Uh...correct me if I’m wrong, Dick, but isn’t Obama a baby boomer himself?
“Uh...correct me if I’m wrong, Dick, but isn’t Obama a baby boomer himself?”
Obama was born in 1961, and I don’t consider him a boomer (some people use technical classifications of generations that might encompass 1961 into the boomer generation, but I personally think it’s misleading). The main type of boomers that Morris is referring to are those who were born in the 1940s and entered their twenties in the 1960s.
Obama was born in August 1961.
By some definitions, that would be Generation X.
The bottom line is that the guy is too young to remember where he was when John F. Kennedy was shot and is too young to remember the Beatles on Ed Sullivan.
Since he lived in Indonesia from age 6 to age 10, he probably does not remember much of the United States before 1971.
