To the Baby Boomers...
I'm getting tired of you Boomers, quite frankly. Not as individuals, but as a group. You've had the last two Presidents and look where that's taken us. Sure, Bubba Clinton did some good things, but he also did a lot of bad things, and I'm not talking about Monica Lewinsky, either. Helping mega-corporations like Wal-Mart make obscene amounts of money through deregulation (Hillary used to work for them remember), the mess in Somalia, and the bombing of an aspirin plant in Iraq? Remember that stuff? He wasn't perfect. And he's certainly showed his true colors during his wife's campaign, dismissing Barack Obama by comparing him to Jesse Jackson, and saying Obama was a "false hope." Hmmm, that doesn't sound like the first black President to me, Toni Morrison.
And of course, because Bubba was so roundly hated by the right wing, they managed to get a MONKEY to beat Al Gore, one of the most intelligent men to ever run for President. Of course, like a true Baby Boomer, Dubya did whatever was necessary to get what he wanted, which included stealing the election. Your generation has produced the WORST president in the history of the United States. Period. No debate. Not my generation, YOURS. Bush's arrogance and ignorance have been a deadly combination. After Dubya, do you seriously think the rest of us are going to trust your generation again with the Presidency? No way. It's Obama or McCain, one generation after yours, one generation before yours. You had your turn and screwed it up. Now it's time to stop whining and bellyaching about how it's not fair that Hillary's not as popular as Obama. Get out and vote for Barack and end this madness. We can't afford a McCain presidency. The old coot is nutty as a loon! We'll be bombing Bulgaria! Jamaica! The Netherlands! And without joking, Iran for sure. Do we really want another old white guy? Been there, done that.
And before you come back at me, remember, Barack Obama is 46, not quite my generation. Close, though. I'm the tail end of Gen X. After Obama, the President will more than likely be a Gen-Xer.
Scary...
But not as scary as the 2 Boomers we've had to put up with the last 16 years.
Peace.
