Young Voters Back Barack Obama Over Romney … but Many Aren’t Poised to Vote … Hope & Change = No Jobs

As reported at Gallup, President Barack Obama may have a substantial lead with young voters over presumptive GOP Presidential candidate Mitt Romney; however, will the young people actually come out and vote on election day?  Only about 56% of the youth vote said they would vote in the general election. Barack Obama faces a real challenge in his 2012 reelection bid. That problem … his first disastrous, epic fail Presidential term in office.

President Obama this week made an explicit effort to shore up his support among young voters, embarking on a “college tour” of campuses in North Carolina, Colorado, and Iowa. Obama called on Congress to pass legislation that would keep the interest rates on student loans from doubling this summer, as they are scheduled to do under current law. Romney, in a rare instance of agreement with Obama, also came out in support of Congress’ taking this action, marking his own effort to gain support among the youth vote.

The practical value of Obama’s broad support among young voters is lessened by the fact that only six in 10 of these voters say they are registered to vote, and that fewer than six in 10 who are registered say they will definitely vote in November’s election. By way of contrast, Romney’s relatively strong support among voters 65 and older is more politically potent; these older voters are well above average in their voter registration percentage, and are most likely of any age group to say they will definitely vote in November’s election.

In 2008, 18% of the voting electorate was the youth vote. Of course Obama won the vote handily over McCain in 2008. However, those youth who voted in 2008 for Obama have little to show for their “Hope & Change” vote. Obama has recently gone out on his pandering college tour discussing student loans, but those in the audience will hardly be affected by any laws passed now. What has affected the American youth is … one in two new College Graduates are Unemployed or Underemployed. That is what will be in the minds of the “youth” vote when in comes election day.

How Bad is the Obama US Economy … Even Illegal Mexican Workers are Heading South Back to Mexico

Talk about a total failure of Obamanomics … Obama solves the US illegal immigration problem … TANK THE US ECONOMY!

Just how bad is the United States economy under the polices of “Hope & Change” under President Barack Obama …even illegal aliens are headed back across the Rio Grande back to Mexico as they cannot find a job. Barack Obama and his minions might have finally found one positive of the Obama first term … they have tanked the economy so bad that even illegals think Mexico is a better option.

Well, that’s one way to stem the tide of illegal aliens streaming across the border from Mexico.

Jack up unemployment rates to near double digits, dunk America into a double-dip recession and put us so deeply into hock with the Chinese communists that it will take generations for us to recover.

After long enough, living and working and trying to eke out bare survival in America becomes even worse than trying to get by in Mexico.

This is truly amazing if you think about it. Mexicans risked life and limb to illegally enter the US to work and have a better way of life. As wrong as it is, as they are breaking the law, it is quite an accomplishment that one would be so desperate to come to the United States. However, not under the Presidency and the woeful Obama economy.

A new study from the highly esteemed Pew Hispanic Center says the millions of Mexicans who risked their lives crossing the desert to get here to the promised land for a better life have given up on the U.S.

Barack Obama … Carolina in His Mind … Many Things Have Changed in North Carolina Since 2008

President Barack Obama and his reelect minions have “Carolina in their minds” and it is not a good thing. That’s North Carolina on his mind as Obama could never win in South Carolina. The Obama campaign has been looking for a 2012 campaign slogan to replace, “Yes we Can”, because they obviously can’t and “Hope & Change” as all Americans hope for these days is some change left in their pockets. As seen in what is transpiring in states like Virginia, Florida and North Carolina, their slogan should be, “This Ain’t 2008 Anymore”. In 2008 Obama beat McCain in the Tar Heel state; however, he would be hard pressed to do that again and pick up those electoral votes.

North Carolina represented the high water mark for the great Obama wave in 2008 — but he’s swimming against the tide there in 2012.

No state better illustrates the challenge Obama faces in trying to consolidate the historic gains of his 2008 campaign at a time when hope, change and optimism have been supplanted by anger, skepticism and disillusionment.

It’s not merely that fewer than 45 percent of state voters approve of the job performance of the president who’s set to land there Tuesday, or that the state’s unemployment rate is pushing double digits. Or that both houses of the state legislature flipped from blue to red in 2010.

We have stated for quite some time that it is a near impossibility for Barack Obama to catch lightening in a bottle as he did in 2008. That was then, this is now. What is Obama’s greatest issue to rally the troops … um, maybe his record as President for the past 3+ years, over 8% continued unemployment, out of control spending, record number of Americans on food stamps, record number of Americans on federal disability, escalating gas prices and Obama himself … the $5 trillion man. Oh yea, and Obamacare.

Honestly, as James Taylor sings … the only way Obama will win Carolina is “in his mind”.

