Unemployed young people can't move out of their parents' houses with Hope and Change credit cards.
In 2008, Obama had a 34-point advantage over Republican Sen. John McCain among voters younger than 30. He won about two-thirds of the vote in that age group.But a new Harvard poll suggests the president could face a more difficult sales job with younger voters this time around. Obama led Romney by 12 points among those ages 18-24, according to the survey. Among those in the 25-29 age group, Obama held a 23-point advantage.
The picture above is of a Colorado University student who got a funny picture snapped with the president on one of his seventeen bazillion political trips.
She says Obama is a "wonderful dude." But when asked by optimistic Obama-boosters on CNN if she'll be voting for him, she says "Um" and claims she has some principle against saying who she'll be voting for on TV.
Which means, in all likelihood, she's not voting for him.
The anchorettes pretend they're happy to hear she won't reveal her voting preference, but I can't help think they're butthurt that the girl spoiled their Obama-loving party.
Humor from Conan: Not really an attack on Obama, exactly, but at least it's not fellating him.

1 or 2 people said there were voting for Romney because of the economy, and a LOT of people said they were voting for Obama but were completely incoherent regarding why.
The handful of people who weren't completely incoherent about their Obama support spoke only in terms of class warfare rhetoric.
And of course there were the handful of "a pox on both their houses!" Ron Paul numbnuts types who don't want Obama re-elected but really don't want to vote for Mitt Romney.
I'm thinking we might be boned. I had no idea there were still so many stupid people running around blind to the damage Obama has been doing.

Re Seals and diversity---the USA is about 85% white---that is if you include "white Hispanics" which the New York Times has told us is new class of "white". So I ask you my progressive loving friends, WTF is "wrong" with Seal Teams that are 85% "white".
Hasn't this "diversity shit" gone a bit too far?
Now if you want some diversity, put 85% of Moochelle's bodacioius backside on a Seal team boat and watch it sink beneath the waves under the load.

People who listen to talk radio = self-selected group.
People who call in to talk radio = small subset of self-selected group.

Who cares if record numbers of young people (and others) are out of work, the country is about to collapse under crushing debt and for the last three years he has done nothing but create an unconstitutional health care law (oh, and golf!)
Obama's gunna give us free student loans and other free shit with all the money he takes from those old rich dudes (and our parents! lol).

Speaking of that. Barry is now making jokes about eating dogs. Funny, I don't see PETA screaming about him being so callous about that and making fun of it. I'll bet if Romney made a joke about his dog on the roof of the car the protests would begin the next day

The SEAL racial composition "scandal" is merely example 3,214,999 of leftists saying that objective testing standards are racist. Leftists subscribe to the theory that blacks and non-white hispanics are pets, not fellow citizens.
We had a similar controvery around here locally. Now, if you're black you can become a police officer for the City of Dayton if you have a failing test score.

After one of the elections that GWB won, either against Weird Al or Reporting for Doody, Eleanor Clift's now dead husband wrote a column in our local fishwrap asking for people who left the presidential selection blank to contact him. A woman that I know voted that way and I urged her to get in touch with him because I wanted at least one semi-sane individual to respond. I figured that he was doing it strictly in a "gathering information" type of thing which I'd expect of somebody that wanted to at least give the appearance of possessing integrity. When I asked her subsequently if she'd done so she said yes and the cockwipe was a real fuckhead to her, snottily stating that "Well you know all you did was end up giving the election to the victor". I hope that fuck's death was extremely painful and served as a preamble to a life of torture in Hell with Satan having the face of his crone wife.

Not saying that's what happened at WGN (in Chicago, you say?), just saying one shouldn't take call-in numbers to prove much of anything (at least not without a grain of salt).

In this case they might have a legitimate reason to want more ethnic "diversity". If the SEALS get sent on an operation in Africa (for instance) that calls for them to blend in with the local population, it might be a bit more difficult for a bunch of white guys to pull off.
Posted by: Hollowpoint at April 30, 2012 09:11 AM (SY2Kh)
That new "Forward" campaign slogan is just typical, isn't it?
I mean....it reflects the hive-mentality of the liberals/socialists who make up Team Barky. ....It implies "Onward!" ....."Onward with our Mission!".....like a command to the troops.
I can see how they would like it, and think that it was a good idea.
But in light of President GolfsAlot....."Forward" should be spelled "Fore!ward".
.....These people who surround him, are so steeped in their own outlook, and adoration of Barky.....that they seem oblivious to the things that he has done in office that are definitely not awesome....and leave him open to mockery.
They were so oblivious, that they also came up with that "Winning The Future" slogan.....and didn't even notice that the acronym of it was "WTF".

Yes! In fact, not only did that happen, it happened to the same host of the show I was talking about earlier, Milt Rosenberg.
There were two broadcasts in question where the show was disrupted by an avalanche of retarded Obamabots who were objecting to the host giving airtime to Obama-critical guests. One of the guests was David Freddoso, and I don't remember who the other one was.
I used to have the podcasts of those two shows; they were downright eerie at times. This was when the cult was at its strongest and most fervent.

Yes, and the bots had been mobilized to object to the issue even being raised, much less answered.

The next time Obama politicizes Bin Laden, I want someone to ask Obama if he thinks any SpecOps guys are voting for him. Bring along some former SpecOps guys and ask them if they are voting for him as he stutters through his answer. The sound bites would be priceless.
Remember, it took him 72 hours to make that "gutsy" call.
