! Oh for the days of educated people.
Man oh Man do I agree with you Libertyman. I also am a grandfather and my kids are totally in line as far as what’s right and what’s wrong. You should hear my son go on about Obama, his mother says he sounds just like his father!! That’s my boy!! I don’t know where this all started from but I think it was around the McCarthy era, he was warning us about the commies infiltrating our govt. and we all laughed at him, remember? I know I did, but he was right and I’d bet a dollar to a pinch of crap he was spot on about every one he accused. I heard they were here for about 60 years, that’s the timeline isn’t it? I don’t know about you but as an old warrior, I feel something in my bones telling me a revolution is coming if Obama gets in again. Too many of us who fought for us are not willing to just lay down and quit . It will be a cold day in Hell before that happens.
WOW, I didn’t think the people that were for obama would ever open their eyes and see him for who he really is, it’s about time. Mitt Romney will have a lot of obama crap to tear down and disintegrate but I really think he’ll get our country the best country this planet has ever had back on the right track. I’m really hoping obama and his band of crooks get what’s coming to them, obama himself has more red flags then a survey crew has. And we need to have the people on the hill to have the stones to make and example out of someone if their fraudulent, we can’t have any criminal or criminals in our government screwing up our countries prosperity. The state of WA. will give ILLEGAL ALIENS a Washington State DRIVER’S LICENSE for crying out loud, the illegal aliens are better off then our people on SSA/SSI it’s a sham. When will it all come to a end 2012, thank god all the former obama lovers are cutting their cords and have opened eyes now. Our great UNITED STATES OF AMERICA will soon PROSPER AGAIN.
Any child and/or grandchild of mine that supports Obama can go to him for help.
They will not get any help from me.
They cannot move into my home.
They will not inherit from me.
I would say that’s very reasonable, I would do the same!!
Hundreds of thousands of college students have been listening to Ron Paul and they are voting for Ron Paul…Ron Paul is the only one telling the TRUTH…Mitt is the same old establashment…he is one in the same…we will not stand for it any longer…
This grandparent is already chewing out Catholic university professors. Film at 11.
I don’t care if you are young, old, black, white, yellow or brown, an ACORN multiple voter, illegal, dead or a criminal your vote is going to be counted by a vote counting firm in Spain with no record to dispute when O.fraudster is re-elected. The Obamanation has sold the American vote counting firm that has counted and reported electronically for years to a Spanish unionized firm. With his ACORN money funneling, executive orders to give amnesty to illegal aliens and Holdem Up and the D-Rats (particularly the Black Ca-Cas) fighting against voter ID (like in my state of SC), Soros billions and the sell of the vote counters the Marxist, closeted Muslim, forger, prevaricating Alinskyite, Congress by passer, nonNBC, will guarantee himself another four years to pose as POTUS and will continue to pull off the “biggest hustle in human history.”
From my understanding, it’s 26 States and some 900 counties, that will be re-routed to Spain, and that’s over half and will be a blow to this election, I have called my senators office and the staffers goes………DUHHHHHHHHHH, they said get me more information and what commission would that be, I told them how about THE FEDERAL ELECTION BOARD!!!!!!!!! geeeuzzz do I have to do your work FOR YOU, that’s one of the things you get paid to do!!!!!!!!!!!
Ur, you are spot on and I’ve been saying this for over a yr. now, and that is exactly why everybody needs to get behind Shrf. Joe Arpaio’s Cold Case Investigation so that the truth gets out and we can charge the Imposter POS and lock his sorry azz up. The Evidence is there. The proof is there. The formal charges will be there IF real Americans get behind this.
Obama and his minions are nothing less than diabolical. They are fundamentally incapable of telling the truth. They are deeply intellectually dishonest which means they do not see nor recognize the truth. They believe they can manufacture their own truth. They do not care who they hurt, how badly they hurt them, nor do they have an ounce of compassion for those they use for their own selfishness. Such is the nature of this man. One can only guess how clever he is by the success he has had in deceiving the nation [the good guys] with his false identity and destructive inane policies. The older people are gradually seeing him for who he is, but the younger people, many of whom are in rebellion do not see the danger they are in. But, the bottom line is that Obama will not succeed ultimately, since he is already judged for his foolishness — as are those who have aligned themselves with him for personal power and mometary gain. They simply haven’t counted the cost of their stupidity!
Obama’s ‘youth vote’ will see right through his ‘cool factor’. Today’s youth has experienced first hand a Centuries worth of economic destruction and collapse; Youth is extremely smart and very underestimated-
I’ve got faith they’ll vote the issues, not the cool!
Youth vote?…………are they tryin make me laugh…THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH YOUTH AS THEY SUPPOSE, THAT WOULD BE ON THEIR SIDE…WHY? BECAUSE THEY HAVE MURDERED OVER 50 MILLION YOUTH IN THE WOMB AND NOW THERE ARE NONE.. most of the Youth today are born again christians…WHY? BECAUSE THE CHRISTIAN PARENTS DID NOT MURDER THEIR CHILDREN…AND THE CHRISTIAN PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS HAVE RAISED THESE CHILDREN TO HONOR GOD, JESUS CHRIST THE MOST HIGH…AND THEY WON’T BE A VOTEN FOR THEM OUTSIDERS, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN…AND I THINK THAT YOU DO…HAVE A GREAT REST OF THE YEAR 2012
this cretin is getting desperate, college grads cannot find jobs,they have finally (THANK GOD) have become disenchanted with the liar, so don’t know what youth It’s talking about unless it’s going to do another EXE O. to allow 12 and up to vote. I think the fool is losing it and probably would qualify as certifiable.get the whites coat to the wh!!!before he pushes the red button, thinking it’s a call to vera baker.
