Washington Whispers by Paul Bedard

Call Obama's Era 'Generation Change,' Not 'Obamalot'

By Paul Bedard, Washington Whispers.  

That whole change thing Barack Obama hyped during the presidential election seems to have settled into the American psyche. Because when Washington Whispers asked you for a phrase to describe his incoming administration, the overwhelming answer was "Generation Change." With our friends at Synovate and eNation, five possibilities were offered. Generation Change won with 46 percent. Our fave, "Obamalot," was a weak fourth at just 11 percent. Here's our new poll.

The Whispers Poll

John F. Kennedy had "Camelot," and Ronald Reagan had the "Reagan Revolution." What should Barack Obama's presidency be coined?

Generation Change 46%
The Obama Era 22%
Yes We Can Rebellion 13%
Obamalot 11%
Age of Obama 8%

Source: The Synovate eNation Internet poll was conducted December 2-4 among 1,000 nationally representative households by global market research firm Synovate.
