Real Change With or Without Obama: The President's Betrayal of Generation HopeSubmitted by Eternity on Sun, 12/13/2009 - 17:49.
Evan Knappenberger @ Common Dreams - As I prepare to take my first college degree and enter into the world of the Great Recession, I look back on a time of great turmoil. Not only have we students roundly rejected the Neo-Con worldview, but we have been betrayed by the leader we helped to elect. I also look forward to a time of re-generation. Though our generation is the most democratic and least republican one since the civil war, don't be surprised if we turn away from the Democratic party soon. Fool us once, DNC, shame on you. But beware: it may not happen again.
