But the first question in Tuesday's debate it was a college student asking the candidates what they can do to assure him and his parents of employment after college.

Yesterday I -- that same question to a Democrat who represented young people here's what she said.

I'll give you thirty seconds -- from the get go give me thirty seconds on why.

New graduates.

Should vote for President Obama go out how can they not vote for President Obama.

-- -- -- -- How could they not let's recap.

53%.

Of college graduates are unemployed or underemployed.

The class of 2011 now faces an average of 26600.

Dollars in student loan debt all time high.

Joining the company is Jason attack right he's the -- all of Obama zombies.

By Jason.

Any sign that the young.

Vote which so heavily to present a bomb in 2008.

I want you to show me any evidence if you've got it that there really -- -- -- Both -- attorney specifically after that first the -- of the debate for.

For Barack -- -- He actually lost 88 percentage points.

And Mitt Romney gained ten percentage points so this is definitely yeah he's -- overall -- -- just in the young people's vote 1829 November 18 on Saturday night.

Just eighteen to -- -- nine.

So while fifteen percentage points is a pretty big -- and start GAAP considering it was thirty percentage points.

And you know that the reason why you still gonna have an -- overwhelming majority of young people we're gonna go out and support Barack Obama.

In spite of not having a job in spite of a dismal economy.

Is because they go through an education system that constantly is obsessed -- -- gender and sexual orientation.

And all these diversity and multicultural programs -- while wolf redistribution.

So therefore they're gonna go to the candidate.

Who is also obsessed with these types of identity politics I'm shocked to hear that because fifty.

3% unemployed or underemployed.

26000.

Books with an average debt I would have thought -- -- will be focused on the job market coming out of college and not on gender preferences and one half.

But hey I'm reminded of a -- by Abraham Lincoln which clearly that gets he had on yesterday's and probably never read we've heard of he -- the philosophy of the class and today will be the philosophy of government tomorrow.

So when you have children who are been on thrust -- have been constantly bombarded with these type of multi cultural programs.

Did not really this might even -- on audited every market and on makes Infrant apart it we think they don't care about that as much.

They care about -- my goodness is this person -- represented.

-- -- women by giving us free birth control and he's even he's gonna soak the rich that that 1% that screw the nine and -- -- -- I -- really what I hear I -- -- say -- -- yes the colleges are replaced we're debate and yes there is a good question about whether or not that should be the focus for colleges I would say it's okay to recent issue of gender issues whatever but I'm not saying that's a way to Europe this.

-- -- estimated -- I'm talking I'm saying that the college model the business model.

Is broken because colleges think they're Donald Trump -- knees and running their own hotel empires and that's why your data so high.

Well of course -- the student that has has increased tuition prices are are increasing and Barack Obama said he was in a lower at all.

I think that that the question when that deferred the student at the temple debate raised and says hey listen you know what do -- -- my friends can't find a job.

I'm concerned that I'm not gonna be able to find the job Mitt Romney actually the only one who can give an answer because Barack Obama has had that for years.

I do think though Obama Mitt Romney has made inroads because now -- gap is only 1516 percentage points at -- Huge when when Barack Obama won 34 percentage points in 2000.

Really fast Bruce Springsteen and having wind and now he's back on come on to the youth vote is -- gonna help.

Well of course -- -- old well I don't know what I -- -- from broken solid listening to Bruce Springsteen.

But -- and working class the states like Ohio and Iowa going to college campus getting thousands of students that come out for free.

For constant that ward you know general cost a hundred dollars plus it's -- mobilizing.

-- And it -- -- -- time.

I can I not vote for -- I mentioned Jack why it should be it should be -- -- hip and cool.

Thank you -- much as Mattel.
