There is a reason that Barack Obama is spending so much time campaiging on college campuses: They are full of some of the last people in America, at least outside of Berkeley, Boulder, Hollywood, and Manhattan, who remain smitten with Barack Obama and still cling (bitterly?) to “hope and change.”

Few things could be more effective in beating Barack Obama in November than a large dose of reality injected into this segment of the population.

For those of you who have children who are young adults, i.e. old enough to vote but not old enough to have voted in more than one or two presidential elections, this article at the Business Insider should be made mandatory reading for them:

Why Recent Graduates Are Moving Back Home In Droves

Just what sort of change are they hoping for if this is what four years of Obama has gotten them?

Ross,

I don't think it matters.

As long as the constant stream of new and exciting video games, pizza, and Batman sequels are drip fed to them they have no problem living in peoples' basements. And the fact that they now have a president who's one of them (remember the choom gang), one who entertains them, one who alas "gets them", it's all good.

For them, this is the new normal...and guess what?...it's not so bad.

I'll stick with this theory until they convince me otherwise.

Our only hope is they forget to vote.

You’re exactly right. Moving back home isn’t so bad.

One’s first job out of college is a miserable experience. I envy the jobless graduates. But, delaying misery only makes it worse. Gen x is hosed.
