Last summer, I wrote a column framed as a letter to a young Obama voter. It concluded: "You want policies that will enable you to choose your future. Obama backs policies that would let centralized authorities choose much of your future for you. Is this the hope and change you want?"
It seems that some young Obama voters have decided it isn't. The Pew Research Center's poll of the millennial generation, which voted 66 percent to 32 percent for Obama, found that they now identify with Democrats over Republicans by only 54 to 40 percent.
Perhaps they are coming to realize that the burdens the Obama policies are placing on the private-sector economy are reducing their choices for the future. The stimulus package, ObamaCare, higher taxes, new environmental restrictions -- they're all job-killers and help to explain why a recovering economy isn't producing many new jobs. Unemployment has been at 10 percent, rounded off, for six months now.

Proving that the young are the most fertile field for brainwashing, propaganda and general manipulation. Political child molestors.
I have no faith in anyone under thirty to make the right decision regarding Obama. Most of the teens and twenty-some -things I see have an iPod headphone dangling from their heads and texting their inane doings. They have bought Obummer hook line and sinker.
I tried to convince one that the health-care law was a joke and generational theft, and they said..”hey at least hes doing something.”
Duh!
And now when one applies for a student loan, Obamah will be the one who decides if your area of interest is “available”.
It's a good question for all the special interest or demographic groups who voted for the inexperienced Kenyan including Jews, seniors, blacks, etc..
I don’t try and convince them anymore.
I just thank them for providing my health-care and retirement.
It is funny to see their faces at that simple statement. LOL.
Hopefully they’ll stay preoccupied with their insipid foolishness and stay away from the polls in November!
Not a bad idea...take their pay stub and point out the money being taking FROM them to supplement OUR retirement. They'll be busting their asses while I relax on the golf course or sit on the beach enjoying a cold one.
You folks over 60? Stay healthy; keep that Social Security money flowing for YEARS to come...
If you are a tax-cheat, sexual deviate and Marxist, Obama’s got a high-paying job for you.
Obama is recreating East Germany in the US.
Hope so, the cost of all these social programs is bound to squeeze them hard enough to revisit their liberal beliefs.
Yeah, he was a real piece of work too.
The problem is the welfare state Obama is expanding as fast as he can is in the process of collapsing. He can’t “take care” of the “dependent classes” as they are finding out.
