The campaign and vote for President Obama but four years later that support.

Seems to be running dry so what -- joining us now is the founder of turning point USA Charlie Kirk.

And is second in command Miguel -- are both just graduate high school and supported President Obama.

Back in 2008.

Good morning gentlemen.

That Iran announced they tell you what's going on why has the president kind of lost his -- -- with.

Young Americans in the United States what are -- thoughts on -- Well seven out of ten people -- my age group that are teenagers are unemployed that some of the Huffington Post just reported youth unemployment set an all time high.

We're saddled with five trillion dollars in new debt college -- Bob -- about the birds and I think we are trying to understand is a generation more governments not the answer.

Now the Obama campaign I don't think the enthusiasm is there -- my generation that it wasn't doesn't it but that enthusiasm is not necessarily translated.

Towards the Romney campaign but we're -- to see kids are saying well I'll guess I'll vote for Barack Obama that's kind of the how much generations look at the election this this time around.

Miguel what do you say about a third of all young Americans are undecided.

On this race how do you see it and why did you kind of -- your.

Back away from.

The president's.

Strengths in the path.

Well it's because by the turn away from separate man.

Way to deal with two different kinds of Barack Obama's past four years we dealt with Barack Obama the candidate and Barack Obama the president.

First we'll talk about the candidate.

Barack Obama ran on the fact that he would be the fiscally responsible president he told my generation and looked America's children in the eyes.

And told them.

That in 2009 that he would.

Cut the deficit.

By one half at by the end of -- first term he also looked at.

George W.

Bush his predecessor and criticized him one of his largest criticisms.

And said that -- four.

Trillion dollars that George W.

Bush ran a deficit spending was not only irresponsible.

He claimed that it was -- patriotic.

And this will demand that our generation thought was going to stand up to generational -- so we went out in droves and supported him.

However we recognize that he betrayed us that he had told us that he would come out and he would stand up to Washington.

And protect our interests in fact he said directly that.

The money that we are inheriting that -- Is an injustice of social injustice when you're a man who claims that he is -- coming out it won't.

You've laid it out -- case pretty good final question to you Charlie.

In the end is trending towards Romney for young Americans yes -- -- I think so I think the Romney campaign -- lot of work to do on social networking and I I hope to see that the the younger voters really wake up to the fiscal crisis that's about it.

-- -- well thanks for your efforts.

Let us know what what young Americans are thinking 04 we appreciate.

Your your involvement in your -- be well.
