Good luck creating that same wave of enthusiasm that you had in 2008, Obama Campaign. Like I've been saying for some time now: the College Hope and Changers of 2008, are the un/under employed of 2012.

I don't even think they're the "unemployed". I just think they're the young.
...In the second quarter of 2011, the standard unemployment rate (referred to as U-3) for U.S.-born adults (18-plus) who have not completed high school was 20.8 percent. For young adults (18 to 29) who have not completed high school it was 30.7 percent.
Using the broader measure of unemployment (referred to as U-6) that includes those who want to work, but have not looked recently, and those forced to work part-time, the rate for U.S.-born adults (18-plus) who have not completed high school was 32.4 percent. For young adults (18 to 29) who have not completed high school the U-6 measure was 43.9 percent.
The U-3 unemployment rate for young (18 to 29), U.S.-born workers who have completed high school, but have no additional education, was 18.2 percent in the first quarter of 2011. Using the U-6 measure, it was 31.8 percent.
The U-3 rate for U.S.-born, young (18 to 29) adults who have completed some college, but do not have a bachelor’s degree, was 11.2 percent. Using the U-6 measure, it was 20.2 percent.
Those with a bachelor’s degree generally have been more insulated from recessions than other workers, and to some extent this is still true. But for young (21 to 29) U.S. workers with a bachelor’s degree, the U-6 measure was 10.4 percent in the first quarter of 2011. This is almost double their U-6 rate of 5.4 percent in the second quarter of 2011...

It just sounds like one of those speeches of: "go get out and be active young people we need you!" Both parties do it. Its just the same ol election talk. Really nothing here.. :shrug:
62.4% unemployment rate for 20 to 24 year olds won't affect the youth vote?
Didn't Obama's 2008 decision to run a content-free campaign of "Hope n'Change" based strictly on his own hagiography pretty much insure disenchantment four years later?
16.4% bud.62.4% unemployment rate for 20 to 24 year olds won't affect the youth vote?
Well, except for all the issues he took a stand on during his campaign? If all you heard was "hope and change", you where not listening, which is not obama's fault.
\It was difficult to listen to. Which was his fault.
You need to read your chart again. Seriously, go back and read it, you got it wrong.
16.4% bud.
And i never said that it wont. I was saying this is just rhetoric..:roll:
Dear god... :doh
It says 20 to 24 with no disabilities 62.4% and it's from the Dept of Labor.
Here is what the chart is actually labeled: "May 2012 — Youth Employment Rate (%) "
Read that 2 or three times, you will see it.

Not at all. His website was easy to get to, he talked issues on any number of occasions(hell, we had 1000 post threads here over every single position he took, and every other candidate as well), politifact was able to identify over 500 quantifiable campaign promises he made. So the fault is not his.
Holy cow! I goofed big time. Sorry! Thank you for pointing that out, guess I had a brain fart.
Of the 3.1 million youth age 16 to 24 who graduated from high school between January and October 2011, about 2.1 million (68.3 percent) were enrolled in college in October 2011. The college enrollment rate of recent high school graduates was slightly lower than the record high set in October 2009 (70.1 percent). For 2011 graduates, the college enrollment rate was 72.3 percent for young women and 64.6 percent for young men. The college enrollment rate of Asian graduates (86.7 percent) was higher than for recent white (67.7 percent), black (67.5 percent), and Hispanic (66.6 percent) graduates. (See table 1.) The labor force participation rate (the proportion of the population working or looking for work) for recent high school graduates enrolled in college was 38.8 percent. The participation rates for male and female graduates enrolled in college were 36.5 and 41.0 percent, respectively.
Yeah the promises, they were difficult to listen to.
