He agreed that Obama has struck a nerve with, and in particular, the nation’s younger voters.
“He’s turning out the youth,” Rubio said, “but at a very superficial level.”
Rubio said “my generation” (he’s 36) is captured “by images, not specifics.”
“His economic policies will doom my generation,” he said, adding that Obama wasn’t “evil – he’s wrong.”
Rubio said much of Obama’s appeal is generally to those – and because the idea of ‘entitlement’ has now become institutionalized -- who argue that there shouldn’t be one big winner, for example, in the state lottery, but lots of small winners.
“There are people who don’t believe that America’s history is all that great – they want us to be like France, Spain and Italy,” he said, and where mediocrity and the (small winner) least common denominator approach define both governmental policy and cultural outlook.
Rubio said that Obama also wants to “engage Castro.”
“He shouldn’t be engaged,” said the first Cuban-American elected Florida Speaker of the House. “He should be indicted.”
Obama is “naive,” Rubio said, “That’s not unique in academia,” he continued. “They live on planet happy, not planet earth.”
Rubio doesn't realize that people view him as an insensitive elitist. The Florida House Speaker said working class people were living off "other people's leftover money." Where many others see Obama's success at registering young voters as groundbreaking, Rubio sees "a very superficial level." Rubio presided over as legislative session that did nothing to answer Florida's problems and accuses Obama as having a problem with reality. I would love to see Rubio run against Obama. The asskicking would wipe that smug smile off Rubio's face.
