And thus ends the Vietnam War
Every president from Ike to Bush I severed in WWII, well maybe not Carter, but he did serve in the military. The point remains - they all had a tie to WWII as a generation (and world) defining event. That's a leadership span from '53 to '93.
It's interesting that we only had two baby boomer presidents. BHO was 14 when Saigon fell. He is no more affected by that war than I am. Contrast that with WWII generation – Bob Dole was running for President in 1996! I’m glad we can get this constant naval-gazing, me first generation, out of the way. Be gone Boomers. I couldn’t stand all of the media last night - from Blitzer to Matthews and Gergan – all viewing this election through the prism on the ’60. Guess what guys?…nobody cares about you and the '60s anymore. And that goes for you too Jesse. You're done. |

When are you going to back up all your bald assertions today with some rational, intelligent explanation? |

My point is that most of my generation and younger see BHO as their candidate and not their parents'. They saw Hillary as the Boomer candidate; the 60s activist; the Democratic establishment candidate. You're misreading my point. The largest demo for Obama was 18-35 yrds. They don't see this as a win for their parents (Boomers) they see it as *their* victory. The country is moving past the Boomers. |

Get over yourself. I'm not a huge fan of much of the '60's or Boomers, but they brought us the technological revolution, a lot of good pharmaceuticals and medical technology, heightened awareness of environmental issues, and all the good things that exist in their children. |
