Let Youth Be Served

Tonight in South Carolina, Obama won 50% of the white vote among those age 19-29. He only won 15% of the white vote of those over 50 years of age. He won almost the entire black vote so he got all age groups there.

Obama is 46 years old. He is the youngest candidate of ether party.

Obama’s one word slogan is “change.”

The young adults of America are done with Washington. They know it is corrupt, dishonest, self-serving, war-mongering, and unable or unwilling to deliver on the promises that put its officials in office. Social Security saps wages and will never pay-off to the current young adults and they know it. The draft is inevitable if we continue on the path of pre-emptive war, nation-building and unending policing of the world: and the young people know it. The dollar is falling and the economy is on the brink because of crazy monetary policy and run-away debt due in large part to a trillion dollars a year funding of a world-wide military empire. The students know it.

The students are done with the usual suspects. This election is about change. It’s a generational change. It’s a directional change. It’s about tearing down the old barriers and bringing people together. It’s about real change not just change as a slogan. They are more multi-ethnic by experience than any generation in U S history. Students reject the politics of division. They want peace, prosperity and freedom.

No wonder then that students are migrating to the youthful Obama who would be the first ever black man to be President of the U S A.

No wonder then the YouTube generation is flocking to Ron Paul who credibly promises to end the monetary madness, bring home the troops, and champion the Constitution.

Will the students get outvoted by their more dutiful estabishment elders?

The answer to that will determine the nominees of the parties and who is the next President of the United States.
