The Institute of Politics’ newest
survey of 18- to 29- year-olds found that less than a quarter of these
young people plan to “definitely” vote in the 2014 midterm elections.
Della Volpe attributes this sharp drop in millennial political
participation – which, by contrast, was at a record high in 2008 – to a
general “frustration with Washington” and the lack of change under
Obama’s watch.
“It's
everything, It's the tone, it's the series of issues, it's what's
happening domestically as well as what's happening abroad, but the main
message is that young people voted for Obama in 2008 so they could have a
stake in what was happening in government,” he said. “They truly wanted
to take that spirit of volunteerism into government, into public
affairs and I think they're frustrated that they weren't asked to do
more.”
Well their hero, Obama strait-up lied to the American people ie "if you like your doctor etc." so he can force them to buy something. They then messed up a website that costs $100s of millions which makes them look technologically backward. Next we have hot wars in Syria and a new cold war in the Ukraine. Obama does nothing but twiddle his thumbs and look weak on both fronts.
Finally, you have Obama's NSA snooping their email, text messages, Yahoo Video Chats, and whatever else and storing all that data to "catch terrorists." In other words the government that the Millennials loved so much now has all their naked pictures, dirty texts, embarrassing drunken moments, and darkest secrets shared only with close friends all tucked away on a computer in Colorado somewhere. In isn't just "no spirit of volunteerism" that is damaging the Obama brand but the "spirit of incompetence, lies, and distrust" that is doing more damage.
