Barack Obama was supposed to be different. Young voters were willing to overlook the man’s inexperience and Leftist connections in exchange for a post-racial, more humane promise of “hope and change.” Barack Obama appealed to their idealism. What did he give them in return for their trust? So far, ruinous spending, high living, more government control of everything from healthcare to energy, political score-settling, in-your-face confrontations with religious groups, more surveillance of citizens and the press, and a sorry, jobless recovery. A poll out today says the eyes of young people may finally be opening–unfortunately, eight months too late.
