Share This With Young Obama Supporters

By Ross Kaminsky on 9.13.12 @ 9:19AM

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:

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