So what, the left and its leadership are essentially boomers.
You seek to restrict this issue to who elected Obama. Where do you think the organization for the leftist movement came from? Boomers.And they have been working away for about 30 years to get a man like Obama in office.
Who do you think organized a national movement designed to get the vote for the movement? Boomers.A whole generation of radicals who started out by protesting and ending the Vietnam war. And they are still at it.And boomers are indeed resonsible for what we have in the white house today.A whole generation of leftist radicals.
The people who eleted Obama were younger, but the transmission of the radical view, its continuity came from a whole boomerngeneration of leftist radicals who should have been destroyed years ago, and who put up with them?Moderate boomers.
The process is described here:

Yep, you are one of those guys, your were incredibly wrong, but in instead of taking a breath and giving it some thought, you jump to the next attack.
THE RIGHT AND IT'S LEADERSHIP ARE ESSENTIALLY BOOMERS.
Who do you think steered the country to the right after all the leftism from 1930 to 1980? Sure there is a lot of liberalism but they are weaker today than they were in 1965, or 1935, or 1975.
Since the boomers came of age, Republicans actually challenge and defeat Democrats for the Congress, the Senate, the Governorships, the state legislatures, even big city Mayors offices, that is a development of only the last 20 years, even our Presidents like Clinton and George W Bush and Reagan are to the right of their party counter parts before the boomers, even Obama is no Lyndon Johnson or Roosevelt, he sucks, but his damage will be limited unlike the Democrats that proceeded him in earlier eras.
Look at the chart in post 68, and then remember that a few months after that Gallup polling at the bottom, with the war going on and the draft going as well and everyone sick of the war that the "greatest generation" seemed incapable of running, the boomers voted for Richard M. Nixon, not the democrat.
The boomers defeated the enemy in combat, but the adults were so incredibly screwed up in those days that they were just incompetent at running the war, the nation, or anything else much in the government and quasi government institutions and the already left wing, mass media.
The boomers produced almost 9.5 million veterans, and they are still fighting today as they help fill the ranks, including all leadership 46 years or older. Vietnam was mostly a volunteer war, unlike WWII which was overwhelmingly draftees, the Marines, Navy and Coast Guard total was approaching two million draftees just for them.
