Hope over fear

America has a new president.  Our first black president.  The first president of Generation X.

A president who is not of the Vietnam War era, or any era before it.

My first president.  The first president that I have enthusiastically supported.

Barack Obama has the power to unify us into one nation.  Muslim or Jew, Gay or Straight, Liberal or Conservative: we all have a place under his presidency.  I feel that Obama will lead us to a renewal in American power and that in 8 years we will be a much greater country than we are now.  Time will tell, but right now I'm riding high.

Obama is not an Xer. As many nationally influential voices have repeatedly noted, Obama is part of Generation Jones, born 1954-1965, between the Boomers and Generation X. Google Generation Jones, and you'll see it’s gotten a lot of media attention, and many top commentators from many top publications and networks (New York Times, Time magazine, NBC, Newsweek, ABC, etc.) are specifically referring to Obama, born in 1961, as part of Generation Jones.
