Young people are very impressionable------Obama used everything in the political toolbox to grab the youth vote. Political rallies with rock bands-----rapid communication via the internet------he combined this with his hope and change mantra (like a drumbeat) as though there was something wrong with America------when in fact America was doing just fine. Students, young voters, were persuaded to believe that there was something wrong with the direction of their lives. There is a general saying, wish I had the total quote, that when one is young one can be a liberal--- as one takes on adult responsibilities(often associated with jobs, marriage and family) they swing to the moderate to conservative part of the political spectrum. No longer is life one big party at a University or college. Those young voters who voted for him were taken in. Perhaps they will now see that their hopes and dreams were better before Obama than at present under Obama. What I do see now is a silent revolution in all of the states and at the National level that will culminate at the polls-----this fall and in 2012. The Obama flirtation with America is unwinding before our eyes and the world---------as are the eyes of the disenfranchised young students opening to shattered dreams as they graduate and seek jobs and a path for life. end of my opinion-----subject to change of course mj

She's a chem E senior (4.0) so probably learns a little faster Depends on what she's exposed to. Lot of fine minds have been contaminated by exposure only to BS. Acquiring a thorough familiarity with her specialty is a heavy load. Thoroughly investigating and comparing econ history and analysis is beyond the time constraints of many brilliant minds.
