12. I assume you are aware that most of the early boomers and
pre boomers don't spend that much time on the internet. A lot of Hillary's support is in the over 55 crowd. One of the reasons we don't spend much time here is that we are all taking care of our parents (WWII generation) and our grandchildren (because they have two working parents). Meanwhile, we are all still working full time.

There is a ton of anger in my age group at Obama for dissing our generation - the generation that has been involved in movement politics our entire life and we know that he is able to stand today as a candidate for President because of our generation's willingness to fight for changes. But what battle is fully won? The fight is not over but he tells us to put it down and make nice with the opposition. No thanks.

For many of us the generational wounds inflicted within our families in the 60s and 70s have never healed. And now, to top it off, we have to listen as this ingrate insults us.

I am lesbian. So he has thrown me under twice now.

But wait - his National Co-Chairman is a sexist pig so that makes it three times under the wheels of his Unity Bus.
