Millennial Malaise: O is Like a Bad Boyfriend

In the pages of the NY Times, no less:
In the four years since President Obama swept into office in large part with the support of a vast army of young people, a new corps of men and women have come of voting age with views shaped largely by the recession. And unlike their counterparts in the millennial generation who showed high levels of enthusiasm for Mr. Obama at this point in 2008, the nation’s first-time voters are less enthusiastic about him, are significantly more likely to identify as conservative and cite a growing lack of faith in government in general, according to interviews, experts and recent polls.
Hardest hit--voters 18-24:
In that group, his lead over Mitt Romney — 12 points — is about half of what it is among 25- to 29-year-olds, according to an online survey this spring by the Harvard Institute of Politics.  And among whites in the younger group, Mr. Obama’s lead vanishes altogether. Among all 18- to 29-year-olds, the poll found a high level of undecided voters; 30 percent indicated that they had not yet made up their mind.
Some may stay home. But, you never know, they may go Right, because:  

He cheats on America with France.
He gives you Hope but never Changes

because he and his Choom gang party at your house all night and expect you to clean the mess in the morning
I think it's cool that is trending b/c it must have been started by young women who don't want a life like Julia