More Honors for Barack Obama:1 in 2 New College Graduates Are Unemployed or Underemployed … They Very People Who Backed Him in 2008

Hey youth of America, how is that “Hopey – Changey” stuff working out for ya these days?

Barack Obama promised hope and change to the youth of America. He promised them jobs, happiness and unicorns. Obama promised them the world and has delivered, um, pretty much nothing. The youth who mobilized for Obama in 2008 are now presented with the following, one in two graduates are unemployed or underemployed.

VIDEO Hat Tip: The Gateway Pundit

The college class of 2012 is in for a rude welcome to the world of work.

A weak labor market already has left half of young college graduates either jobless or underemployed in positions that don’t fully use their skills and knowledge.

Young adults with bachelor’s degrees are increasingly scraping by in lower-wage jobs — waiter or waitress, bartender, retail clerk or receptionist, for example — and that’s confounding their hopes a degree would pay off despite higher tuition and mounting student loans.

An analysis of government data conducted for The Associated Press lays bare the highly uneven prospects for holders of bachelor’s degrees.

Hope and change baby. I wonder if any of these duped folks will be so supportive of Obama in 2012?

Barack Hussein Obama Says, “In Just Three Years… We’ve Begun to See What Change Looks Like” (Video)

AMERICA, HOW’S THE “HOPEY-CHANGEY” THING WORKING FOR YA?

UNREAL, Barack Obama actually thinks that America is on the right path and we are beginning to see what change looks like. Of course “what change looks like” is defined as Obama’s agenda to make every American dependent on the government from pre-birth to grave.

President Barack Obama is actually proud of his accomplishments as President, really? Obama told a group of supporters today,“In just three years, because of what you did in 2008, we’ve begun to see what change looks like. We’ve begun to see it.” Listen to the comment at the 1:35 mark of the below VIDEO, President Barack Hussein Obama says the unthinkable.

Fans, Foes Greet Obama, in Mich. for Fundraisers: MyFoxDETROIT.com

The full transcript of the video clip can be seen at Real Clear Politics.

We knew it wasn’t going to be easy. We knew the changes that we believed in wouldn’t necessarily come quickly, but we understood that if we were determined that we could overcome any obstacle, that we could beat any challenge. And in just three years, because of what you did in 2008, we’ve begun to see what change looks like. We’ve begun to see it.

So Barack Hussein Obama’s change looks like the following:

• Record number of Americans on food stamps.
• $5 trillion in new debt.
• continued above 8% unemployment.
• Barack Obama has added 5.4 Million to federal Disability Rolls.
• Barack Obama has tripled the US deficit.

More Failure from Obamanomics … 5.4 Million Join Disability Rolls Under Obama

Barack Obama, what a legacy … The Rise of the Nanny State as more and more Americans become dependent on government.

Thanks to Barack Obama’s economic policies and Obamanomics a record number of Americans find themselves on food stamps and disability. A record number 5.4 million workers and their dependents have signed up to collect federal disability checks since President Obama took office. UNREAL. American workers have given up looking for jobs, exhaust their unemployment benefits and then sign up for federal disabilities.

A record 5.4 million workers and their dependents have signed up to collect federal disability checks since President Obama took office, according to the latest official government data, as discouraged workers increasingly give up looking for jobs and take advantage of the federal program.

Obamanomics Epic Fail … CBO States Food Stamp Rolls Explode By 70%

From the CBO comes the following, Barack Obama,  The Food Stamp President …

The Congressional Budget Office said Thursday that 45 million people in 2011 received Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, a 70% increase from 2007. It said the number of people receiving the benefits, commonly known as food stamps, would continue growing until 2014.

Spending for the program, not including administrative costs, rose to $72 billion in 2011, up from $30 billion four years earlier. The CBO projected that one in seven U.S. residents received food stamps last year.

Good grief, is it any wonder why Barack Obama is trying to divide and deflect as a political strategy for 2012 reelection? If he actually ran on his record he would be rode out of town on a rail. What a pathetic weak recovery due to nothing more than the policies and socialist Obama agenda.

Former VP Dick Cheney Calls Obama an ‘Unmitigated Disaster to the country’ … As They Say, If the “Unmitigated” Shoe Fits …

Well is the “unmitigated disaster” fits Mr President …

Dick Cheney can best be described as new heart, same passion … Just three weeks after Dick Cheney’s heart transplant surgery, the former Vice President made the following comment referring to President Barack Obama, “He has been an unmitigated disaster to the country.”    Cheney went on to say that he could not remember a more important time to defeat an incumbent President like Barack Obama. Cheney certainly knows how to drive the LEFT crazy. However, if one actually looks at Obama’s record, even the LEFT, they know that Obama has been a failure as President.

