Waking up Millennials

They voted for Barack Obama in a big way. Now they are hurt hard by the bad economy and will bear the brunt of the deficits The One ushered in which stretch as far as the eye can see. ObamaCare only adds to the problem.

The impact of the Obama economy is in their face--a jobless recovery, so it's not easily avoided. But where do they get their news? A lot of millennials watch Comedy Central. So what's the latest news from that source? A big cave-in on censorship from a group threatening murder. Here at home. Jihad has come to America. Actually it's been here for some time, even as the world gets smaller and more dangerous. Mark Steyn: Not Too ‘Hip’ and ‘Edgy’ for Censorship. Don’t worry about Iran’s nuclear program, but if you meet a tea partier waving some placard about the national debt, try not to catch his eye.

Some interesting developments. I've met millennials at Tea Parties. The perennially to the left Harvard Crimson has a piece on Republican Congressman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin and his serious Roadmap for America's Future.

And the right is launching a new effort in the culture war--a challenge to Comedy Central, one weapon in the battle for Millennials.

...our president has the heart of a despot. Not hopeful change. Wake up Millennials!

How there are people who continue to call this Obama's economy is a totally sensless and hateful reaction by those who absolutely hate him. What was the deficit upon President Bush's departure? Who decided not to budget for two wars? Who controlled Congress for six years of unrestrained spending during the Bush years? Who should the Millenials blame?

It's Obama's economy now. And he's taken it over a cliff.
