Interesting post and blog. Relevantly, as many influential experts have pointed out, Obama is part of Generation Jones--born 1954-1965, between the Boomers and Xers.
On this page there are excerpts from publications like Newsweek and the New York Times, and videos with over 25 top pundits, all talking about Obama's identity as a GenJoneser:

I always thought "post-modernism" was a code word for "crappy" so let's hope not.
What does Obama's victory mean? He was clearly the better politician. He won by virtually the same margins Clinton did against a similarly stunted and aging Dole.
As time goes on, we should be seeing different generation in the WH. This shouldn't be surprising.
I really like your take on Obama's presidency. I agree that it was brilliant of Obama to appeal to the GenYers through ads on facebook, google, and even video games and I think it is great that so many people of all ages came out to vote for all ages.
I hope that Obama continues to listen to those of all ages while in his new position of leadership. I think it will help him achieve what he promised in his campaign, change.
Thank you for the great post!
I'm glad that Gen X has finally been broken up into Jones and X. Those born in the '60s are on a completely different wavelength than those born in the '70s.
