Like many Gen X, I feel a seething rage toward the Baby Boom. This Joshua Glenn article and this John Broder article have really unpacked for me a lot of my unexamined political reactions toward the candidates. If I allow myself to think of Obama, who is technically a little too old, as my generation, then I have to admit, his "change" message feels substantial to me.
Whereas if I think of him as just another boomer politician, it rings hollow. I'm inclined to think he's an all-talk, no action boomer.