Dick Cheney, just weeks after undergoing heart transplant surgery, plunged back into the political theater Saturday — praising presumptive nominee Mitt Romney while slamming President Obama as an “unmitigated disaster.”

The tough words came during an hour-and-15-minute talk at the Wyoming Republican Party state convention in Cheyenne on Saturday.

He sat in a plush chair throughout the long chat with daughter Liz Cheney and looked decidedly healthier than recent appearances where he has been gaunt and used a cane.

The United States has record federal debt, record people of food stamps, 8.2% unemployment, a 30 year low of employer participation in the work force, wasted Stimulus tax payer funds, continued housing foreclosures and gas prices doubled during his tenure. Add in Obamacare, the failed green energy scandals like Solyndra and the “Fast & Furious” scandal.  So how is Obama not an “unmitigated disaster”?

At the Summit of the Americas, Barack Obama Describes His Responsibilities … “Part of my job is to scout out where I may want to bring Michelle back later for vacation”

More from the Vacationer in Chief …

Finally Barack Obama describes what he thinks his real job responsibilities are as President. No wonder President Obama has not focused on jobs, unemployment, a coherent energy policy or reducing the debt, he is too busy with his real job responsibility of scoping out new vacation spots. UNREAL.

Just two days after President Barack Obama gave a sharply edged response to news anchor Larry Conners of KMOV in St. Louis after Conners had asked the president about Americans who “get frustrated and even angered when they see the first family jetting around [to] different vacations and so forth,” Obama told a panel at the Summit of the Americas in Cartagena, Colombia that part of his job there was to scout out locations for a future vacation with First Lady Michelle Obama.

“I want to thank President Santos and the people of Colombia for the extraordinary hospitality in the beautiful city of Cartagena,” said Obama. “We’re having a wonderful time. And usually when I take these summit trips, part of my job is to scout out where I may want to bring Michelle back later for vacation.  So we’ll make sure to come back sometime in the near future.”

Weasel Zippers has a suggestion for Obama and his responsibilities to find future vacation places, “please take her to North Korea where the two of you may enjoy their single-payer system for the rest of your miserable lives.”

Obama and his minions talk about Mitt Romney being out of touch with the American people. There is a perception with many that during these harsh economic times where families cannot afford one vacation a year, Barack Obama and the first family take far too many vacations on the tax payers dime. Now Obama would make such a comment? Sorry Mr. President but to borrow your own words, where’s the fairness? This feeling is echoed at the Gateway Pundit where they refer to the recent embarrassing interview with Larry Conners, where he [Obama] was called out for angering Americans with all of the lavish vacations the Obamas have taken. This President has no shame and appears to care less that Americans can’t afford the cost of gas and many barely get by from pay check to pay check.

We have just come up with Obama 2012 election slogan … Let them Eat Cake 2012.

Turbo Tax Cheat Timmy Geithner Praises Obamanomics … President Obama’s Economic Policies “Were Incredibly Effective”

WHAT ALTERNATE UNIVERSE DO THESE PEOPLE LIVE IN … OBAMA’S ECONOMIC POLICIES EFFECTIVE, BUT ROMNEY IS RIDICULOUS …

WOW, talk about an Obama White House with some balls and complete disdain for “We the People”.  Was it lost on anyone today that the Obama WH trotted out a tax cheat like Treasury Secretary “Turbo Tax” Tim Geithner to be the mouth piece for Obama on April 15th, tax day?

Really, “Obama’s economic policies have been incredibly effective” &  I blame all my ills  n Turbo Tax

It gets better, or worse as the case may be. In an interview on ABC’s ‘This Week’ with George Stephanopoulos, Tim Geithner called Romney’s argument that women have been disproportionately hurt during the recession “a ridiculous argument”. Really? The numbers are accurate, yet the Obamaites continue the spin. What is even more unbelievable is that the Obama WH is continuing the failed “war on women” meme. But, as also stated at Jammie Wearing Fool, when one has nothing else to run on but failed polices, a distraction is all Obama has.

“It’s a ridiculous argument. Ridiculous. It’s been largely debunked this week by the people who have looked at it,” Geithner told George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s This Week. “It’s a ridiculous way to look at the problem. And this is a political moment and you’re going to be seeing — just to borrow a line from Mario Cuomo — ‘you’re going to see a lot of politicians choose to campaign in fiction, but we have to govern in fact.’”

While “Turbo Tax” Timmy is on the subject of ridiculous, what would anyone call it when some one says that Barack Obama’s economic polices have been incredibly effective? Seriously Mr. Treasury Secretary, one has to wonder how you kept a straight face when making such a false and foolish comment.
