It is sincere. I know this unlike four of the major presidential candidates he wasn't born in 1945 (Bill Clinton, George W. Bush) or 1947 (Hillary Clinton, Mitt Romney.) Rudy Giuliani is a huge outlier being born as early as 1944. Gasp!

I'm not a Gen-Xer either. Techncially I'm a Gen-Yer. By a lot. What I'm saying is at a certain point things reach a level where they HAVE to change. Many of us believe we're at this point.

All generations of leaders must pass eventually. Even Churchill, Truman, Thatcher, Golda Meir (all of whom weren't necessarily ready to go when they left.) Meir's my favorite by the way, the woman had nerves of steel. She once steadied Moshe Dayan one of my favorite generals.

Fortunately for the good of humanity and the world as a whole they had the sense to realize this. They understood when awesome new technologies, weapons, and advancements had evolved beyond their ability to handle. They understood when the world advanced and left them behind. They had the grace and dignity to accept this.

The Baby Boomers are a truly amazing generation which will have left its mark going all the way back to at least the early 1960s. Unfortunately they are one of the few generations who somehow does not seem to have this innate sense of when it is time to move on, out of power, and let others who are better able to respond to a changed world lead.

The world is speeding up, it always does. The 40s were different than the 30s and the 50s were different from the 40s. Winston Churchill who was an ideal leader in 1945 by 1955 was for all intensive purposes extinct politically. And this was not just because he was old. It was because the world was DIFFERENT and the skills he had grown up with no longer applied in the same way they once did. This is the point we have reached again.

This does not mean he disappeared. On the contrary he went on to win a Noble Prize for writing, painted his entire life, enjoyed frequent visits with the Queen and occassionally advised on crucial matters that undoubtedly might not have been solved without him. Because of this he was able to take his place in history and become all he was truly meant to be.

The Boomers have reached this point. The reason you see the increased resistance to them is because they simply refuse to either accept or understand this. I don't know which one. I have no doubt they mean only the best for all of us. Unfortunately their time has passed, the world is a more complicated place, and their continued insistence on maintaining complete control over the reigns of power has ever quickening and worse reprecussions for the world at large.

This is why you have a planet literally melting, genocides occuring on an unheard of scale (both of these two things date back to the first Clinton administration so they cannot be put solely on Bush's poor leadership) and an international occupation/war the likes of which America has never seen (which both of the current generation of older leaders voted for but the younger candidate was somehow able to see through) and from which America has no way to extract itself. Again please just consider this. Really ask yourself is it true. And not is Hillary Clinton just qualified to be president, but is she qualified to meet the tests of the 21st Century? More importantly do you honestly believe she is as well qualified to meet these wholly different threats as Barack Obama is?

First the media. CNN is largely known to be pro-Clinton. It's widely referred to as the Clinton News Network throughout the country. Any station that employs Paul Begalla and James Carville is definitely NOT pro-obama. I mean who do they have for him? Jamal Simmons? Give me a break. That one's hers.

MSNBC which would have been your best example (for its blatant anti-Hillary bias) is now COMPLETELY outweighed by Tina Fey and SNL on NBC. Come on even she admitted it in the debate. This basically brought her back from the dead. I've never seen a television program do as much for a candidate. You'd have to go back to JFK/Nixon on t.v. to find this kind of bump.

In terms of the cool factor. Hello Jon Stewart the Daily Show? That gave her a huge bump the night BEFORE Ohio and Texas. People on the huffingtonpost were talking about how funny and good she was and how they were going to vote for her and they used to hate Hillary over there. Ellen DeGeneres gave her a huge bump and an all but endorsement. She tried to cover and invite Barack back on, but it was at a less crucial time. David Letterman just about endorsed her way back in New Hampshire two months ago. That one was huge too! Know cause I saw it and people I called saw it too. One of my professors said it sealed the deal for her.

So no more anti-Hillary press whining! It's time to play fair. The press has more than made up for whatever bias they'd had.

Didn't want to have to do this but have to echo the other posters, Hillary won because the conservatives in Ohio and Texas voted for her. Point blank. Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, and Laura Ingraham have been encouraging them to do this for a week now and it worked. do you know why? Because they fear Obama, want to ruin the dem. party and would rather run against Clinton.

Don't believe me? Go to politico, go to any other blog, there are dozens of Republicans on there bragging about how their whole family voted for Hillary to skew the election and make sure she won it.
