What’s interesting to me is that had McCain been elected he’d’ve been the only person elected to the presidency who was born in the 1930s.
Now I suppose that will never happen, unless Ron Paul pulls some kind of rabbit out of a hat.
No more Bushes, no more Clintons!
No more Bushes, no more Clintons!
I love the conservative baby boomers but the only issue I have with them is why didn’t they take lefty hippies like Bill Clinton behind the dorms, in the middle of the night, and kick the living sh!t out of them??
Several good ass kicking of these hippies back in the 60’s might have saved this nation a lot of heartache.
Some of us who lived through those turbulent 60’s realized that Professor Reich’s “new head” was really the same old Biblical head, full of sin, deception and greed. Some never figured it out. Today, they are old Democrats and their children.
The title had me thinking of missile subs. Will we have any left in four years?
Gee, NOTHING biased or prejuducial in THIS statement!

Obama is two years younger than I.
His ilk in our high school and college classes would have been the target of ridicule. Even though we were at the tail end of the Boomers (born in 1960) a vast majority of us were fed up with the hippie dippy crap of our older siblings.
We could see that Carter was an idiot, and we helped put Reagan in office. We got hit by the gas lines when we were first driving—and that consumed probably a larger percent of our disposable income than any other cohort.
I had to work for Baby boomers and I found the Gen X’ers much easier to deal with. They were less manipulative in their workplace politics, and they were more adaptable than boomers. As an executive it was a nightmare getting Boomers to change any policy or practice. What a bunch of whiners.
I am happy to be done with my generational brothers and sisters.
But, Obama is a throwback to the heavy duty boomers. For us “tail enders” he would have found himself with his underwear pulled up over his shoulders.

‘46-’64 not 43-60
I’m a boomer (born in ‘55) and although I recall all the turbulence in the 60’s and early 70’s, I didn’t relate to it. Heck, 4 days after HS graduation, I took my Oath of Enlistment for the USAF. I did find out that many of my peers, especially in the college towns (Champaign, IL, Palo Alto, CA) didn’t like GIs and we stuck out because of our military haircuts during an era when long hair and beards were sported by college aged guys. Sometimes it was the shunning and other times it was downright hostility we were greeted with when going into town. That was total BS!
The actual definition of boomer is 1946 to 1964, according to all the major measures, feds, census bureau, etc.
Medved is an old hard core left wing propagandist, he was very radical and very involved, who moved right on some issues, all the way to where his right wing heros are candidates like John McCain and Mitt Romney.
>>>In addition, tens of millions of Boomers who may have taken a more unconventional approach back in the day have come to feel more ashamed than nostalgic about their youthful indulgence.<<<
Ain’t this the truth... for me, at least. In the words of Bluto Blutarsky: “Seven years of college down the drain.” The only really positive impact of that period of my life is that it taught me that the values my parents and grandparents wanted me to follow were actually correct. *sigh*
Who you calling narcissistic? I’m a baby boomer and I’m as far from narcissistic as a person could be. Speak for yourself!
