Just a quick nod to a couple of pieces appearing in the media in the last couple of days talking about Barack Obama's candidacy in relationship to Generation X (Danny Westneat's
column in the Seattle Times) and Millennials (Michelle Conlin's
article in Busienss Week, seen here on MSNBC). I've always considered this the most compelling aspect of Obama, notwithstanding his other assets as an apparently thoughtful individual and manifestly inspirational speaker.
