Actually, yesterday. But there was this from Dan Balz:
Obama is not a natural populist, even though he once was a community organizer.
If that doesn’t do it for you, there was this from Tom Friedman:
And to reignite his youth movement, he should make sure every American kid knows about two programs that he has already endorsed. The first is National Lab Day.
I have a better idea: To re-ignite his youth movement, he should charge up the nation’s young people with cool and messianic imagery and the implicit promise to resolve all the contradictions and difficulties inherent in governing in the sheer awesomeness of his own person.
Okay, that might be hard to do again. Maybe he can make this National Lab Day work for him.
UPDATE:
E-mail:
You mean the youth movement wasn’t reignited by insurance mandates enforced by jail time? I know it gets me fired up (although not in a pro-Obama way).
Maybe he could explain to his young fans how he’s running up so much debt that for the first time in generations they should expect to be worse off then their parents? Of course, parents will be obsolete when he passes Obamacare and the nanny state really gets going.
Maybe they’ll be reignited when Obama finally makes the seas stop rising and heals the planet like he promised.
