Most of the Obama supporters are young and do not understand the meaning of diplomacy or civil discourse. It's not their fault that their passions over-ride their reason. We were all that way when we were young. You can't tell a 20 year old anything...they know it all. We were the same way. They are too close to the playground to understand the real world. They are more likely to say things without thinking...they haven't lived long enough to know fear or failure. Of course, they will deny this just like we did.
My greatest fear is that all of these young people will have their "hopes" of "change" dashed on the shore of disappointment. Just how involved will they be once reality rears its ugly head? Once the bubble pops, how many will stick around to do the dirty work of politics and government?
