    The reality of hope and change has slapped those 2008 youth voters right square in the face. Many can't find a job and owe thousands and thousands of dollars on student loans while tuition has been rising rapidly the last few years.

    He's not the cool guy they thought he was. He didn't fill their gas tanks. He didn't pay their student loans. He's closing medical marijuana dispensaries. He didn't believe in gay marriage, but when he needed more support, he "evolved" into believing. Gitmo is still open. Recession is still raging. Gas is almost $4.00 again. I guess the bloom is off the rose.

    Perhaps he didn't give them enough credit for not falling for cheap rhetoric and propaganda a second time.

    The kids aren't stupid, they see where Romney wants to take us.
