Unemployed and Uninspired Youth Vote Abandoning Barack Obama in 2012 as Compared to the 2008′s Hope & Change Vote (VIDEO)
Look what happens when college kids are promised the world then graduate only to find themselves with no job with no hope to get one.
What a difference four years makes. The enthusiasm of the youth vote, age 18 to 29, from 2008 that helped Barack Obama win election is down dramatically in 2012. In the 2008 Presidential election Obama outdistanced John McCain 66% to 32% with the Youth vote. However, according to a recent Fox News poll only 55% of the youth vote is for Obama and 31% for Mitt Romney. The 10 percentage point drop in the youth vote can only be described by Democrats as one thing … racism.
As reported at The Blaze, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said Saturday the young people who turned out in droves to vote Barack Obama into office were promised “pie in the sky” — but what they got was “pie in the face.”
“A lot of these kids who were all excited about Barack Obama four years ago either got out of college or they’re in college now,” Huckabee said during Fox News’ “Fox & Friends Weekend.“ ”What they’re finding, they’re $45,000 on average in student debt when they got out of school and they can‘t get a job and they’re moving back in with mom and dad. That’s not exactly the hope and the change they were looking for.”
He said those voters wouldn’t necessarily break for Romney — more likely, they’ll just stay home.
“But if they stay home, that’s devastating for Barack Obama. He has to have that youth vote,” Huckabee said.
It’s not just the Fox News poll that shows that Obama has lost his mojo with the youth vote, but also with a recent national survey of young voters taken by Hiram College’s Garfield Institute for Public Leadership. This poll shows that Obama has lost 7% with young voters and an even more surprising piece of data gleamed form the poll is that its a 43%-43% tie as to who they think is better suited to strengthen the economy and create jobs.
The June poll shows President Obama’s support has dropped significantly since both the 2008 Presidential campaign and this January.
President Obama is preferred by 50 percent of voters age 18-29. Mitt Romney is the choice of 37 percent.
Young voters are evenly divided on whether the President and Democrats or Romney and Republicans have more ability to strengthen the economy and create jobs, 43% to 43%.
The result is that the young voters might just stay home that would be devastating to Barack Obama’s reelection chances.

Can You Say Desperate … Barack Obama Asks People Getting Married To Forgo Gifts and Asks Their Guests To Donate To His Campaign Instead
TALK ABOUT LOST IN SMALLNESS … The Audacity of Dolt: Barack Obama, the Money Grubber in Chief … File this one under … HUH???
It has come to this, Obama is so desperate for cash that he wants you to give him a donation in lieu of guests giving wedding present and gifts to children for their birthdays. How low rent of a President is Obama? What’s desk Barack, for families having funerals that in lieu of flowers donating to your reelection campaign instead as well?
You can actually register your wedding on his campaign site. Good grief, what arrogance. Could Barack Obama more diminish the Office of the Presidency? Seriously, asking individuals in lieu of giving a gift for a wedding, anniversary or birthday, to instead give money to Obama. UNREAL!!! However, what else would you expect from Obama? The man who wants his socialist government to control Cameroonians lives from birth to grave, why wouldn’t you think the Obamamessiah would want to take part in your wedding as well? This sounds like its a SNL skit, nope this is no joke.
Got a birthday, anniversary, or wedding coming up?
Let your friends know how important this election is to you—register with Obama 2012, and ask for a donation in lieu of a gift. It’s a great way to support the President on your big day. Plus, it’s a gift that we can all appreciate—and goes a lot further than a gravy bowl.
Setting up and sharing your registry page is easy—so get started today.
From Michelle Malkin, “This election could be close — a couple of reception Cuisinarts, a baby shower Diaper Genie and somebody’s $20 birthday check from grandma could make all the difference.” LOL!!!
What’s next for the Obama reelection team pandering for money ….
- Kids allowances sent to Obama in lieu of being taxed.
- Children’s tooth fairy money sent to Obama in lieu of it being placed under the pillow
- Money placed in the church collection plate needs to be sent to Obama … the heck with separation of Church and State.
- How much are the fillings in your teeth worth?
Breitbart discusses Obama’s desperation as well.
This is truly insulting. Young couples have been the folks hardest hit by the Obama economy; unemployment rate among the young is at all-time highs. Yet Obama suggests that we should send money not to those couples, but to the campaign of the man who has put them on the bread lines.
When you click through to the Obama Event Registry, the Obama campaign informs you just why you should send Obama money rather than having grandma buy you that crockpot:

Talk About Your Metaphors … Barack Obama Trips on His Way to Podium in Tampa, FL to Pander to Voters
What can only be described as a metaphor of the Barack Obama 2012 campaign, Obama trips while running up to the podium at a Tampa, FL event as he is about to once again pander to voters. Obama’s campaign has been stumbling as they certainly cannot run on their record for the past 3+ years, they now politically trip over themselves daily whether its in regards to the economy, the 8.2% unemployment, the lack of job growth, false claims of GOP war on women, the Fast & Furious scandal and coming next week … the Supreme Courts ruling on Obamacare.

