An honest politician eh?

I realize it was cool voting for a rap star the first time, surely this same bunch will be hitting the work force by then and realize what Odumbell means by change.... as in.... only some change left in your pocket when he is done giving away the rest of your money to those that don't want to work for a living.

Odumbell has what is known as book smarts. He is the dumbest person on the planet when it comes to common sense. I am truly ashamed to call him our president. this has been a very dark period in our history indeed.

The vast majority of the age demographic you listed do not, have not, and will not vote in any election. Yes, it is true that Obama did elicit more support from those that did bother to vote but to say that he won the election because of dumb kids would be fallacious at best. Here are some more categories that paint a more complete picture:

via US News

1. Minorities: Ninety-six percent of black voters supported Obama. He also drew the votes of two thirds of Hispanics.

2. Young people: Obama won the under-30 crowd by 34 percentage points. This bested Bill Clinton's 19-point advantage over Bob Dole among young voters in 1996.

3. Women: Obama attracted 56 percent of female voters. Unmarried women also voted for Obama over McCain by 70 to 29 percent.

4. White men: He had the support of 41 percent of white men. Before Obama, no Democrat since Jimmy Carter had earned more than 38 percent of the white male vote.

5. Hillary Clinton fans: Obama won over 84 percent of Democrats who backed Hillary Clinton in the primaries.

Additionally, do you honestly believe that Obama is "the dumbest person on the planet when it comes to common sense"? Do you really think people can be elected POTUS without any "common sense"? He knows exactly what he is doing and has been planning it for quite some time, every piece of legislation that he signs is methodical and deliberate. I'll agree with you that the reasons his administration has given for passing certain legislation and policies give an impression of grotesque ineptitude, but that just political spin that all politicians play. They can't just come out and say, "We think that the American people are too stupid (after all they elected us didn't they?) to make their own decisions and therefore we must impose a total and complete authority over all aspects of life right down to body fat percentage."

One a completely unrelated kick: Does anyone else feel like the media is reporting way too much on how Obama feels? I've heard this soundbyte way too frequently, "blah blah blah the President expressed deep disappointment". Taking mental inventory of similar audio, I recall a lot more "President Bush" and a lot loss of how he felt about something.

Everybody should be pulling for Rand in the Kentucky Senate Race. He'll have way more time in office than BHO did when the Presidential elections commence.
