Well, if the youth around my daughters is any indication, Obama is still pretty safe.

Paraphrasing a lot of what I hear is "Well, Obama is disappointing, but there's no way I'd go back to the Republicans since they've declared war on me".

The last part of that statement meaning how the GOP *in their eyes* wants to dismantle the government and put all their corporate cronies in charge.

For example, my 23-year-old daughter pretty much NEEDS public transportation to get to her job. Certainly during the winter when even biking would not be an alternative. Yet the GOP hates mass transit. Now, she lives inthe Philadelphia area so she still has the public transit option.

My younger daughter still lives here in NH and doesn't have that option. Believe me, I'm teaching her all I can about taking care of a car to make it last as long as possible. It's the only way she can get to work and college.
