Whether Barack Obama gets the Democratic nomination, his candidacy represents not only a profound landmark of racial healing but also a generational milestone, the introduction into the political process of millions of young voters who have been galvanized and magnetized by his message, and who are making it clear they are quite comfortable with taking the reins from their elders and don’t intend to wait for party bosses and pollsters to tell them when it’s their turn.
I reply:
There are those of us boomers who embrace the involvement, energy and fresh ideas of the younger generation (including our own children) in this political environment. Just as we knew then that "something is happening... Mr. Jones", we still believe today that our country needs to rethink the old mindset that has crippled our nation in its place in the world order. We have given away jobs, peoples lives, our souls and the future of this great nation to countries who not so long ago were our most adamant enemies. The only difference now is they are more covert in their attempt to minimalize the US as a world leader, and the tactics have become economic rather than idealogical and political.
