Opinion: Young voters, stick with Obama

Jack Schlossberg, JFK's grandson, says young voters have learned political change doesn't come easy, but Obama has delivered on key issues... The president's signature legislative achievement, the Affordable Care Act, allows us to stay on our parents' health plan until we are 26. That means we'll have health insurance when we graduate from college, which more and more of us will be able to do thanks to the president's push to double funding for Pell Grants and his insistence on keeping interest rates low for the 7.4 million students taking out student loans. Because of Obama's repeal of "don't ask, don't tell," anyone can join the military, regardless of sexual orientation, an issue important to our generation.

Senh: A pretty good summary of what Barack Obama has done in his first term so far from John F. Kennedy's grandson!
