Barack ObamaThe youth vote helped Barack Obama get elected two years ago, and now the president is hoping to harness some of that same energy to help the Democrats win in next month's midterm elections.

President Obama will host a Youth Town Hall event next Thu. at 4PM, called 'A Conversation With President Obama,' that will be broadcast on MTV, BET, CMT and MTVu, and streamed online at MTV.com, BET.com and CMT.com. The commander in chief will take questions from the audience and via Twitter.

The audience will be comprised of 250 young people "representing a cross-section of American youth," according to the release. MTV News reports that the special will be co-hosted by MTV's Sway Calloway, BET's April Woodard and CMT's Katie Cook. If you're interested in attending the hourlong commercial-free special, visit MTV's website for more information. Check out MTV's video announcement below, then let us know what you think of the town hall.

Obama will use any media to brainwash the uninformed and easily persuaded youth of this country. He thinks by acting cool and putting his message on MTV, etc, that his message will be more believable just by association. Unfortunately, Obama is politically savvy and knows most young people get their "news" from these cable shows and actually believe the cr*p that is televised.

I give the youth more credit than to fall for Obama's crap and lies. He knows he is a one term president and very lucky to have gotten that. He knows people have figured him out and know exactly what he is and knows his days in OUR WHITE HOUSE are numbered.

There are many exceptional young people in America today, many more than when we were growing up. I'm sure they will interact with the President well and ask timely questions. The problem I see is that the uninformed young people tend to "follow the pack" as they did in the last election. Our office is comprised of many young people and the last election I saw them all buzzing about Obama. When I would ask them to tell me his policy on any given topic they had no clue what he was about and did not want to learn about him. When election day came around they were all so excited that they got to go vote, they treated it like a rock concert or somthing. They still had no clue what the man, his party and their policies were about but they wen in droves to vote because "it was the thing to do"

He is not hope, he is just another empty suited lawyer who went to Harvard to learn how to lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time. I worked as a ins. adjuster and dealt with attys for 30 yrs, they are all liars.

You notice that most of the stations cater to young black youths. I know just exactly what this man has been up to since the beginning. He made all kinds of statements and never followed up on most of them.

Visit factchecker.org...he's basically done almost everything he said he would do. The few failures are highlighted though by the rightwing media. You're probably to "angry" to care though. Whoa 90+ comments, Obama draws a crowd.....he still got it.

First, the cover of that magazine Rolling Stone and now MTV. Has he completely lost his mind?? He is beyond an embarrassment for the American people. We need to save ourselves.

Obama is the first president I've ever had. Im 45 and this is a man with passion to fix the wrongs the Americans fell for all the years past. Youth have nothing anymore and they are also the most spoiled generation in the History of the world. HOPE is where we are and what he does. every single day our congress achieves more daily then any pres has been able to achieve in any term! Thank God as I was so tired and angry at the Facist way Bush did his destruction> ie. MICHIGAN GIRL with great hope.

If the youth of America are stupid you can generally blame it on MTV and programs like it + the teachers union, and the left in general. On Nov 2nd we can all do something about it by voting for conservative candidates who have American values. Lets get the commies out of our schools and congress and the White House, Socialism has never worked ever in any part of the world.
