CNN-Obama put this out, and as always, it’s bogocity is pegging the needle.

The Millenials will vote as a block for the Kenyan Muslim because they’ve been told it’s hip and cool, and they aren’t racists, are they?

Besides, if they vote for the Kenyan, it’ll be easier to get laid by the hippie chicks.

I like not only what you say, but how you say it as well.

“The teenies ought to wise up and realize the gravy train is coming to an end.”

So the youth need to be cut off but we still should be supporting the old people with giveaways? I refer to medicare, since at least with social security they have paid into it.

When you look at the cost of Medicare versus student loans you see who is getting the most of the gov’t handouts.

I know quite a few Millenials who are just going to sit this one out. This has been the pattern of the youth vote for many years, just to sit at home and claim that it makes no difference who you vote for.

B.O. came along and gave them such hope and got them all worked up. But they are not worked up anymore, in fact they are ticked off. My prediction is that they will stay away from the polls in droves. If you are a college student your local polling place will prob be empty next November.

The sobering reality: just 55.3 percent of Americans between 16 and 29 have jobs.

No surprise, they don't know anything, and 80% of them can't write, let alone speak, a complete sentence.

“And the sobering reality is most of these jackasses deserve it.”

I doubt that; while a few spoiled brats served as props for Obama’s “youth vote”, many of these people weren’t even old enough to vote in 2008. This group will be the main reason he can’t win next year, and not because of student loans (many don’t even have them); they will vote against him because they have no future with him in office. No work, no family, nothing - and they’re not happy about it.

Those that did support him certainly are getting their just desserts; I think ALL people in this demographic are learning more about politics and economics than ever before, and they are not alone. Homeowners everywhere are scrutinizing their property tax bills for the first time ever, and these newly-informed voters don’t bode well for Democrats/socialists.

Today may be different because of the job market, but when I went to school my friends and I all worked. I had to borrow for part of my last year’s tuition, and when I was asked if I wanted to start paying after graduation I stated that wouldn’t be necessary - I was working full-time while going to school full-time. A year after graduation I didn’t owe anything to anyone.

I don’t know how schools are staying open now, with so many fewer job opportunities for students and such dim prospects when they finally do graduate.

Obama’s disastrous economic policies have seriously degraded, perhaps irrevocably, the economic futures of vast numbers of young Americans.

This will not become obvious until a few years in the future, conveniently after the 2012 election, just how badly he has screwed young people. The fact is, young people are going to have to bear the brunt of Obama's policy to bring America to it's knees to create a Post American 21st Century.

They will be the first generation in American history to have a much worse standard of living than their parents.

The comments at CNN are disturbing.

Paid astroturfers. Be not discouraged.

How many Americanized teenagers do you see working service industry jobs in Kearny? Those jobs still exist, the workforce has changed.

NJ didn’t really create a single private industry job for 11 years, yet the state had almost a half million more residents.

The economy and employment situations in States like NJ/NY/CA/IL are really broken, and now after 10 years of NJ not creating any private industry jobs in net, we’re looking at another decade of no growth.

Will we see the state population rise another 450,000 in this decade? Who knows, cause they surely won’t be working if they move here.

...erase all federal student debt for those with more than $30,000 in federal student loan debt and cut the bill by 10 percent for those with debts under that threshold. That still leaves students accountable – no free rides...

Maybe this isn't what he wanted to say, but to me it means if a kid has $30k of debt, they owe nothing. If they have $29,999 in debt, they now owe $26,999. Sounds like a free ride for some to me.

I think he meant to say 'erase all debt OVER $30k.'

*** And just in general, what about those poor suckers who got jobs and paid theirs off already? Sorry, chumps! See what happens when you are responsible??

Unfortunately, there are calls to erase the entire debt over $30,000. So the OWS trust-fund kiddies who went to Ivy league schools get it taken care of, while the poor do, too. It’s the ones who made the decision not to overspend for college that will have to pay, as usual.

And good luck ever getting a student loan again!

How many Americans do you see at all in Kearny? Not nearly as many as even ten years ago.

We did lose an electoral vote (even Jon Corzine admitted that without ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS we lost population). The fact is that many of those illegals took jobs that people my age did in high school or afterwards (landscaping, fast food jobs, gas stations, movers, etc.), and those jobs that weren’t taken by illegal immigrants were taken by LEGAL immigrants (been to a bank lately?).

NJ is simply turning into one giant underground economy, from jobs to illegal apartments, and it is no longer a viable tax base. As more “anchor babies” show up in public schools, housed in illegal apartments, the tax burden compels those who can flee to do so. The fact that our houses have no value is the main reason why 75% of the Americans left in NJ are staying.
