Talk about class warfare!<br /><br />Anon 7:54 - just more smoke and mirrors; whenever you don't like, or don't have anything to say about, the actual subject, you just globalize and generalize your way into a comment. And what makes you think young people can't think for themselves? That shows a shocking level of ignorance. I live with an 18 year old whose political views are more informed than most adults I know. We may not always agree, but she is very thoughtful about her opinions.<br /><br />Anon 10:22 - that's sheer genuis - require participants in programs designed for people without money to pay for things out of pocket themselves.

You picked on the young. Why bother commenting? Was it just to hold an impromptu pep rally for your ideological kin on the home turf of an opponent? Why would an unintelligent liberal or an unthinking young person want to partake in that kind of shallowness?<br /><br />Jeff WAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9827454.post-27237007515772070492012-04-25T07:54:47.058-05:002012-04-25T07:54:47.058-05:00One has to feel sorry for liberals--they have to s...One has to feel sorry for liberals--they have to support a President who has failed at most everything he has tried for the past 3 1/2 years. More people are poor now than when he started. How a person of any intelligence can support him is more than I can figure out.<br /><br />Obama is trying to sell himself as "cool." That's why he goes on late night talk shows to appeal to the very young who can't think for themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
