It appears the youth vote is slipping further and further out of Obama’s hands as a serious new video has surface in which frustrated young adults express their extreme disappointment with Obama, for whom they voted in 2008. “Change we can believe in… What we need is a jobs plan instead of more slogans” one girl says in the video, produced by the Romney for America campaign.
A kaleidoscope of young people appears in the dramatic video, repeating the 2008 Obama campaign slogans and comparing them with the reality they now face. They hit the president hardest on his recent statement that you can’t change Washington from the inside.
“And the most important lesson I’ve learned is that you can’t changing Washington from the inside,” the president is heard saying in a clip during the video. “What? No I can’t? No I can’t?” is how the puzzled twenty-somethings replied to the president’s shocking statement.
The video reminds viewers of an earlier Obama promise when a young man previews the Obama clip by saying, “Four years ago, I voted for you. I voted for this.” A vide of Obama then plays in which he emphatically states, “Those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums the spirit of a people, ‘yes we can’.”
“I didn’t vote for this,” the young man says, as the clip of Obama saying, “You can’t change Washington from the inside,” plays once again.
“In 2008, I voted for President Obama, I voted for hope,” one woman says. “But what I got was a bleak future that’s forced me to move back in with my parents,” another girl replies.
“What we need is Mitt Romney… You’re right Mr. President – no we can’t. But we can’t afford four more years of this.”
Obama’s appeal with the younger generation that propelled him to victory has seriously waned in recent months and this hard-hitting video by Romney only adds fuel to that fire.
About Erin Brown
It’s about time people are waking up to realise what an idiot Obama is. I voted for McCain in 2008 coz a friend was like,”No, seriously, listen to him and to what he’s saying, is it really the truth or will it be too good to be true?” I started thinking about how yes, I was a conservative and morally I couldn’t vote for a President that was pro-choice and not pro-life, then there was Obama saying he’d end the war in Iraq but talked about getting into Afghanistan…What? I thought we were done with war ova there, not ending one to start another. I couldn’t vote for a candidate that said he was gonna end one thing to start another. Obama has beyond let the country down. My taxes have gone up considerably since he went into office. I’m 27 single, no kids, and my wage 5 years ago was good enough. Now I work two jobs to maintain the lifestyle I had 5 years ago. I’m sick of this, I’m not staying if Obama gets re-elected. I can’t continue to pay taxes for failed programs, for student loans for people that aren’t willing to work for things on their own. In my grandparents day you went to work to pay for college. You didn’t ask the government for money, nor did you think you deserved an education. I believe people deserve what their willing to work for, not what they’re willing to take from others.
