Yeah, I’m not one for drawing Nazi comparisons to our 44th president, but what on earth is this “White House Youth?” Some on Twitter are already seeing links to the Hitler Youth, but I won’t go there. If anything, this little gathering could be seen as Obama trying to court his own youth army a la Vladimir Putin. No, he’s probably trying to do that, so does this mean Obama has his own Nashi?
According to the White House blog, it’s a forum that allows Millennials to ask senior administration officials about Obamacare and other issues.
On Wednesday, December 4, 2013 the White House will host a Youth Summit, offering young people from around the country an opportunity to discuss the Affordable Care Act and other issues with senior White House officials. White House Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Google+ followers ages 18-35 are eligible to apply to attend this White House event on December 4.

Yeah, I think I’ll pass, but I’m probably doing so at my own risk. However, I’m hoping that this is just another dumb Obama initiative that aims to keep 44 cool with the young folks.