Unbelievable Disrespect … Obama Invited Gay Activists Pose for Pics Giving Ronald Reagan’s Portait the Finger in the White Hoouse
Just how unbelievably disrespectful could these people be … I guess this is what Gay Hope & Change looks like?
Invited Gay guests of President Barack Obama commemorated there visit to the White House by taking pics flipping off the portrait of President Ronald Reagan. Can some one explain to me how this is allowed to happen? Are there not individuals who monitor what guests are doing in the White House or are they just allowed to roam around freely? More to the point, have they no sense of decorum? I do not care who you are, gay, straight, white, black, brown or pink … taking a pic of you giving a former President the bird or making out, sticking your tongue down anothers throat just shows how disrespectful one truly is.
Pic credit: The Philly Mag.com
Last Friday, an attaché of important gay people from Philadelphia made a trip to Washington D.C. as invited guests of President Barack Obama for the White House’s first-ever gay pride reception. There, they danced to the sounds of a Marine Corps band; they dined on crab cakes and canapés; they hand-delivered letters from concerned citizens like this 18-year old who has had four people close to him gunned down, and noted rhyming raconteur CA Conrad; and some of them took advantage of photo opportunities to give the late President Ronald Reagan the middle finger.
More from the gay and Lesbian crowd that want acceptance. One might first ask before they get acceptance that they actually abide by some set of rules, rather than the fact that they think they are special and above the law and rules of proper conduct.
Additionally, Strauss posted Reagan’s memorable statement on LGBT rights from the 1980 campaign trail: “My criticism is that [the gay movement] isn’t just asking for civil rights; it’s asking for recognition and acceptance of an alternative lifestyle which I do not believe society can condone, nor can I.”
“Yeah, fuck Reagan,” reiterates Hart one week after the reception. “Ronald Reagan has blood on his hands. The man was in the White House as AIDS exploded, and he was happy to see plenty of gay men and queer people die. He was a murderous fool, and I have no problem saying so. Don’t invite me back. I don’t care.”
Comments from Rush Limbaugh:
UPDATE I: File this one under way too late and a dollar short, the Obama White House rebukes the the Gay guests that gave the middle finger to Reagan portrait.
The White House did not approve.
“While the White House does not control the conduct of guests at receptions, we certainly expect that all attendees conduct themselves in a respectful manner. Most all do,”
As stated by the Lonely Conservative, “How very classy. I guess this is just part and parcel with the new civil tone Obama has called for.” Imagine, just imagine if a white person did the same to Obama’s portrait, when he finally gets one, it would be deemed at “Hate Crime” by the MSM.

Rasmussen: Barack Obama Only Polling Just 35% of White Voters, Down 8 Points from 43% of the White Vote in 2008 Election
More bad polling data for President Barack Obama. It would appear that White voters are abandoning the Obamamessiah and are no longer buying into “Hope & Change”. According to a recent Rasmussen poll, Barack Obama is just getting 35% of the white vote as opposed to the43% he garnered in the 2008 Presidential election. Making matters worse, Obama is back to a -22% Presidential Approval Index, with 23% strongly approving and 45% strongly disapproving.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows Mitt Romney attracting 48% of the vote, while President Obama earns 43%. Six percent (6%) prefer some other candidate, and another three percent (3%) are undecided.
The president picks up support from just 35% of white voters overall. That’s eight points below the 43% of the white vote he won in 2008. Among white Democrats, 17% currently plan to vote for Romney.
Our analysis that this is not a black and white issue as the MSM and Democrats would lead everyone to believe. The fall of 8 percentage points by Obama among white voters is because of his policies, agenda and poor leadership in turning the US economy around from the recession. Unemployment is still at 8.2% and millions of Americans have dropped out of the workforce all together. However, if we were to believe that anyone who is against Obama is a racist, that would mean that since 2008 that 8% of whites have become racists. A better analysis probably is that since black voters are a monolithic voting block that the super majority of whites are likely considered Independents and it is those folks that went for Obama in ’08 and now have changed their minds in 2012.
