Voter turn out was very low just recently for President Barack Obama. Young people feel that the president has not lived up to his yes we can campaign. People need to see the same confidence that they saw from him in the past because they feel like he is not coveying that anymore. Voter turn out was very low, and the main people who didnt vote were young blacks.
The only way this can be done is for Obama to go back and look at what he said he was going to do.

I thought this article was fairly interesting to see how our peers have voiced their opinions and how an article was written in focus to our generation and the importance and our vote. I do seem to agree with many of the opinions within this article, because it seems that many of the strong youth supporters have yet to receive some of the change and promises that were so strongly pushed during the 2008 campaign. I remember many of the campus campaigns as a sophomore and can easily see how some young voters are upset. Obama’s got some pressure from the younger voters, it will be interesting to see how he works for this constituency in the next couple of years.
