The Facts Behind the Curtain

President Obama thinks he has found the message to recruit young people back into his camp. He wants to prohibit Congress from raising the interest rates on Stafford loans, and judging by his performance last night on the Jimmy Fallon Show his message is landing. Young people like myself cannot be fooled by the smoke and mirrors trick the President is pulling on us.

This President has put America's youth in a predicament we as a country haven't seen in generations. America's college educated youth have no job market and limited opportunities. As more and more Americans are attending college and receiving degrees how can young people support a President whose policies have undoubtedly led us into a job market where our skills where be under utilized?

More young people than ever are moving back in with their parents. Half of all recent college graduates are unemployed or underemployed a statistic that frightens me as a graduating senior. These statistics can be traced back to the job killing regulations and policies crafted by a man elected on the backs of the youth.

Obama managed to get the youth vote out in record numbers in 2008. He's trying to blind them now by covering up his record and only showing further disregard for a deficit already out of control. Barack Obama has no desire to pay down the deficit or create an environment suitable for economic growth.

The only way to re-stabilize America's future is to give the new college graduate the ability to succeed. Without a new generation of entrepreneurs and job creators how will America replace the jobs lost in the recession of 2008? America's finest youth are in dead end jobs because of the Obama economy. We must have a president that is pro-growth, pro-free markets, and pro-economic liberty.

The GOP will need every vote to challenge the Obama machine. We must work to pull back the curtain of Stafford loan promises and introduce America's youth to the truth. President Obama is not your ally. In three plus years all he has done is taken the most precious of things from you. He's taken away your ability to succeed and secure the American Dream. It is now harder to start a business, harder to higher employees because of ObamaCare, and even harder still to compete in a tumultuous economy.

It is up to all of us to try to turn this country around. If young people continue not to recognize the source of their frustration they will always be a rubber stamp for the American Progressives. They will continually dig themselves further into a hole without knowing it. The rich and the fictional 1% will get the blame as the elites in Washington slow the economy down so we can be one of many and not exceptional.

  1. "President Obama is not your ally." Great line Mike, that's EXACTLY what the GOP should run with to capture the youth vote. It's an uphill battle but one that must be won.

    1. It is possible to overcome the rhetoric of the left in young adults. I've seen it happen at my own university. I'm looking forward to keeping up the fight.

    2. Well done Mike. So true, but the sad part is a lot of people like to buy into the smoke screen

    3. It's easier to buy what the government is selling. That's why we have to be vigilant.
