I am 25 years old. I don't have a problem with some "kid" being in a position of power....if he did his research great. If not, oh well. He will eventually get the experience that everyone is talking about and complaining he doesn't have. Move on to something more important now that he has cast his vote. My problem on this whole blog is the fact that no matter what, someone will be unhappy with whoever gets into the White House. Get over it!!! For those who have been bashing our current President, who is my Commander in Chief and who I am very proud of serving under, leave the country and come back when we have a new one. People believed in him enough to vote for him for two terms. Move on to other topics. I am in the military. I am 25 years old.

Sometimes a 5 years can react in a situation better than his 50 years olds parents. In that situation, I hope that Jason votes at last and not endorsing any of the Candidate. I hope that he really reflects the idea of people who elected him and chose what is really good not only for his State but also the country; who knows, today he is a S P D, tomorrow he might be a Presidential candidate. As said the older; acta secondo,; what goes around, turns around; your actions follow you step by step. He is who everybody is looking at right now to say that young people can't do anything better; they act crazy, they do not think of what their actions can cause to their future.,, Please Jason, do not make us sad. Do not endorse anyone and make sure that you vote at last. When you vote, whoever has the majority, think twice and vote for him if his not going to be worst than what we have right now in W DC.

Kind of makes my 25 years in the U.S.miltary seem like for nothing!!" This guy just said our military is not worth anything. Feels servicing the military for 25 years is nothing. CLealry this poster hates aAMerica and the military. How does it feel to have your words twisited into another compleelty different meaning? That is exaclty what you just did with Mrs. Obama. Bet is seems a little unfair when it is done to you though! These Karl rove tactics are only working on the dumbest of the dumb and most people see right through this kind of nonsense.

I get it. But let's not forget what this man's responsibility is... all he has to do is vote! And since when is a 21 year old's vote less valid than a 60 year old's? One of the earlier comments on this blog was that the kid doesn't even have a mortgage... does that mean his vote should not count? Do 18-30 year olds just not matter? Superdelegates should be more representative of the people, not less. If all superdelegates are 60 year old white men (as most of them are) then we're giving an unfair advantage to 60 year old white men. Adding one 21 year old superdelegate is a step in the RIGHT direction, not the wrong direction! OK, I understand that a 21 year old does not have as much life experience as a 60 year old. I get it.

Many of us have preachers and may disagree with certain messages or beliefs they may say inside the church that you no way in any circumstances agree with! So I don’t think something his pastor feels should be help against him! We all are our own person! And I think JESUS himself is proud of Barack for boldly and bravely putting the issue on the table and out in the open to be discussed and taken control of instead of hiding and ignoring the fact that race was and still is a major issue in our world that need to be delt with! And who's better to do it then some one who has lived on both sides of the race and knows the positive’s and negative's of this raciest world!

I am hoping that the article is simply poorly written, because it implys that Jason's goal was to be a poitician rather than to serve and represent the people. Imagine if that quote went "As a little kid I always wanted to help people and did everything I could to solve problems in my neighborhood, then realized the best way to touch more lives was to run for federal office." We don't need more politicians of any age or party affiliation who ran just because they saw poiticians on TV and in parades and wanted to be one of them. I'd rather support someone like Ross Perot or Mike Bloomberg who was a success in their own right before deciding to get into politics to fix the problems they saw. I hope Jason is doing this for the right reasons, rather than the prestige and fame of public office.
