Post-Baby-Boomer Hope

Lots of words have been said in the last 12 hours, but my hope is that Obama is going to be the first post-baby boomer leader of the western world. He is a Gen-Xr, so we hope that his world view will be very different from the binaries of the cold war and empire. It is truly great that a post-baby-boomer is at last going to be in power, so let’s hope it happens in other parts of the western world soon. We need politicians who come from the real world – not just Oxford and Cambridge…. I am hoping this will lead to progress in many of the worlds significant problems.

    Relevantly, as many influential experts and publications have repeatedly pointed out, Obama is part of Generation Jones, born 1954-1965, between the Boomers and Xers.Here’s a recent 5 minute GenJones video which features many top pundits specifically talking about Obama’s membership in Generation Jones: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ta_Du5K0jk

    That makes sense, GenX’ers are way too slack to be involved in organized politics! That said, what an amazing day, maybe ‘history’ will be kick-started again: post-end-of-history.
