President Obama is doing all he can to secure his cool factor as of late, with appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman and a $40,000 per head fundraiser with Hollywood royalty Jay-Z and Beyoncé. But as if that wasn’t enough, it was discovered this week that pop icon Katy Perry will also go to bat for the president during a concert for his 30 Days to Victory event in Los Angeles on October 7.
With a dismal economy that has left 23 million Americans unemployed and a crowning piece of legislation that is unpopular with the general public (Obamacare), it’s no surprise that the president is forced to rely on the one tangible asset he had that propelled him to the presidency in 2008 – his image.
Yes, Mr. Cool is at it again making sure young voters are reminded that he wasn’t a staunchy old white Republican – he is still the Hawaii wave-crashing, Lil Wayne-listening, Al-Green singing, basketball-playing leader of the free world.
Since support for Obama among the 18-29 year-old voting block has waned since 2008, it’s no wonder he’s desperately trying to, for lack of a better phrase, “recapture his youth.”
Oh and get this – the Obama campaign must be fully aware of the depressing economic conditions for young people as the entrance fee for the Katy Perry event is a mere $44 for those under the age of 40. But for those fans and supporters who had the unfortunate experience of turning 41 before purchasing concert tickets? The price is a cool $250.
About Erin Brown
hmmm – sounds like “age bias” or “age discrimination” to me…
I thought Libtards were supposed to be against things like that.
Oh – that’s right – they are against things like “Father and Daughter dances”…
It is so uncool to USE the YOUNG to get votes. I know that Katy Perry has an acne problem which studies have shown is common in about 47% of people under the age of 30. It is wrong to USE people with medical problems to get votes. Yes, it can work, we made W the first retarded president, but I am NOT proud of that!
Romney NEVER discriminates! He always charges $50,000 a plate for his campaign fundraisers and that’s the way it should be, no matter how old you are, or if you have acne and/or are retarded.
As a girl reporter, I did an informal survey on all two of the republicans I could find under the age of 30, and they said that if they didn’t have the $50,000 to attend a Romney fundraiser, they would borrow it from their parents. That is why republicans are so much better than COMMUNIST Democrats, we RELY on EACH OTHER, not government handouts to attend fundraisers with acne afflicted girl singers who take handouts from Pro-Activ instead of borrowing the money from their parents to treat their skin.
I don’t know any republicans with acne, but I do know a couple who are sort of retarded like W was (bless his heart), but they have nice skin, and they are registered to vote, and they have ID’s, I see them when I am volunteering as a candystriper at the Day Center. I think they are under 30, but they don’t know, and it’s really none of my business.
Young Republicans need to stand up and be counted, we are TIRED of being used by COMMUNISTS who try to give us free skin-care products to switch to being a Democrat!
I would rather be young and have a zit on my nose (unless I’m going to be in a wedding), than take redistributed wealth from Obama and Katy Perry!!! And I can say that with a clear conscience and complexion, thank you very much!
