Richard Nixon made 18 year olds into adults. Obama made 26 year olds into children. Agree?
Nixon lowered the voting age from 21 to 18 and also ended the draft.
Obama forced insurance companies to consider 26 year olds as children on their parent's policies.

Comparing apples to oranges.
Nixon was under pressure from the begging of his administration. The voting age was lowered to 18 in 1971; Nixon took the oath in January of 1969. It's only logical that a person called upon to fight for his nation have a say in how his nation is run.
If we followed the lead of other rational, capitalist nations, we wouldn't have our insurance tied to our employment, thus allowing us job freedom and unburdening employers. Australia figured this out and they are doing better than us.

True, children are the only ones naive enough to believe in his "Fairy Tales.
Stunting their intellectual/emotional growth with that will buy him the "Lost Boys" vote, who've received a booster shot of Peter-Pan serum, to perpetuate their immaturity.
As long as he gets another term, the liberal mantra of the -end justifies the means- (leaving HELL in his wake that he no longer gives a Damn about). What an Ego.
Lie, cheat, steal, it's all good, as long as he wins. Extremely dangerous, and using mental children to do his dirty work, is putrid in the extreme.
The Pied Piper did the same.
Progressives are very much eugenics (which they extend to society, to all it's parts, as a whole) participants, they wish to remove all that isn't a perfect paradise for them. Since there's nothing perfect, they're removing everything.
Have seen the pictures of their future burning in Greece.

Most young people still use their parents for FAFSA information and for room and/or board while in college. It's a rather stupid policy to remove a child from their parent's insurance policy at 18 if they are still in the process of trying to educate themselves on their parents dime. If they so choose, a 26 year old can pay for their own insurance through their job, just like current policies allow. This just covers those who wish to seek out higher education.

I remember when Obama wanted private insurance carriers to reimburse the VA for treating military personnel.
Obama is his own worst enemy. He is done in November and he will have no one to blame but everyone and everything but himself. He is good at that.

Agreed. He's also busy making slaves out of free men.
The direction he is trying to take the country may just
blow up in his face.

Having the youth vote and keeping adults on government aid fits right into Obama's agenda. The more people who depend on the government, the more people will vote for the Progressive.

"Obama forced insurance companies to consider 26 year olds as children on their parent's policies."
Yes, now they can get medical care. It's that awful. The insurance companies are going broke.
