I know there was a big thread on the youth vote and how wonderful they are, but the one's I've encountered through my son's friends, turned on POTUS in a big way. Mostly male, white, college educated, very very privileged.

The irony is, few have done much with their lives since graduating - yet they condemn our president for not doing every thing he campaigned on in 08.

Music festivals and Burning Man is their priority.
