the 60's and 70's gave me hope-especially as a young woman. The Reagan era made me feel doomed, as it did most of my generation. Trying to get into college during that time was not easy with rampant unemployment and cutbacks to educational grants, and we wondered what would be waiting for us when we graduated, as there were few jobs and home ownership was nearly impossible for the young.Then there was the fear that Ronny would "push the button" and get us all vaporized.

I don't know where Obama was living or what he was doing at that time, but Reaganism was NOT a great thing for America. It was a terrible direction for the country to go. Why does Obama have such contempt for the decades that brought about so much positive change for women, minorities,the working class and the environment? The decades that were defined by liberalism? Sorry, but he's lost me.
