Here goes Obama with the young shit....
again. Does he not realize that he alienates the elders when he says shit like that? Am I the only 50-something that gets offended by that??

2. And here he goes with the inspirational message to "lead us to the promised land"
(he really said that). How about telling me what you're going to do in Pakistan? What you're going to do to get us out of the mess?

Hillary is looking better and better to me. Which is alarming because there's a LOT about her that scares the shit out of me.


YES WE CAN!

12. Bill Clinton nailed it today -
"The biggest fairytale he has ever seen".

3. Don't worry, these platitudes he comes out with are going to sink him.

6. I hope so....

4. No, Corona, you are not alone...

I consider the Obamination to be exquisitely divisive in this election as between youth and elders. My greatest rant at DU (before I joined you here at JBSG) was directed at his invective that we Boomers "need to get over" ourselves. Fuck'n cretin. His brand of "change" this world doesn't need.

7. I think that's the thread where I totally lost it!
I was so pissed and took it personally. What a lot of nerve!

9. He better wake up and realize he needs up 'old foggies' to win.
In a way it's kind of nice not having a horse in the race.

(Don't get me wrong - I would give anything for Biden to be in the running)

BUT - this is the first time that I have gotten to sit back and watch it all unfold and really take in what they are saying.

I'm not voting for either of them in the primary, so I am just going to sit back and enjoy the ride.

11. Someone should remind him
that we are a HUGE block of voters and don't take being marginalized lightly.

13. Yep. He doesn't care though....
I think the reason he built his whole campaign around the youth is, because he knew they were more guliable...admittedly some older people are going for him, but I think it's because they don't know all of this shit.

15. I'll be 40 this year
and I find it offensive, and totally contrary to his message of "hope" bringing America together. We need everyone, not just the young people, whatever "young" is these days.

What is this, Logan's Run?

18. Oh Logan's Run popped into my head as well
There was another movie in the sixties where everyone over 35 was drugged and put in detention camps.

Had to look it up - "Wild in the Streets".
