a

My name is Ralph jones i'm 59 years old i am very early baby boomer and i think obama is most definately a baby boomer otherwise he would be a punk like gen x and gen y i cant imagine obama being anything else but a baby boomer so sorry obama but you are a boomer like it or not generation jones doesen't exist only boomers and gen x and gen y i say your definately a boomer if you were born from 1944 to 1964 after 1964 your most definately not a boomer but a gen x'er

No such animal

You are either boom or X there is no jones

Obama , like yours truly, is X. Obama 1961 me 1963.

Obama is a member of Generation Jones, between Boom & X

Obama is part of Generation Jones, born 1954-1965, between the Baby Boomers and Generation X. Google this and you'll see it's a pretty long list of commentators who have already stated this position. Among those who have publicly referred to Obama as specifically part of Generation Jones are: David Brooks (New York Times), Karen Tumulty (Time Magazine), Clarence Page (Chicago Tribune), Jonathan Alter (Newsweek), Roland Martin (CNN), Michael Steele (Chairman, GOPAC), Chris Van Hollen (Chairman, DCCC), Stuart Rothenberg (Roll Call), Juan Williams (Fox News Channel), Howard Wolfson (Political Advisor), Mel Martinez (U.S. Senator [R-Florida]), Carl Leubsdorf (Dallas Morning News), and Peter Fenn (MSNBC).
