Whassup with this Blog?

  • The pundits and strategists on all sides of this Presidential contest, especially the relic Republicans, are amazed at the surge in popularity and electability of Senator Obama. What they don't get is that it is due to a force they failed to consider: the No-Nonsense Nature of Generation X. They've underestimated us, as usual. (Not that we really care what anyone thinks of us – never have, never will.) We know that the time has come for our generation to take the reins, in the person of Barack Obama, and a new mind set for new age.

GEN X Rocks

Hi! I loved your blog! I too, am a Gen Xer, 46 year old - totally betwixted and between baby boomer siblings 10 years older than me and nieces and nephews and cousins 10 years younger than me.

I am so not boomer!

Have you read the book The Fourth Turning??

http://www.fourthturning.com/

It goes over exactly the differences you speak of! It totally made me finally understand why I was so different than my siblings even though TECHNICALLY I was born in 1961 and therefore should be a "boomer"....but I'm absolutely not.

Just had to tell you how much I appreciate what you wrote. Perfect!

Rock On Nameless!

yo, 46 yr old genx woman

where do you find the time to do all this? it really is quite impressive. loved the mccain logos. your writing is above and beyond. you may want to limit the use of quagmire though.

you never fail to amaze me. keep up the good work, i'll be checking on you.

Thank you for actually posting that. Now that my initial reaction has passed I'd like to say that it does no one justice to use such generalizations about an entire group of people. I'm a 52 yr old Democratic female who does not fit into any of the generalizations you proclaim with such certainty. I *am* a Boomer. So what? I'll gladly accept responsibility for any wrong 'we' have done... but all the many 'wrongs' in our nation today do not rest on our shoulders as a group. Period.

I'm (not really) sorry but your wide brush Boomer judgments are a total load of crap. Now print that you self-important, sermonizing ungrateful .... never mind, you stop reading with the first few words because in your world there is no room for individuality only 'us' and 'them'. Sad really.

I love the site! Thanks for the comment section. When looking at the site the first time, I was hoping to find a way to email or leave comments. Now, it's here and the site is amazing! Thanks for putting this together.

Yes WE Can!
Obama '08

I believe Barack's administration will fulfill the promise of GenX leadership in the coming crisis. Calling the Millenials to the cause, tackling the problems sensibly and rationally (what a nice change) and seeing the country through the dark times.

Congratulations on creating one of the absolute best articulated political arguments I've ever heard. Your site is incredible. I'm astounded by your vision!

I am forwarding your link on to all the Gen Xers I know.

Wow! I love the way your mind works.
