Obama on The Daily Show
Obama gained much of his power by inspiring the youth, but how inspired are they now? With many expectations of change not met, a decline in support has been made apparent. When Obama ran for office in 2008 he ran on change and brought out an enormous amount of young people to vote, but the decline in support can be seen through the recent midterm election. Before the election Obama appeared on the Daily Show to make a last attempt to rally votes for the election, but the election has revealed his success rate was far lower than in is campaign ( This is made obvious by the loss of majority in the House and the republicans gaining seats in the Senate). Obama states that "change does not happen over night", but how much longer are people willing to wait?

You pose an interesting topic here. Maybe the youth aren't satisfied with Obama's presidency because they tend to be more impatient and demanding. But if he fulfills his promises, will it be too late? People might think it took him too long to get something done, and that could ruin his chances of re-election in the future.
ReplyDeleteI think that our country is a whole is very demanding of our goverment officials, and rightfully so. But i also think that with the horrible economy, we have no other choice but to be patient because it may take a very long time to get us out of it. People should remember that.
