Another well-written article by Blankley. Yes, Obama is post-Boomer, and more specifically, as many nationally influential voices have repeatedly noted, Obama--born 1961--is part of Generation Jones, born 1954-1965, between the Boomers and Generation X. Many top publications and networks (Washington Post, Time magazine, NBC, Newsweek, ABC, etc.) specifically use this term to describe Obama.

Here's an op-ed on Obama as the first Generation Jones President in USA TODAY just a few weeks ago:

Sir;...What do you so called conservatives have against the truth.... Your bubble has burst..If Government had been doing the approximation of its job it would never have let the thing get so huge... Now you think if Mr. Obama blows enough sand up everyones ass that the economy will magically repair itself.... Let me tell you:... FDR had it a lot better... People; average people still had some wealth and property.... The debt load was not near what it was... People had some connections still, back on the farm, so wide spread starvation was not really likely.... Sure, conservatives and reactionaries then were as muscle headed as they are today... They did not want to part with any loot, and they wanted to take it all even when that was the cause of the problem... So, while the people want the truth, and need the truth so they will make government do its job; the job for which it was constituted, and not the one it has found for itself of making the rich richer, you still find the rich telling the president to inflate the bs bubble with hot air... I hope the president has the courage to resist such nonsense... I hope he brings the people around to the realization that capitalism has failed them... He will only be able to save the government if he shows the people a little distance between the rich and the government... Our government was not made to serve the rich... It protected property because property once paid the bills... We the people have no obligation to support a raft of parsites living inside our skin... The government has only chosen to put the economy on life supports... It is not required... The economy should fall, and the government should reform itself... If the people are forced to reform the government and the economy there is no telling how far it will go... I do not expect this people to die so the economy can live... We have died enough... I do not expect this people to die so the government can keep the economy on its feet.... We have put up with this nonsense long enough, and it is time for this peculiar relationship to end... Capitalism does not work... All the wind in the world will not make it work... It has all the wealth, and all the power... Capital no longer needs us... In fact; we no longer need it... If we need exploiters we can exploit ourselves...If we need government, we can govern ourselves... That whole class can march into the sea and not be missed... And them's the facts... Thanks... Sweeney
