So, these young folks... what lesson do you suppose they drew from the last eight years? All you folks who've kept Republicans and their doctrine of every-man-for-himself in charge, or at least framing the debate, for the last quarter decade, I hope this question keeps you up at night. Pray that Obama turns out to be a good, caring leader.

Carl: Yeah.
Richard Vernon: Now this is the thought that wakes me up in the middle of the night. That when I get older, these kids are going to take care of me.
Carl: I wouldn't count on it.
