Obama: Babyboomers Cant' Unite Country

From FOXNews:

"Barack Obama insisted Wednesday that his support in Iowa is broadening and cast doubt on rival Hillary Clinton's ability to convince voters she can deliver the type of change he says his campaign represents.

"There's no doubt that we represent the kind of change Senator Clinton can't deliver on. And part of it's generational," Obama told FOX News." Senator Clinton and others have been fighting some of the same fights since the '60s. It makes it very difficult for them to bring the country together to get things done. And I think that's what people hunger for."



But evidently Americas not tired of soundbytes, and general trivializations? Way to go alienating the offspring of the greatest generation, by trying to look hip, and kiss up to the youthful movers, and shakers in the kookfringe.

See you got it wrong there Obama. Babyboomers still have a lot to offer this nation, at least people like my parents who believe in it. Some of the same fights from the 60's at least from the conservative standpoint have been waged since the inception of this nation, and are worth fighting over, and over. Now if your talking about the boomer element that were active participants in the ant-establishment of the sixties that I can understand,but somehow I think your not. Even most of them have grown up, granted not all.

Basically what you said Obama:

Young = Cool

Old = Not Cool

DUDE !

or if you like:

Young = Relevant

Old = Not relevant

DUDE !!


He added that voters are "tired of the tit for tat. They're tired of divisive politics. What they want is somebody who can unify the country, push back against the special interests and stand up for what they really believe in."

"This is what we must do to reclaim the American dream. We know it won't be easy. We'll hear from the can't-do, won't-do, won't-even-try crowd in Washington; the special interests and their lobbyists; the conventional thinking that says this country is just too divided to make progress. Well I'm not running for president to conform to this conventional thinking. I'm running to challenge it," he said.


But what's your plan? Oh thats right you dont' have one, no solutions whatsoever all style, and no substance, and now basically what your saying is " Hey vote for me I'm the young hip guy running against all these old guys, and an old bat".


"We have grassroots support. That's the reason we're statistically tied. We've got the best organization on the ground," Obama said. "You can have all the establishment you want and all the Washington endorsements you want, but ultimately people are going to make a choice on who really cares about them and who has a track record for fighting for them."


" We have grassroots (nutroots) support".


Thats more like it.
