Looking through the material on generational politics I just realized that Barack Obama is the first member of Generation X to run for president. This may be a disputed point because some say that X'ers begin with those born in 1961, which means he is, while other say he was born in 1964, which means he isn't. I recall someone arguing that a boomer must be old enough to remember the Kennedy assassination.
So, do we want a slacker president? Or is the label accurate?
