Evidently Gen X and Gen Y put Obama in office.
How much damage do you think that has done to the Republic?

Look at your graph again. If you incorporate the weight of each respective age group (18%, 29%, 37%, 16%), about 50% of Obama's voters came from the 44 and under crowd, and about 50% came from those 45 and over.
#1--As Joe 6-pack pointed out, those breakdowns have to be weighted, and they are much closer than they appear when posted without that weighting.
#2--we don't elect the President based on popular vote. All those young idiots in the cities of liberal states aren't who elected him. It was that Baby Boomer crowd in the swing states (many of whom had been Republicans early in W's Presidency).
Nice try, though.
Not nearly as much as Bush (the sequel) or Clinton. Iraq, Afghanistan, outsourcing American jobs for cheaper labor. Ask this question. Who has been in power the last thirty to forty years? Answer: Boomers. Boomers control politics, business, media, education, basically every aspect of modern day American society.
